A mild~mannered Swiss engineer devised and executed one of the most daring espionage coups of all time. An Egyptian~born Jew nearly became the Syrian Minister of Defense. Five ultramodern missile boats were stolen from under the noses of French security men on Christmas Eve. Adolf Eichmann was kidnapped and spirited out of Argentina before the police knew he was even there ~ no less missing. These sound like the ingredients of spy novels. Each of them is completely true. Each is only one of the exciting adventures of the Mossad~lsrael's Secret Intelligence Service. Cloaked in secrecy for most of its twenty~five~year existence, the Mossad has always worked in quiet obscurity. Only the brilliant team of Uri Dan and Eli Landau~ Israel's most respected military and intelligence correspondents ~with the international journalist Dennis Eisenberg, could penetrate that secrecy. They possess the contacts within every area of Israeli intelligence to get the inside information. Now, for the first time, they have brought these amazing stories to light with authority and accuracy. Though small by comparison with the intelligence organizations controlled by the Soviet Union and the United States, Israel's Mossad~the Institution for Intelligence and Special Assignments ~ is certainly their equal in efficiency and dedication. There is nothing accidental about this: surrounded and outnumbered in every respect by hostile nations, Israel depends for its very survival on a complete knowledge of its enemies' activities. In this war of knowledge the Mossad is Israel's most valued weapon. It maintains constant intelligence activity in any area that might affect the nation's security. And when danger threatens, as it did in the hijacking that ended so dramatically at Entebbe airport in 1976, the Mossad is always ready to spring into action. But the Mossad story is about much more than the murky world of spy and counter~spy. Though armed with the latest in every type of electronic hardware, it depends first and foremost on the men and women it recruits from the cream of Israeli society. Here are the truly intimate stories of the triumphs and failures of these Mossad agents: men and women who work in lonely isolation, with brilliance and dedication, and nearly always in mortal danger. Their stories are charged with drama, emotion and intrigue. Time magazine rated the Mossad as one of the four finest intelligence services in the world. The Mossad's counterparts in Russia, the United States, Britain and France respect them~and fear them. In The Mossad: Israel's Secret Intelligence Service, eyery reader can find out why.…
