"[A] gripping story, filled with the stuff of spy thrillers. .

Winnipeg Free Press, April 8, 2007
"For those who want insight into one of the world's best
secret services, this book is must reading, as much for what it doesn't
reveal as for what it does. And it does reveal a great deal."

The author gives his personal experience of his time in service and does a fair job of explaining some of the background, including real life cases. It is quite well written and becomes involving enough to dare you leave some of its chapters unread. However, it only gets 3 stars due to what are, in my opinion, his downfalls: insufficient factual content (compared to, say, Ostrovski's or Thomas's books), and his intertwined, 150% right-wing views attributed as his justifications for some of his actions. It's a real shame that the text is thus tinged, as it would make an entertaining read otherwise.

I have read several books about Mossad and have to say that I liked this one least.
I find that the author is not critical at all, maybe due to his still persisting loyalty to Mossad as a former agent.
I do believe that a book should show both sides, not only the positive one.
Nevertheless its a good book to get an insight in how a Mossad agent actually works apart from all the great adventures people think they participate in.

I really enoyed this. I tore through the first 80% in a few hours over the weekend...then I had to do things like 'go to work' and it took a few days longer to polish it off. Entertaining, well written (just the odd occasion of slight repetition), dramatic, and a fascinating subject.

A fascinating insight into Mossad
I read this book gripped from beginning to end. With candour and honesty, the author reveals the inside life of a Mossad agent like few other books have. Read more
