A new book is coming out which provides even more evidence of how the Soviet Union effectively engineered the 1967 Six Day War in an effort to destroy the nascent Israeli nuclear program: http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1187779146277&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull.
The most fascinating aspect of this story in my mind are the emerging details of how Soviet ballistic missile submarines were poised off the Israeli shoreline and, even more stunningly, were contemplating landing troops in Israel (which undoubtedly would have turned the Cold War into a very hot one).
It really is an amazing story...............
