Storia

The untold story of how the Israeli military stopped Syria from becoming a global nuclear nightmare—"reads like an international thriller" (Jonathan Kirsch, Jewish Journal Review).

On September 6, 2007, shortly after midnight, Israeli fighters advanced on Deir ez-Zour in Syria. They were on a covert operation to destroy a secret nuclear reactor being built by North Korea in the Syrian desert. Shadow Strike tells the story of the espionage, political courage, military might and psychological warfare behind Israel’s daring operation to stop one of the greatest known acts of nuclear proliferation.

Jerusalem Post journalist Yaakov Katz brings to life Israel’s powerful military and diplomatic alliance with the United States, revealing the debates President Bush had with Vice President Cheney and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. He also shines a light on the diplomatic and military planning that took place in the Oval Office, the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem, and inside the IDF’s underground war room beneath Tel Aviv.

Katz also assesses the continued impact of this operation and bracingly asks the question: had Israel not carried out this mission, what would the Middle East look like today?
