La historia gira en torno a una terrible arma secreta que obra en poder del ejército iraquí y cuyo uso puede deparar una estrepitosa derrota de las fuerzas aliadas. Sólo hay una manera de evitar el peligro que se cierne sobre Occidente: infiltrar un agente en la propia Bagdad con una misión suicida... El puño de Dios narra en clave de ficción los pormenores de un conflicto bélico que conmovió el mundo y constituye una de las mejores novelas de Forsyth, maestro de narradores.
