Synopsis

Created in 1951 to ensure the future of an embattled Israel, the Mossad has been responsible for the most audacious and thrilling feats of espionage, counterterrorism, and assassination ever ventured. Gordon Thomas' 1999 publication of "Gideon Spies", resulting from closed-door interviews with Mossad agents, informants, and spymasters as well as from classified documents and top-secret sources, revealed previously untold truths about the Israeli intelligence agency. And now, in this edition, Thomas updates his classic text and shows the Mossad as it truly is: brilliant, ruthless, and flawed, but ultimately awesome. Three all-new chapters cover topics including: How the Mossad planned to assassinate Saddam Hussein; Saddam's food-testing ritual, and the surprising "source" within his government; China's U.S.-based front-companies, and its relationship with bin Laden; Mossad's untold role in the events before and after 9/11; Mossad and revelations about Princess Diana's death; The disappearance of the millions transferred from the Vatican Bank to the Polish Solidarity movement; How extremists recruit suicide bombers, including women; Mossad's untold role in the Iraq war and the hunts for Saddam and bin Laden; and, Saddam's plans for trial.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In the secret world of spies and covert operations, no other intelligence service continues to be surrounded by myth and mystery, or commands respect and fear like Israel's Mossad. The Mossad's deepest secrets are revealed in "Gideon's Spies", and this fifth edition is completely updated with new information including the Mossad hospital raid that eventually uncovered sleeper cells in Britain, the assassination of the world's second most wanted terrorist, the destruction of a newly-discovered nuclear facility in Syria, the intricate relationship between Israeli intelligence and the Bush administration's war on terror, and why one former Mossad chief says, 'we are looking down the barrel of World War III unless the world wakes up'.
