These ships, hailing from diverse nations and backgrounds, were thrust into a conflict not of their making. Their crews, composed of ordinary men and women, faced extraordinary challenges as they navigated dangerous waters, dodged enemy attacks, and witnessed the horrors of war firsthand. Their experiences provide a unique perspective on the human cost of conflict and the resilience of the human spirit.

Chapter 1: The Gathering Storm
The book begins by setting the stage for the Six Day War, exploring the complex political and military tensions that led to the outbreak of hostilities. It highlights the critical role played by merchant ships in the buildup to the war, as they transported vital supplies and personnel to the region.
Chapter 2: Into The Maelstrom
As war erupted, merchant ships found themselves on the front lines. This chapter recounts the daring missions undertaken by these vessels, as they attempted to break through enemy blockades, evacuate civilians, and deliver essential supplies. The stories of individual ships, such as the Panamanian-flagged MS Gulf Trader and the Israeli-owned SS Bat Galim, illustrate the courage and determination of the crews.
Chapter 3: Tragedy At Sea
The Six Day War also witnessed tragic losses among merchant ships. This chapter documents the sinking of several vessels, including the Liberian-flagged SS Torrey Canyon and the Egyptian-owned MS El Quseir. The accounts of survivors provide a poignant reminder of the human cost of maritime warfare.

Chapter 5: The Aftermath
The Six Day War ended with a decisive Israeli victory, but its impact on merchant shipping continued to be felt long after the guns had fallen silent. This chapter examines the challenges faced by merchant ships in the aftermath of the war, including the need to repair damaged vessels, rebuild infrastructure, and navigate the complexities of postwar trade.
