Reviews

This will be a very important book because it addresses crucial issues whose time has come. The intellectual importance of the work is the skillful weaving together of the many layers and dimensions of perceptions, forces, and interests into explanations of the decisions that led to opacity as a national strategy. There are other books that treat the issue of Israeli nuclear doctrine; however, none interpret its historical development in this particular manner, nor assess the strategic implications of opacity. - Stewart Reiser, Harvard University
