The Fox and the Black Carbon

About this book

Behind the curtain.. where might is manufactured and conspiracies are woven. Between this book's folds, details unfold of one of the most dangerous secret operations in the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict; a story never told before about "the Fox" and his team of scientists and officers whose ambition's borders did not stop at liberating land, but extended to owning the keys of power and technological deterrence. The author takes us on a journey beginning from the heart of the Egyptian Ministry of Defense, where the idea of a long-range ballistic missile project crystallized, reaching NASA's laboratories and the cold alleys of European cities. Here, we speak not of bullets and cannons, but of "black carbon" - that mysterious material capable of making Egyptian missiles ghosts no radar detects, and of concussion bombs rivaling atomic bombs in destructive splendor without radiation. In this work, the tough military leader who sacrificed his professional future for the deterrence dream meets the Egyptian scholar who risked everything in foreign lands to smuggle military science's secrets to his homeland. You will feel on every page the breath of pursuit in "Salzburg" and "Vienna's" streets, and live the bitterness of infiltration and the secret work's price paid from families' stability and children's safety. "The Fox and the Black Carbon" is no mere chronicle of military events, but a human epic of sacrifice, steadfastness, and surpassing intelligence facing international powers that tried with all their force and intelligence tools to stop "the dream project." It is an invitation to explore the core of the Egyptian will when it decides to fight its battle in silence.. and in depth.
