About this title

Review:

"It's more than a story of the making of an elite unconventional warfare operative--it's a real, in-your-face, and mesmerizing look at the birth of a patriot. You will be inspired, believe me."--Dale Brown

"Aaron Cohen has something to say. And he knows what he's talking about. If you're conflicted about how aggressive America should be in the global fight against terrorism, read this book. Cohen knows that national survival ain't free. A no-nonsense, riveting read."--General Tommy Franks (ret.)

"The book gives an unvarnished account of life in an elite Israeli counterterrorism unit--a side of life with which few Israelis and almost no foreigners are familiar."--Washington Jewish Week

"He brings us into the shadowy world of Sayeret Duvdevan, offering details of his missions and his training, throwing in some contemporary and historical context, introducing us to his comrades-in-arms and delivering numerous gory anecdotes."--Kirkus Reviews

Synopsis:

At the age of 18, Beverly Hills native Aaron Cohen left his life of comfort to prove himself in the crucible of the armed forces a?? and not just any armed forces. He was determined to be a part of Israel's most elite security forces. In 15 months of gruelling training, Cohen acquired skills that usually take years to master: expertise in combat infantry tactics, urban countera??terror warfare; he became a firearms expert, Krav Maga martial artist, undercover operative, getawaya??car driver. He was offered the only post a nona??Israeli can hold: in a topa??secret, highly controversial unit which dispatches operatives disguised as Arabs into the Palestiniana??controlled West Bank to abduct Hamas leaders and bring them to Israel for trial. Between 1997 and 2000, Aaron Cohen would learn flawless Hebrew and conversational Arabic, lose any semblance of his alla??Americana??90210 appearance, and participate in over 200 life or death missions. A propulsive, gripping read, Cohen's story is a rare flya??ona??thea??wall view into the shadowy world of 'Black Ops' that will redefine readers' understanding of what invincible strength, true danger, and inviolable security really is.
