Israel Strikes
This book is about a fictional future Israeli attack on Iran.Israel Strikesis about that attackand the ensuing war. The catalyst for that war is Iran's nuclear program.As this book goes to print, that program is active and Israel has takenno overt steps to stop it. I strongly suspect that within, say, 18 monthsof publication, the war I describe in these pages will happen for real.This book does not try to predict that war or its course. I have nospecial information or contacts within any government. All the ideascontained therein are my own. I do speculate about what that war will be like. That speculation isinformed by a decade spent studying the Arab /Israeli Wars and thethree Israeli conflicts with terrorists in the 2000s. I've also designedfor Decision Games a war game on the topic, Lebanon '82: OperationPeace for Galilee. Anyone who is familiar with Israel's fight for survivalwill get whiffs of that past readingIsrael Strikes; Operation Yonothan,Operation Defensive Shield, the Raid on Osirak...On a technical note, most of the American made equipment havedesignations unique to the Israeli Defense Force. To avoid confusion Ihave used American terminology. Lastly, thanks again to my army of editors, Kathy Yearick, KirstenAnderson Robbins, Lee and Sharon Moyer. William StroockGreat Barrington Massachusetts
