Synopsis

Ephraim Lapid's book presents the vast successes of the Israeli intelligence community, yet does not refrain from exposing its failures as well. A must-read for all who take interest in the security of the state and in the history of Israel, the IDF, and the clandestine community. With the trustworthy hand of one who was involved in the building, Ephraim Lapid spreads before us the story of the development of Israeli intelligence from its inception (with an emphasis on the '60s and '70s), painting a wide and complex view of the circumstances, threats, and opportunities that turned Israeli intelligence into one of the best in the world. Lt. Gen. Ehud Barak, former prime minister, defense minister, and foreign affairs minister of the State of Israel Ephraim Lapid provides the reader with a rare and detailed insight into the way the Israeli intelligence community steadily developed over the years and assumed a crucial role as both an originator of unorthodox diplomacy and a tool that was vital to Israel's success in leading the country from six hundred thousand to over six million Jews and over two million indigenous Arabs.... No other book provides the range and depth seen here.... The book provides a minute and detailed description of the infrastructure that has not only chalked up dramatic and critical operational results, but has also reinvented itself as new challenges have necessitated rapid solutions. Efraim Halevy, ninth head of the Mossad; former chairman of the Israeli National Security Council

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

In Israel s Silent Defender, Brigadier Generals (Res.) Amos Gilboa and Ephraim Lapid have compiled thirty-seven essays written by experts and leaders of Israeli intelligence, among them high-ranking analysts and J2s, commanders of human intelligence (HUMINT), signal intelligence (SIGINT), visual intelligence (VISINT) and open source intelligence (OSINT) units, and heads of the Israel Defense Intelligence (IDI), the Mossad and the Shabak.

Efraim Halevy is a lawyer and an Israeli intelligence expert. He was the ninth director of Mossad and the 4th head of the Israeli National Security Council. Above all, he is remembered for his part in bringing about the IsraelJordan peace treaty. The special relationship he developed with King Hussein of Jordan made it possible for Halevy to open Jordan to the awareness that only a peace agreement with Israel would extricate the Hashemite kingdom from the crisis after the Gulf War.
