Narration Toward Books Mossad: The Greatest Missions of the Israeli Secret Service
The Mossad is widely recognized today as the best intelligence service in the world. It is also the most enigmatic, shrouded in secrecy. Mossad: The Greatest Missions of the Israeli Secret Service unveils the defi ning and most dangerous operations that have shaped Israel and the world at large from the agency's more than sixty-year history, among them: the capture of Adolf Eichmann, the eradication of Black September, the destruction of the Syrian nuclear facility, and the elimination of key Iranian nuclear scientists.Through intensive research and exclusive interviews with Israeli leaders and Mossad agents, authors Michael Bar-Zohar and Nissim Mishal re-create these missions in riveting detail, vividly bringing to life the heroic operatives who risked everything in the face of unimaginable danger. In the words of Shimon Peres, president of Israel, this gripping, white-knuckle read "tells what should have been known and isn't--that Israel's hidden force is as formidable as its recognized physical strength."

Its like reading a 007 thriller - only that this is real! Simply love the spirit of Israelis.Mossad is a fast paced, thrilling work of non-fiction that gives the reader a glance into the seemingly impenetrable, censored world of one the most powerful secret service agencies.

Every character in a non-fiction is a real human being, who walked this earth. And, thats where lies the charm of reading a book which follows the life and history of an organization and its operatives. The names like Isser Harel or Meir Dagan arent just names of characters; these are the names of real day heroes. And, through this book I got the opportunity to visit them personally. Who can ask for more?The book is well detailed, not too detailed to become slow, but enough to keep the reader
To be humbled by a story and its authors is extraordinary for me. This is the true account of the Israeli Secret Service: Mossad and its greatest achievements (and a few SNAFUs) beginning in the 1950s to 2012. The little country Israel, surrounded by giants, roars like a thousand lions with Mossad against world terrorist organizations to include the PLO, HAMAS, and attacks by Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Syria. It is a truly powerful story worth reading.

Mossad - Bollywood styleI wrote a spy novel when I was in my teens. Growing up on Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne series and super technical Tom Clancy's books, I was very confident that I could write a bestseller with my made up knowledge about inner workings of the CIA.
