The Whistleblower of Dimona

"Before October 5, 1986, Israel's nuclear capability was a source of speculation. However, after Mordechai Vanunu, a former technician at Israel's secret nuclear research center at Dimona, had disclosed highly classified details about the reactor at Dimona and the nuclear program, Israel's nuclear ambiguity was compromised. As a result, Vanunu was kidnapped by the Mossad and taken back to Israel where, after a closed doors trial, he was convicted of espionage and treason and was kept in solitary confinement for more than eleven years of his eighteen-year sentence.". "Journalist Yoel Cohen probes the consequences of the Vanunu affair in a multilayered study of Israel's intelligence community, and its international relations, as well as nuclear development in the Middle East. The Whistleblower of Dimona also provides the first comprehensive publication of the deliberations at Vanunu's trial, drawing from thousands of pages of recently released court transcripts, which includes the testimony of senior Israeli ministers and officials."--BOOK JACKET.
