Israel attacks Iran! Israeli Prime Minister Eli Cohen concludes that Israel is alone in its struggle to halt the Iranian nuclear program. But there’s a big Israel has no viable plan to attack Iran without American help. Frustration grows and time passes as the Israeli Defense Forces are mired in conventional thinking. Should Israel use its nuclear weapons in a first strike? After all, the very existence of the nation is at stake. Then a brilliant young Mossad agent named Amit Margolis offers a suggestion that is anything but conventional. The radical concept is embraced by Prime Minister Cohen and his small group of advisors known as the Kitchen Cabinet. The plan to destroy the Iranian nuclear program becomes known as “Esther’s Sling.” Follow Amit Margolis and General David Schechter, a top commander in the Israeli Air Force and former commander of the fabled 69 “Hammers” Squadron, as they prepare, train and execute Esther’s Sling. What is the secret that allows the IAF to attack Iran in a single sortie without any overt American help? Are nuclear weapons necessary? Will it work? The answers lie in Esther’s Sling.
