The necessity for the strike is averted, but an Israeli <a href="/wiki/Mark_12_nuclear_bomb" title="Mark 12 nuclear bomb">Mark 12 nuclear bomb</a> is accidentally left on an <a href="/wiki/A-4_Skyhawk" class="mw-redirect" title="A-4 Skyhawk">A-4 Skyhawk</a> attack aircraft flown by Captain Mutti Zadin; which is subsequently shot down over <a href="/wiki/Syria" title="Syria">Syria</a>, near <a href="/wiki/Kafr_Shams" title="Kafr Shams">Kafr Shams</a>.

Eighteen years later, an Israeli police captain (coincidentally the brother of the downed pilot) converts to a fundamentalist sect of <a href="/wiki/Hasidic_Judaism" title="Hasidic Judaism">Hasidic Judaism</a> after discovering his wife had an <a href="/wiki/Affair" title="Affair">extramarital affair</a> and attempts to instigate a violent demonstration of <a href="/wiki/Palestinians" title="Palestinians">Palestinians</a> at the <a href="/wiki/Temple_Mount" title="Temple Mount">Temple Mount</a>.

Captain Zadin then kills the leader of the demonstration by shooting him point-blank. The United States finds it hard to diplomatically defend Israel, yet knows it cannot withdraw its support without risk of destabilizing the Middle East. </p><p>Following the advice of <a href="/wiki/Deputy_Director_of_the_Central_Intelligence_Agency" title="Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency">Deputy Director of Central Intelligence</a> (DDCI) <a href="/wiki/Jack_Ryan_(character)" title="Jack Ryan (character)">Jack Ryan</a>, <a href="/wiki/National_Security_Advisor_(United_States)" title="National Security Advisor (United States)">National Security Advisor</a> Dr. Charles Alden enacts a plan to accelerate the peace process by converting <a href="/wiki/Jerusalem" title="Jerusalem">Jerusalem</a> into a <a href="/wiki/Holy_See" title="Holy See">Vatican</a>-like independent <a href="/wiki/City-state" title="City-state">city-state</a> to be administered by a tribunal of Jewish, <a href="/wiki/Muslim" class="mw-redirect" title="Muslim">Muslim</a>, <a href="/wiki/Catholic_Church" title="Catholic Church">Roman Catholic</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Eastern_Orthodox_Church" title="Eastern Orthodox Church">Eastern Orthodox</a> religious leaders, and secured by an independent contingent of the <a href="/wiki/Swiss_Guards" title="Swiss Guards">Swiss Guards</a>. As a nod to Israel, the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Army" title="United States Army">U.S. Army</a> supplies the IDF with more sophisticated equipment and agrees to construct a training base in the <a href="/wiki/Negev_Desert" class="mw-redirect" title="Negev Desert">Negev Desert</a> run by the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Army" title="United States Army">U.S. Army</a>'s tank warfare specialists and the revived <a href="/wiki/10th_Cavalry_Regiment_(United_States)" title="10th Cavalry Regiment (United States)">10th Cavalry Regiment</a>. To everyone's surprise, Ryan's plan seems to work, in large part due to Ryan's meetings with officials in Israel and <a href="/wiki/Saudi_Arabia" title="Saudi Arabia">Saudi Arabia</a> and the acquiescence of the reformist President Andrey Narmonov in the <a href="/wiki/Demokratizatsiya_(Soviet_Union)" title="Demokratizatsiya (Soviet Union)">democratized Soviet Union</a>. With their religious contentions appeased, the factions in the Middle East find it much easier to negotiate their disputes. </p><p>White House Foreign Affairs Advisor Elizabeth Elliot holds a <a href="/wiki/Feud" title="Feud">grudge</a> against Ryan and Alden and maneuvers against them. She first takes Alden's job as National Security Advisor by taking advantage of a <a href="/wiki/Sex_scandal" title="Sex scandal">sex scandal</a> involving a child fathered by Alden out of wedlock, with the stress contributing to Alden's death in a severe stroke that causes a <a href="/wiki/Orbital_blowout_fracture" title="Orbital blowout fracture">blowout fracture</a>. She concurrently begins a sexual relationship with widowed President J. Robert Fowler and manipulates him to publicly omit Ryan's role in the peace settlement, taking credit for himself. After Ryan accuses her of wishing to silence an American opponent of the deal, Elliot engineers a <a href="/wiki/Smear_campaign" title="Smear campaign">smear campaign</a> accusing Ryan of engaging in an extramarital affair and fathering a child with a young widow. Jack's friends, CIA operatives <a href="/wiki/John_Clark_(Tom_Clancy_character)" class="mw-redirect" title="John Clark (Tom Clancy character)">John Clark</a> and <a href="/wiki/Domingo_Chavez" class="mw-redirect" title="Domingo Chavez">Domingo Chavez</a>, convince Ryan's wife Cathy that the allegations are false. Jack's alleged mistress is Carol Zimmer, widow of Buck Zimmer, who was killed during Ryan and Clark's earlier mission to <a href="/wiki/Clear_and_Present_Danger" title="Clear and Present Danger">rescue Chavez and his Army teammates from Colombia</a>. Ryan later decides to retire from the CIA, but not before he puts together a covert operation to uncover corrupt dealings between Japanese and Mexican government officials. </p><p>Meanwhile, a small group of <a href="/wiki/Popular_Front_for_the_Liberation_of_Palestine" title="Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine">Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine</a> (PFLP) terrorists, enraged at the looming failure of their jihad against Israel, come across the lost Israeli bomb and use it to construct their own weapon by using the bomb's <a href="/wiki/Plutonium_pit" class="mw-redirect" title="Plutonium pit">plutonium pit</a> as fissile material for a new bomb. The terrorists enlist the help of disaffected East German nuclear physicist Manfred Fromm who agrees to the plot, wishing to exact his own revenge against his former communist country's <a href="/wiki/Reunification_of_Germany" class="mw-redirect" title="Reunification of Germany">reunification</a> as a capitalist democratic state. With Fromm's expertise, the terrorists enhance the weapon by turning it into a modern style <a href="/wiki/Boosted_fission_weapon" title="Boosted fission weapon">boosted fission weapon</a>. The terrorists' plan is to detonate the weapon at the <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl" title="Super Bowl">Super Bowl</a> in <a href="/wiki/Denver" title="Denver">Denver</a> while simultaneously staging a <a href="/wiki/False_flag" title="False flag">false flag</a> attack on U.S. military forces in stationed in Berlin by East Germans disguised as Soviet soldiers. The terrorists are trying to begin a nuclear war between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The East Germans hope that the war will eliminate both superpowers and punish the Soviets for betraying <a href="/wiki/World_Socialism" class="mw-redirect" title="World Socialism">World Socialism</a>, while the Palestinians hope the attack will destroy the Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement and end U.S. aid to Israel. </p><p>Thinking that his work on the bomb is complete, the Palestinians kill Fromm. However, Fromm had not yet told them that the <a href="/wiki/Tritium" title="Tritium">tritium</a> for the booster still needed to be filtered before use, to eliminate accumulated <a href="/wiki/Helium-3" title="Helium-3">helium-3</a>. The Palestinians assemble the bomb for use, but when detonated, the impure booster material causes only a low yield <a href="/wiki/Fizzle_(nuclear_test)" class="mw-redirect" title="Fizzle (nuclear test)">fizzle</a> to occur. Even with low yield, the bomb still destroys the Super Bowl venue, killing nearly everyone there including the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Secretary_of_Defense" title="United States Secretary of Defense">Secretary of Defense</a>, the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Secretary_of_State" title="United States Secretary of State">Secretary of State</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/North_American_Aerospace_Defense_Command" class="mw-redirect" title="North American Aerospace Defense Command">commander of NORAD</a>. With the corresponding attacks in Berlin, the United States briefly assumes <a href="/wiki/DEFCON" title="DEFCON">DEFCON</a>-1 status as Fowler and Elliott prepare for a nuclear war. The crisis is averted by Ryan, who learns the <a href="/wiki/Savannah_River_Site" title="Savannah River Site">domestic origin</a> of the bomb's plutonium, gains access to the <a href="/wiki/Moscow%E2%80%93Washington_hotline" title="Moscow–Washington hotline">hotline</a>, and convinces the Soviet President to stand down his country's military. </p><p>When the terrorists are captured and interrogated by Clark in Mexico City, they implicate the Iranian <a href="/wiki/Ayatollah" title="Ayatollah">Ayatollah</a> in the attack. President Fowler orders the Ayatollah's residence in the holy city of <a href="/wiki/Qom" title="Qom">Qom</a> to be destroyed by a nuclear strike. Ryan averts the attack by enforcing the <a href="/wiki/Two-man_rule" class="mw-redirect" title="Two-man rule">two-man rule</a>. The terrorists are delivered to the FBI field office in Buzzard Point, where Ryan questions them. During questioning, Ryan falsely asserts that Qom was destroyed, tricking Qati into revealing that Iran was not involved, and that their deceit was meant to discredit the United States; thus destroying the peace process and allowing the campaign against Israel to continue. Elliot is sedated after suffering a <a href="/wiki/Nervous_breakdown" class="mw-redirect" title="Nervous breakdown">nervous breakdown</a>, while Fowler resigns office and is succeeded by his Vice President, Roger Durling. </p><p>The terrorists are executed by <a href="/wiki/Decapitation" title="Decapitation">beheading</a> in <a href="/wiki/Riyadh" title="Riyadh">Riyadh</a> by the commander of the Saudi Arabian special forces using an ancient sword owned by the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Saud" title="House of Saud">Saudi royal family</a>.

He also has a deep rivalry with Dr. Elliot. As a result, he begins to develop alcoholism and increasingly poor health. He later decides to retire from the agency in order to overcome his drinking problem and spend more time with his family. During the events of the novel, Ryan becomes increasingly concerned about the growing economic dominance of Japan, which becomes a theme in the following novel <i><a href="/wiki/Debt_of_Honor" title="Debt of Honor">Debt of Honor</a></i>.</li> <li><b>J. Robert Fowler</b>: President of the United States. Fowler was introduced in <i>Clear and Present Danger</i> as the <a href="/wiki/List_of_governors_of_Ohio" title="List of governors of Ohio">Governor of Ohio</a> and a presidential candidate, and won against the incumbent President after he deliberately threw the election.

He was widowed after his wife died from <a href="/wiki/Multiple_sclerosis" title="Multiple sclerosis">multiple sclerosis</a>, and begins a romantic relationship with Dr. Elizabeth Elliot. He is motivated by his public image and desire to secure a legacy, and as a result takes credit for Ryan's program. After the crisis on the Denver bombing, during which his decision-making deteriorates rapidly, he resigned from office and was succeeded by his Vice President, <b>Roger Durling</b>. According to an audio commentary in the DVD release of the <a href="/wiki/The_Sum_of_All_Fears_(film)" title="The Sum of All Fears (film)">film adaptation</a>, Clancy has said that he based Fowler on 1988 Democratic presidential candidate <a href="/wiki/Michael_Dukakis" title="Michael Dukakis">Michael Dukakis</a>, claiming that left-wing politicians <a href="/wiki/Presidency_of_Harry_S._Truman#End_of_World_War_II" title="Presidency of Harry S.

At the beginning of the book, she finally achieves the position using a sex scandal against Dr. Charles Alden, and nearly derails Ryan's plan by withholding a new radar system from Israel to coerce them to accept the deal. Holding a grudge on Ryan from their first encounter (depicted in previous novel <i><a href="/wiki/Clear_and_Present_Danger" title="Clear and Present Danger">Clear and Present Danger</a></i>), she denies him credit for the Middle East peace plan and falsely leaks to the media that he has a mistress, severely straining his marriage.
