Talk:The Samson Option: Israel's Nuclear Arsenal and American Foreign Policy

Article Needs to Explain WHY Called Samson Option and What That Is

Good start! But explaining meaning of Samson Option should be done in first or second paragraph or people will get confused and think it means the whole program per se.

Also I'll look around for another positive review so there will be two of each :-).

Also you might note it was a New York Times editors choice book: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D0CE6DA1E3DF937A15752C1A967958260

Also the book is often described as a best seller, evidently publishers weekly per below.

http://www.amazon.com/Samson-Option-Israels-Nuclear-American/dp/0394570065 NOTES: From Publishers Weekly Hersh's investigation into Israel's nuclear capabilities sparked a series of controversies when it appeared in hardcover, and spent three weeks on PW 's bestseller list. Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. st.

If you really want to dig you can see if it was a NY Times best seller for 1991 at this page. Info in PDFs by week so have to search one by one. http://www.hawes.com/1991/1991.htm

PS: It doesn't have anything specifically about revelations about Israeli hostility towards Soviet Union or that it wanted the information to target, and did target, it. Something he repeats over and over in the book.

I don't know if the Ben Gurion - Kennedy spat was news at that point, but if it was, should be in there too.

Oh, and the fake control room, was that news or recycle info?

Re: list format

Tag: This article is in a list format that may be better presented using prose. I started thinking about that myself other day. I'm working on Samson Option article and finding more WP:RS commenting on the book itself which help me do that soon. FYI. CarolMooreDC 21:51, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
