, I would suggest a review of the Osirak strike
might be timely.

In particular:
- "Two Minutes Over Baghdad", Perlmutter et
al, was updated with a
Second Edition in 2003.
- "Raid on the Sun : Inside Israel's Secret
Campaign that Denied Saddam
the Bomb", Rodger Claire, 2004.

Can anyone recommend any others?


I assume a similiar strike today would be more
difficult given longer
distances, better air defenses and perhaps more
widely dispersed nuclear
development sites instead of a single reactor.

Dan Kurtzman wrote Bullseye Iraq or Bullseye, One Reactor (two titles for
the same book). He's a good writer, having written about the U.S.S. Indianapolis
sinking and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, among other topics.
