Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is B&W footage from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's coverage of the Six-Day War (dubbed Operation Strike, Zion! by Israel), the only film crew allowed on the battlefield.
This video has some spectacular shots, such as Israeli figher jet camera footage of the downing of an Egyptian MiG, though unfortunately, due to age, much of the film quality itself is poor.
Since the film crew was behind Israeli lines, the viewpoint is from their perspective and so might come across as slightly more pro-Israeli (as a warning to those who tend to get fanatical on the issue).
Militarily, this is an excellent study of an incredible war where superior intelligence, tactics and resolve were able to overcome superior numbers, arms and technology in a remarkably short period of time.
The only complaint I have is that, for the price, it could have been longer as it is only 60 min. long. That keeps it from getting more than 3 stars.
