This is the story of a small beleaguered country committed to fight in the air and on the ground against the whole resource of the Soviet Union; it charts the Israeli airforce's successes over Egypt and the commando raid on Fatah HQ in Beirut; it describes the first missile-to-sea fight in history which helped tip the balance in the Yom Kippur War, and the famous raid on Entebbe.
In a story which shifts between Jerusalem and Washington, Los Angeles and Paris, it tells too of the men and women who grew up with Israeli Independence and the triumph of the Six-Day War but know the cause is still to be fought for as their sons go into battle.
