Abstract (summary)
UN Secretary-General U Thant's decision to abruptly remove UN forces, in
response to Egyptian President Gamal Abd al-Nasser's demand, is seen as one
of the factors that led to the 1967 War, as well as to a failure in peacekeeping.
This article discusses the rights and wrongs of that choice and also the role of
the UN and other countries in the crisis.
