The first authorized inside account of one of the most daring—and successful—military operations in recent history
From the earliest days of his dictatorship, Saddam Hussein had vowed to destroy Israel. So when France sold Iraq a top-of-the-line nuclear reactor in 1975, the Israelis were justifiably concerned—especially when they discovered that Iraqi scientists had already formulated a secret program to extract weapons-grade plutonium from the reactor, a first critical step in creating an atomic bomb. The reactor formed the heart of a huge nuclear plant situated twelve miles from Baghdad, 1,100 kilometers from Tel Aviv. By 1981, the reactor was on the verge of becoming “hot,” and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin knew he would have to confront its deadly potential. He turned to Israeli Air Force commander General David Ivry to secretly plan a daring surgical strike on the reactor—a never-before-contemplated mission that would prove to be one of the most remarkable military operations of all time.
Book review: Amazing book about the harrowing and brave journey of 8 Israeli figher pilots in blowing up a major Iraqi nuclear facility. The book chronicles the life of Saadam Hussein and his quest for world domination and nuclear prestige. It also discusses the history of Israel within the Middle East, and how this nation the size of New Jersey becomes a nuclear powerhouse and military intelligence not to be compared with any other nation. Israel succeeds in duping the world many times over, but the most successful campaign is the bombing of the Osirak facility outside of Baghdad. This book is a must for any Zionist!
