"Oren is not only a lucid, compelling writer, but reader Robert Whitfield is a master at narrative drive through intonation alone. The listener cannot put this book down. A triumph." (AudioFile)

How did the narrator detract from the book?
I'm fine with the fact that the narrator doesn't have a Hebrew accent. If he wants to pronounce leh-VEE esh-KOHL as LEH-vee ESH-kohl, that's fine. But LEE-vie (like the jeans)?? Really?? And Nes ZI-uh-na (with a zee sound) instead of Nes Tzi-O-na? The HA [like hat]-guh-nuh- instead of the hah [like hot]-gan-NAH? Drove me crazy throughout the book, and really detracted from my enjoyment of what was otherwise a terrific book.Great writing; TERRIBLE narration

I would like to comment on the narrator. He reads crisply and does a fine job, with one glaring exception. He pronounces many people's names incorrectly. There are so many wrong pronunciations that it gets to be a bit humorous (if you don't laugh, you might give up on this fine book in frustration). I don't understand why he didn't get a script that gave the correct way to say non-English names. Still, that would not keep me from renting this great book.

As for the war, I was amazed at the extent of miscommunication and outright military incompetency. Israel had the better approach and that obviously showed in the outcome, but even Israel had its major blunders. The Arab nations, on the other hand, were so intent on deceiving themselves and their people that their loss was foreordained.
I would definitely suggest this audio book to the person who wants much more than just a summary of this war.
Detailed account, well-written

Of course there will be some that will say his writing is biased, but I found that he was very even handed in exposing errors and mistakes by all parties envolved. I did not come away thinking I was hoodwinked by a biased analysis.
I am sure one day I will relisten to this book. The narrator was excellent as usual.
A wonderful retelling

If you could sum up Six Days of War in three words, what would they be?
I love factual books and this one is like a college course. Forget about characters; this is a history lesson. I enjoyed this book very much as it filled in much of the current history of Israel. This book may not be for everyone so I gave it a 4 star rating.Who was your favorite character and why?
Israel because such a small country has and continues to affect the path of history. Why? Because the Bible said it would.Have you listened to any of Robert Whitfield’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
