Specificatii
Based on an exhaustive review of formerly classified government
documents-as well as previously unexplored corporate filings,
office diaries and unguarded interviews-Grant F. Smith has written
a riveting story of the 1960s diversion of US weapons-grade nuclear
material from an Israeli front company in Pennsylvania into the
clandestine Israeli atomic weapons program. The talented but highly
conflicted founder of the Nuclear Materials and Equipment
Corporation (NUMEC)-Dr. Zalman Mordecai Shapiro alongside his close
friend and financial backer David Lowenthal-engaged in a ferocious
clandestine drive to funnel the most valuable military material on
earth that forever tilted the balance of power between Israel and
the world. Divert chronicles Zalman Shapiro's journey from crafting
ingenious innovations for the Nautilus nuclear submarine in the
1950s to his costly pursuit of America's most advanced hydrogen
bomb designs in the 1970s. Tasked during secret summits with
high-level Israeli intelligence agents, guided by Israel's top
nuclear arms designers, and defended by Israel and its US lobby,
Shapiro and NUMEC drove the CIA and FBI from furious outrage to
despair. Presidents from LBJ to Jimmy Carter secretly grappled with
how to respond to Israel's brazen theft of American nuclear
material before finally deciding to bury the entire affair in
classified files. But NUMEC's toxic secrets have refused to be
buried alive. Newly declassified wiretaps have risen from the
grave, detailing Shapiro's utter contempt for worker and nuclear
safety. David Lowenthal's role as an international refugee smuggler
between the US, Europe and Israel-before organizing financing for
NUMEC-is placed under new scrutiny. This explosive story emerges
even as the US Army Corps of Engineers struggles to quietly clean
NUMEC's toxic waste near Apollo, Pennsylvania with $170 million in
taxpayer funding. At a time when America is coming under intense
pressure to attack on the mere suspicion that Iran is diverting
nuclear material, Divert stands as the ultimate cautionary tale of
how US Middle East policy is continually undermined from within by
corruption, immunity, deceit and unwarranted secrecy.
