On 7th June 1981 a group of F-16 fighter-bombers from the Israeli
Air Force bombed the newly completed French-built Iraqi nuclear
reactor at Tuwaitha, south-east of Baghdad. The F-16s dived in low
and dropped 2000lb iron bombs and 900lb HE bombs on the main
reactor building destroying the reactor, yet leaving only one
casualty. Up above six F-15 fighters flew top cover while on the
border of Iraq CH-53 Air Rescue helicopters were ready to retrieve
any pilots who were shot down. The Iraqi air defences around the
reactor were formidable with SA-6 (Gainful), SA-2 and SA-3
anti-aircraft missiles and ZSU-57-2 and ZSU-23-4 radar guided
anti-aircraft guns and MIG-21 and MIG-23MF fighter interceptors
based at a nearby airfield.

This book represents three decades of Perlmutter's experiences and
observations. The author studies the relationship between the
military and politics in Middle East, focusing mainly on Egypt as a
case study. He concludes by analysing the effect this internal
relationship has on military performance.
In this interpretive study, Amos Perlmutter offers a comparative
analysis of the twentieth century's three most significant world
orders: Wilsonianism, Soviet Communism, and Nazism. Anchored in
three hegemonical states--the United States, the Soviet Union, and
Nazi Germany--these systems, he argues, shared certain
characteristics that distinguished them from other attempts to
restructure the international political scene. While Communism and
Nazism were committed to imperial ideologies, Wilsonianism was
inspired by an exceptionalist, peaceful, democratic, and free
market world order. But all three were able to mobilize industrial,
technological, and military resources in pursuing their goals. In
the process of examining the democratic, Communist, and Nazi
systems, Perlmutter also provides a framework for understanding
U.S. foreign policy over the course of the century, particularly
during the Cold War. He underscores the importance of ideology in
establishing an international order, arguing that in the wake of
the Soviet Union's demise, no system--not even Wilsonianism--can
lay claim to the title of new world order. A UNC Press Enduring
