Operation Kovesh - Paperback

by Andrew B. Louis (Author)

Overcoming multiple challenges, the international coalition attempts to reach their ultimate goal- destroying Iran's nuclear weapons.

"Operation Kovesh" is a David versus Goliath story. Israel is invited by the U.S. to help them get rid of the Iranian nuclear menace. This creates two challenges. The first is destroying the country's nuclear enrichment capacity. The second is that no finger can be pointed to Israel, the U.S., Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait.

The story comprises the building of the coalition, with a plan of operations. It then involves the development of the human and operational resources that will be required. Finally, it culminates with the execution of the plan.

The hero is in charge of the project within the Israeli secret service. He is joined by the team who will carry out the plan, as well as a few other characters. Once the mission starts, the main roles are played by the four agents tasked with the work on the ground.

The main uncertainties relate to risks associated with a covert endeavor. Operating under cover in a dictatorship is already quite difficult. But doing it with unusual and untested equipment, facing unpredictable obstacles that arise without warning and dealing with individuals whose commitments are uncertain is even more challenging.
