After the flames of the Gulf War have smoldered and died, a bloodthirsty madman still holds the reins of power in Iraq - and points a devastating chemical weapons arsenal at the vulnerable heart of his most hated enemy. The call for a Holy War has united the Arab world. In Israel, the way is being prepared for the inevitable response - nuclear retaliation. And a U.S. president, weakened plitically and militrily, dispatches a squadron of F-15 fighter planes to the volatile region - in a desperate gamble that will either avert ARmageddon...or hasten its coming.
