Viac o knihe

No intelligence service is surrounded by more myth and mystery than Israel's Mossad, hailed by the CIA as ‘the best in the world’. It inspires awe among allies and fear among adversaries, boasting some of the most devoted agents globally. Mossad orchestrated the daring rescue of Israeli hostages from Entebbe and pinpointed targets for Israeli bombers to destroy Iraq’s nuclear reactor. Since the 1940s, it has been a vital tool in Israel’s struggle for survival. Ronald Payne presents the first comprehensive history of Mossad, weaving true tales that read like a thriller. The narrative features heroes, dare-devils, and intelligence masters, sharing incredible stories of kidnappings, Nazi hunts, high-tech espionage, nuclear smuggling, and counter-terrorism operations. This account is both penetrating and suspense-filled. Ronald Payne (1926-2013) was a distinguished newspaper correspondent specializing in espionage and international crime, covering the Middle East since the 1950s, including the Suez crisis and the 1973 Yom Kippur War. He also conducted a notable interview with Colonel Gaddafi and authored several books on terrorism and warfare, including a bestselling work on the Falklands War.
