They fear the outbreak of a total regional war into which their forces could be dangerously drawn.

‘Six Days of War,’ coming soon after Israel–on a 30 year declassification rule–opened its archies on 1967, is a powerful rendering of what has turned out to be a world-historical event.

A detailed account mostly political of the lead up to the six day war (beginning in 1948 ) and continuing for about five years after the war. It has a very academic flavor the author seems to like LBJ (?) and dislike Dayan. He does present some Arab sources and a few from the soviets
Well worth reading
