Israel Strikes Iran: Operation Rising Lion—The 20-Year Backstory is the stunning and dramatic account of how the Iranian regime labored for decades to launch nuclear missiles against Israel to usher in an apocalyptic paradise, and how Israel raced to stop them. It all resulted in the dramatic Operation Rising Lion, culminating in the 12-Day War. Famed investigative historian Edwin Black, author of IBM and the Holocaust and The Farhud, delivers another extraordinary book achievement.
