Publisher's Summary:
In False Flag, Israeli-born Dalia Artzi, a tactical genius and specialist at Princeton in the study of maneuver warfare, uncovers a fiendish plot by a small group of Israeli fanatics to commit a horrific crime against the United States government and pin the blame on Iran. At first Dalia, a pacifist, is hesitant to get involved. But, strong in her Jewish faith, she believes that the goal of her religion is not to crush one's enemies but to practice tikkun olam, to repair the world. Soon Dalia has little choice but to act quickly and do what she must to prevent the unspeakable.
Meanwhile, Jana, a beautiful but deadly Israeli operative taking orders from the conspiring fanatics, is determined to deftly fulfill the deadly mission entrusted to her. Once the plot has been carried out, Jana and the commanders of her mission believe that Israel's enemies will meet with total destruction when the world's most powerful nation retaliates. Jana is firm in her conviction that she is on the side of right and believes the ends will justify the means, however violent.
Centered on a fascinating and original Israeli heroine and antiheroine, False Flag probes some of the most important political and moral conflicts of our times. Altman examines extremism in its many incarnations and the complex pitfalls humans encounter when they try to do what is right, no matter the cost. In the process, he continues his tradition of creating ruthless female assassins, delivering his most terrifying creation yet. Riveting espionage, struggles of conscience, and edge-of-your-seat intrigue combine to make False Flag one of the most compelling and controversial thrillers of 2017.

On the edge of my seat the whole time...
What a read! And just before Donald Trump's first State of the Union! It raised the hair on the back of my neck - the politics, in fiction, so matching fact. I read it in 2 days. Could not put it down - could not put it out of my mind. I hope to God it never actually happens.
Not Impossible to Imagine
Just finished this book which has a timely and terrifying plot. Gal Gadot and Meryl Streep would be perfect for
the Israeli anti-heroine and heroine if a movie is made. One can no longer say it could never happen here.
The writing is spare and excellent.
Interesting Plot
I would have liked this book better if the information had been introduced in a different order. Sometimes I had difficulty figuring out who was "speaking." I would not recommend this book to a friend.
Solid Counter Espionage
A little stretch for the premise that gets us to the where the wheels are rolling, but once you get past that the details and back stories plus the action come together really strongly.
70 year old female heroine - hurrah!
I love the spy thriller genre and "False Flag" does not disappoint. Very fast paced,
twists and turns galore, suspenseful throughout. I hope the plot doesn't give
all the bad actors in the world ideas. How refreshing to have a 70 year old , female
heroine to save the day!
