Synopses & Reviews
In the secret world of spies and covert operations, no other intelligence service continues to be as surrounded by myth and mystery as the Mossad. Gordon Thomas reveals that all too often the truth exceeds all the fantasies about the Mossad. Revised and updated for 2015, this new edition includes:
- Mossads secret meeting in 2013 with Saudi Arabias intelligence chief to plan for Israel to use Saudi to attack Iran should the Geneva discussion fail to be honored by Iran.
- The attack on Iraqs nuclear reactor that will be the flight path to an attack on Irans nuclear facilities.
- Mossads new cyber-war unit preparing to launch its own pre-emptive strike.
- Why Mossads former director, Meir Dagan, has spoken out against an attack on Iran.
- Mossad agents who operate in the "Dark Side" of the internet to track terrorists.
- Mossads drone and its first killing.
- Mossads role in the defense of Israels Embassy in Cairo during the Arab Spring.
- An introduction to Mossads new director, Tamir Pardo.
These and other stunning details combine to give Gideon's Spies the sense of urgency and relevance that is characteristic of truly engrossing nonfiction.
