Snapshot — A.J. Quinnell

On Sunday, 7th June 1981, Israeli F16 jets bombed and destroyed the Iraqi nuclear installation at Tammuz. This raid is the heart and climax of A J Quinnell's spellbinding thriller, a story of characters real and invented, of violence and vendettas, and of intense love and courage.



Shattered by the horrors of Vietnam, photographer David Munger has retired into a private nightmare. But lured back into action by Israeli Intelligence, and supported by the love of a remarkable woman, Munger finds himself at the centre of the deadly labyrinth of espionage, murder and blackmail that leads to the fateful raid on Tammuz.
