RAID ON THE SUN: Inside Israel's Secret Campaign That Denied Saddam the Bomb - Rilegato

Advance Praise for Raid on the Sun
“Rodger Claire handles a complex story with ease and assurance. Infused with an understanding of the pilots and their historical mission, RAID ON THE SUN illustrates how what they achieved for Israel was as vital as that earlier flight of the Enola Gay to Hiroshima to end World War Two. Claire has created a patient, scrupulous story that still unfolds with the pace and verve of a thriller.  Don’t wait for the movie of the book.  Buy it now.” —Gordon Thomas, author of Gideon’s Spies: Mossad’s Secret Warriors

“RAID ON THE SUN is an extraordinary look into the most secret, and perhaps the finest, air force on the planet. It is also a blistering indictment of the international arms industry that sell modern weapons to anyone with money. RAID ON THE SUN is required reading for everyone in the age of terror.” —Stephen Coonts, author of Flight of the Intruder

“A stunning eye-opener, shocking you with the realization of the enormous service the Israeli Air Force rendered the free world with its 1981 attack on Saddam Hussein’s nuclear facility. Claire went right to the source—the Israeli pilots who flew the mission—to tell in colorful detail the full story of this historic strike.” —Walter Boyne, author of Operation Iraqi Freedom: What Went Right, What Went Wrong and Why

Rodger W. Claire, a former magazine editor, is the first journalist to have been granted complete access to all of the individuals involved in the raid on Osirak and to classified materials detailing it. The author of numerous articles and two screenplays, he lives in Los Angeles.
