Until now, on the Arab side, silence engulfs the catastrophic mistakes that led to the loss of Sinai in 1967, writes Abdou Mubasher
The June challenge
The June 1967 War lasted minutes for some, years for others. Thirty years later, in 1997, commanders and soldiers told Galal Nassar their stories, piecing together fragments of the tragedy: men lost in the desert, messages sent and never received, and the bitter taste of defeat that was to last six long years. Marking the 40th anniversary of the tragic events of that war, Al-Ahram Weekly revisits the voices of the vanquished yet defiant
Too late for peace
