Summary
This document is page 87 of a memoir or historical book, stamped with a House Oversight Bates number (027935), indicating it was gathered as evidence in the Epstein investigation. The text is a first-person narrative recounting the geopolitical and military escalation leading up to the Six-Day War in 1967, specifically detailing the author's recall to the elite Sayeret Matkal unit under Uzi Yairi. While the text describes historical events involving Levi Eshkol and Gamal Abdel Nasser, the document's relevance to Epstein likely stems from the author's identity (likely Ehud Barak, a known Epstein associate and former Sayeret Matkal commander) or its presence in Epstein's personal library/files.

When I reached the base, Uzi Yairi... put me in command of one of them.
