hired West German scientists to develop its long-range missiles program

Publisher's Summary
The forgotten cloak-and-dagger history of the former Nazi scientists
who were recruited by Egypt to develop long-range missiles capable of
striking Israel.
From 1951 to 1967 Egypt pursued a secret program to build military rockets
that could have conceivably posed a threat to neighboring Israel. Because
such an ambitious project required Western expertise, the Egyptian leader
President Nasser hired West German scientists, many of them veterans
Mossad, and caused deep alarm in Tel Aviv. Would Israel fall under the
shadow of long-range missiles held by a ruler who was sworn to destroy
the Jewish state? Could the missiles be fitted with warheads filled
with radiological, chemical, or even nuclear materials? Israel responded
by using threats, intimidation, and brutal assassination squads to deter
a century later, this book tells the gripping story of the mysterious
arms dealers, Mossad assassins, scientific genii, and leading figures
who all played their part in Operation Damocles.
