Publisher's Synopsis
A charged revealing examination of the historical events surrounding the London Sunday Times headline of October 5, 1986: "Revealed: the secrets of Israel's nuclear arsenal". Mordechai Vanunu, was a former technician at Israel's secret nuclear research centre at Dimona, and had made public highly classified information about Israel's nuclear research program; for this he was kidnapped by the Mossad, subjected to a closed doors trial, convicted of espionage and treason, and subjected to an eighteen-year sentence. A careful and meticulous study of the Vanunu affair, this startling expose involves Israel's intelligence community, and draws from thousands of pages of court transcripts and testimony connected to the case. THE WHISTLEBLOWER OF DIMONA is compelling and strongly recommended reading -- especially in light of contemporary international events in the Middle East.
