Embassy Henry Kitchen

Embassy is the code name of a Mossad operation against Iranian backed terrorists operating out of Gaza. The main aim of the terrorists is to force the United States of America to lose face by accepting that moving the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem cannot be sustained. Many of America's allies do not support the move, which is seen to be contrary to the United Nations two state solution for Palestine. Nasir al-Din Tusi, an Iranian white turban Mullah, has organised the design and manufacture of lightweight, target seeking rockets. The first one, launched by a Hamas rocket team lead by Latif al-Hus a hero of Dimona, hits its target. Mossad are called in by the Americans to prevent further attacks and Oscar Chaiken, Deputy Director of Metsada Mossad is tasked with eliminating the threat. This book, the second in the 'In Time of War' series recounts events as Mossad, aided by the CIA, uses its considerable reach and influence to attempt to destroy the design, manufacturing and delivery network organised through Hezbollah, Iran and Hamas. Tension mounts as Chaiken, aided by the Americans, seeks to destroy the remaining rockets. The action ranges through Israel, Gaza, Iran, the Gulf and South Africa. As with the previous book in the series IBRAHIM, it shines a light on the politics within Mossad, Hezbollah, Hamas and the external forces waging proxy wars throughout the Middle East.
