Review
"The general reader will find this a fascinating and informative book; those responsible for their nations' security will find in it lessons they will ignore at their own peril."
-- Major General (Res.) Aharon Yariv, former director, Israeli Military Intelligence
"Cohen and Gooch have done their job well. They have mastered their sources, used considerable imagination...the book is well-written and sound in judgment."
-- Caspar Weinberger, The Wall Street Journal
