About this Item

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. 192 p. maps.
