Khaled Fahmy is working on a revisionist Egyptian history of the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. Relying on published memoirs by Egyptian commanders, newspaper and magazine interviews with officers, as well as literary works written by soldiers, Fahmy aims to offer an account of the combat experience of thousands of soldiers facing one of the most catastrophic defeats in modern history.
