I found a nice little book (at my local supermarket) about the 1981
Israeli raid with F-16's on the Osiris "research" reactor in Iraq
near Baghdad.  It includes technical information on Iraq's efforts to
get a bomb, information on the Israeli air force (and the modifications
to the F-16's that they did), and the particular play-by-play of the
attack (including some tactics and equipment use).  It isn't very wordy,
nor very long, it has lots of simple politics (which is interesting if
not necessarily convincing), and is a nice account of some of the
capabilities of the F-16.

                                          "Bullseye One")
      1987, Berkley.
