Book Overview
THE SIXTH EDITION OF THE COMPELLING AND CONTROVERSIAL HISTORY OF ISRAEL'S SECRET INTELLIGENCE AGENCY 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. Formed in 1951 to ensure an embattled Israel's future, the Mossad has been responsible for the most audacious and thrilling feats of espionage, counterterrorism, and assassination ever ventured. Gideon's Spies draws from classified documents, confidential sources, and closed-door interviews with Mossad agents, informants, and spymasters to reveal the organization's deepest secrets. Revised and updated for 2012, this new edition includes the story of how Mossad assassinated the Hamas terror commander in Dubai in 2010, a look inside the modern Mossad training school, the departure of long-serving Mossad chief Meir Dagan and appointment of Tamir Pardo, Mossad's failure to provide the intelligence for the infamous Gaza flotilla raid, and the unresolved murder of a Mossad spy in London.

A Review of Gideon's Spies
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Gideon's Spies: The Secret History of the Mossad is a fascinating book. It contains everything from how it taped the conversations of Monica Lewinski and Bill Clinton to how they captured Adolf Eichmann and to how they took out missiles just seconds before they were to be detonated and shoot down the plane of Golda Meier when she flew to Rome. Nothing seems to be hidden from the Mossad. Do you want to know who hired Ali Agca to kill John Paul II? Read the book. It tells all.
Interesante, ágil, pero a veces parece de novela

El libro me lo bebí en unos cuantos días. Es muy ágil para leer y te llena de intriga, mas al suponer que todas las "revelaciones" tienen algo de cierto o fueron reales. Algunas cosas son comprobables por las mismas noticias, otras creo que caen en lo novelesco. Aún así no lo compré como documento histórico, sino para entender un poco mas de la organización Mossad y no me decepcionó. Excelente si buscas este mismo objetivo

Gideon's spies is very well written and informative. The detail of events is incredible, and I look forward to checking out other books by this author. This book will definitely take you into a different world and will change your perspective of international relations.

You may be able to put down Gideon's Spies and spread your reading over several days, but I couldn't. I picked up the book on Friday, and started...but when I picked it up on Saturday I couldn't stop. It was very late into Sunday morning when I fonished. Do you want to know what really happened and not what the biased and uninformed media put out? Your view of the world and especially the intelligence services will never be the same. You will want to question what you see and hear. You will be shocked at the duplicity of politicians and governments, if you now aren't. Be prepared for your education about the real world.
