Triple (US edition)

Triple

Triple is based on a true story about the Israelis stealing uranium to make a nuclear bomb. I didn't really know how the Israelis had gone about getting the uranium, but came up with an educated guess. Later I found out that the Israeli intelligence service, Mossad, was asking people where I had got my information from so maybe I guessed right!
