À propos des auteurs
Michael Bar-Zohar is a writer, public speaker, and former lawmaker. Author of many novels and nonfiction books, he was a member of the Knesset and envoy to the Council of Europe. A former adviser to General Moshe Dayan, Dr. Bar-Zohar has also served as a professor at Haifa University in Israel and at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. He is one of Israel's foremost experts on espionage and the official biographer of David Ben-Gurion and Shimon Peres. He also wrote the biography of Isser Harel, the legendary Director of the Mossad, and co-authored The Quest for the Red Prince, which dealt with the bloody war between the Mossad and Black September. Bar-Zohar's books have been translated into eighteen languages.
Nissim Mishal is one of the foremost TV personalities in Israel. After graduating with a master's degree in political science, he joined the staff of the Israeli state television and worked as a political reporter, Washington correspondent, and, finally, its director-general. At the fiftieth and sixtieth anniversaries of Israel, Mishal published two record-selling books about the great events in Israel's history. They were translated into English, French, Russian, and Spanish. He has also coauthored a book on two thousand years of Judaism with Professor Shlomo Ben-Ami, a former Israeli minister of foreign affairs.
À propos de la quatrième de couverture
A riveting follow-up to Michael Bar-Zohar and Nissim Mishal's account of the most memorable missions of the Mossad, No Mission is Impossible sheds light on some of the most harrowing, nail-biting operations of the Israeli Special forces
Mossad: The Greatest Missions of the Israeli Secret Service brought to life the gripping, legendary missions of Israeli's national intelligence force like never before, capturing the danger of the operations and the bravery of the operatives who risked everything to complete their assignments.
Now, in No Mission Is Impossible, Michael Bar-Zohar and Nissim Mishal return with the intensely absorbing, fast-paced story of thirty of the boldest missions of the Israeli Special Forces. Bar-Zohar and Mishal depict in electrifying detail major battles, raids in enemy territory, and death-defying commando missions while also sharing the personal stories of both soldiers and top commanders, revealing their hopes and fears. The stories are often of victories, but sometimes also of immense failures, and run side-by-side with the accounts of the lives and accomplishments of some of Israel's most prominent figures, including Moshe Dayan, Ariel Sharon, the brothers Netanyahu, Ehud Barak, and Avigdor Kahalani. We follow Sharon, from his near death at the battle of Latrun in 1948, to his crossing Suez in 1973; we are with Ehud Barak, dressed in women's clothes, when he commands a daring raid in Beirut in 1973, and then when he is elected Prime Minister in 1999. Besides recounting the mesmerizing, high-stakes missions, No Mission Is Impossible includes an interview in each chapter with a major figure who took part in the mission discussed, including some of the most prominent players in Israeli politics, and stunning photographs, many published for the first time.
Captivating and eye-opening, No Mission Is Impossible is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding how these crucial missions shaped Israel, and the world at large.

Hardcover. Etat : Very good. Etat de la jaquette : Good. xiii, [3], 365, [3] pages. Illustrations. Includes Preface, which discusses two never-ending combats: a combat on the front lines with Israel's enemies, who never give in, and an inner combat--the effort to conceive and apply strict moral and humane principles, unequaled by any other army. Also includes Source Notes, Acknowledgments, and Index. Michael Bar-Zohar (born 30 January 1938) is an Israeli historian, novelist and politician. He was a member of the Knesset on behalf of the Alignment and Labor Party in the 1980s and early 1990s. In 1965 Bar-Zohar won the Sokolov Award for his achievements as a journalist. Nissim Mishal is one of the foremost TV personalities in Israel The absorbing, fast-paced stories of thirty of the boldest missions of the Israeli Special Forces. These missions include Entebbe, 1976; Jerusalem, 1948; Black Arrow, 1955; the Sinai Campaign, 1956; The Six Day War, 1967; The War of Attrition, 1969-1973; The Yom Kippur War, 1973; The Nuclear Danger, 1981 and 2007; The Lebanon War, 1982; Fighting Terrorism, 1988-2014; and the Epilogue: The Lost Tribe Returns (From the Heart of Africa to Jerusalem--Operation Moses (1984), and Operation Solomon (1991). Each chapter includes an interview with a major figure who took part in the mission discussed, including some of the most prominent players in Israeli politics, and stunning photographs, many published for the first time. Derived from a Kirkus review: In this harrowing account of Israel's special forces, Bar-Zohar and Mishal delve into the complexity of their nation's covert missions, especially during its violent formative years. The book opens with Operation Entebbe, a hair-raising attempt to rescue Israeli hostages from a compound in Uganda in 1976. When terrorists stole a passenger jet, they flew to the African nation and broadcast their demands. The authors describe the Israelis' secret plot to infiltrate the fortress, kill the guards, and free the civilian prisoners. This story sets the tone for the book, and every chapter reads the same: the authors describe a deadly situation, such as Egyptian armament on the Sinai border or a midair hijacking by terrorist group Black September. Resourceful Israeli officers huddle, concoct a plan, and dispatch their troops. Bar-Zohar and Mishal re-create certain scenes with rich dialogue and description, and many of these moments are rife with suspense. The stories are astonishing, especially the authors' descriptions of the military firing precision missiles into populated areas, killing Hamas fighters and only a handful of civilian bystanders. The book is illuminating and shows how desperate and vicious the Arab-Israeli conflict has been. Israel did what it had to do, the authors argue; this kind of bloodshed is the only way to survive. A well-researched and tensely written history that conveys some of emotional depth of key Israeli sagas. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. N° de réf. du vendeur 79001
