Somewhere in Baghdad is the mysterious "Jericho", the traitor who is willing- for a price- to reveal what is going on in the high councils of the Iraqi dictator. But Saddam's ultimate weapon has been kept secret even from his most trusted advirsers, and the nightmare scenario that haunts General Schwarzkopf and his colleagues is suddenly imminet unless, somhow, the spy can locate that weapon in time.
