LIFE MAGAZINE ON THE SIX DAY WAR: From The Bookworm Room, The Six Day War in real time:

Last year, I got hold of a copy of a 1967 Life Magazine that was rushed into press immediately after the War. The collected articles in that magazine make fascinating reading because (1) they position Israel as David to the Arab Goliath, (2) they recognize that Israel has always been a proxy fighter (then, in the Cold War; now, in the Jihadist War against the West), and (3) they predict the coming refugee problem. I’m consolidating three old posts for this one new one, so long-time readers will recognize a lot of this. Familiarity shouldn’t breed contempt for this content, though, because it’s very interesting stuff, both as contemporaneous news, and as a snapshot of reporting that enables us to understand how the American media has changed.

Read the whole thing.
