"Publisher Random House says, on the flaps of the dust jacket, that The Samson Option "reveals many startling events," among them:
- How Israel stole United States satellite reconnaissance intelligence and used it to target the Soviet Union.
- How Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir directed that some of the intelligence stolen by American Jonathan Pollard, who spied for Israel, be turned over to the Soviet Union.
- How Israel created a false control room at the Dimona nuclear facility to hide from American nuclear inspectors its use in creating nuclear weapons.
- How President Dwight Eisenhower’s administration tried and failed to force Israel to acknowledge its nuclear ambitions.
- How Israel threatened to use nuclear weapons on the third day of the 1973 Yom Kippur War, blackmailing U.S. President Richard Nixon into airlifting military supplies.
- How Israel used a top London newspaper editor to capture Mordechai Vanunu.
- How a top American Democratic Party fund-raiser influenced the White House while raising money for the Israeli bomb.
- How American intelligence finally learned the truth about Dimona.
- Fuller details about the Israeli bombing of the Iraqi nuclear facility in 1981.
- That Israel collaborated with South Africa on a nuclear test over the Indian Ocean in 1979.
- That during the 1991 Gulf War Israel pointed nuclear armed mobile missiles at Iraq.
- That Israel holds a few neutron bombs in addition to several hundred other nuclear weapons.That U.S. policy towards Israel's nuclear program "was not just one of benign neglect: it was a conscious policy of ignoring reality."
- CIA analysts kept quiet about what they found in Lockheed U-2 spy plane photographs of Dimona during the 1950s.
- Lewis Strauss, chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission during the 1950s, probably knew about and supported the Israeli nuclear weapons program.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Samson_Option:_Israel's_Nuclear_Arsenal_and_American_Foreign_Policy#cite_note-ALS-2"><span>[</span>2<span>]</span></a>
