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. For the first time ever, resulting from closed-door interviews between the author and Mossad agents, informants, and spymasters, as well as classified documents and top-secret sources, the truth about the Mossad is about to be revealed. From the Mossad agent in the Clinton White House who enabled Israel to call the shots in the ongoing Middle East peace process to the nuclear secrets smuggled out of the U.S. and used to jump-start Israel's own atomic weapons program, Gideon's Spies reveals the Mossad as it truly is: brilliant, ruthless, flawed, but ultimately awesome.
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

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.
