Two Minutes over Baghdad
Perlmutter, Amos - Handel, Michael - Bar-Joseph, Uri
Early in 1980, the Israeli Government's worst fears - that an unstable Arab regime such as Iraq would acquire nuclear weapons - were realised.
President Saddam Hussein had constructed a nuclear plant at Osirak, near Baghdad, and it was his declared intention to use the bomb against Israel...
Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin made an agonising decision - a flight of F-15 fighter aircraft and F-16 fighter-bombers, manned by perhaps the most skilled pilots in the worid, would destroy the Iraqi nuclear plant.
In Two Minutes Over Baghdad, the true story of 'Operation Babylon' is told for the first time.
