"This book tells what should have been known and isn't—that Israel's hidden force is as formidable as its recognized physical strength."— Israeli President Shimon Peres For decades, Israel's renowned security arm, the Mossad, has been widely recognized as the best intelligence service in the world. In Mossad, authors Michael Bar-Zohar and Nissim Mishal take us behind the closed curtain with riveting, eye-opening, boots-on-the-ground accounts of the most dangerous, most crucial missions in the agency's 60-year history. These are real Mission: Impossible true stories brimming with high-octane action—from the breathtaking capture of Nazi executioner Adolph Eichmann to the recent elimination of key Iranian nuclear scientists. Anyone who is fascinated by the world of international espionage, intelligence, and covert "Black-Ops" warfare will find Mossad electrifying reading.

This book describes the clandestine missions that were defining moments in the evolution of the Mossad, including its pursuit of the Black September terrorists who murdered Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympic Games, its acquisition on the high seas of yellowcake uranium for Israel's undeclared nuclear weapons program, and its role in bringing to justice Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann. The agency's more questionable deeds are also covered, among them the assassination of civilian scientists associated with Iraq's nuclear energy program and the abduction of Israeli citizen Mordechai Vanunu, who, like Edward Snowden, has been variously depicted as a principled whistleblower and an unscrupulous traitor. Taken together, the missions discussed in this volume illustrate the Mossad's character, creativity and courage, while acknowledging the problematical moral dimensions of its operations.

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 international journalist Dennis Eisenberg, could penetrate that secrecy. 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.

L’histoire s’accélère et le Mossad est sur tous les fronts : décès de Yasser Arafat, situation troublée en Afghanistan et en Irak, menace nucléaire iranienne, disparition politique d’Ariel Sharon, guerre au Liban... Après avoir dévoilé dans Histoire secrète du Mossad plus de cinquante ans d’histoire des mythiques services secrets en charge de la sécurité d’Israël, Gordon Thomas nous livre aujourd’hui le récit brûlant et déroutant des combats contre le terrorisme international. Il nous révèle ce qui sous-tend les bouleversements actuels : affrontements entre le Mossad et le MI6 (services secrets anglais) et alliance entre le Mossad et les services secrets chinois pour voler aux États-Unis leurs secrets atomiques. Gordon Thomas dévoile les nouveaux théâtres du combat contre Al-Qaïda en Europe mais aussi en Amérique du Sud. Il décrit les progrès réalisés par cette organisation dans l’acquisition d’armes chimiques et nucléaires. Tout en dénonçant les complicités et les transferts de technologie atomique entre la Chine, le Pakistan, la Corée du Nord et l’Iran, il révèle les plans secrets israéliens pour détruire les installations nucléaires iraniennes en cas d’échec des négociations diplomatiques. Enfin, après avoir raconté l’implication du Mossad dans la mort de Lady Diana, il montre comment l’Institut israélien suit les progrès de l’enquête menée par Lord Stevens, ce dernier ayant averti le prince Charles qu’il pouvait s''attendre à des « révélations choquantes ».

Linda miraculously survived the Holocaust, Aliza broke the glass ceiling, the Trio - three young women - saved Israel from a terrible danger. And many other brave Amazons accomplished astonishing missions.For many years, the activities of the Mossad lohamot were highly classified by the authorities. Today, the veil of secrecy has been lifted, and the Amazons incredible exploits have been cleared for publication. At last.

After three years' military service, Mordechai Vanunu answered an ad for a control room job at the nuclear research center near Dimona. In 1976 he was assigned to Mochon 2, where he discovered the nuclear weapons program that he later divulged to Peter Hounam. Before his story could be published however, Vanunu met Cindy, a beautiful American woman who lured him to Rome. Caught in a trap, he was attacked by agents from Mossad (the Israeli secret service), drugged, and smuggled to Israel to stand trial for treason. Since then, Vanunu has spent more than 12 years in solitary confinement. In The Woman from Mossad, Hounam details the kidnapping and what happened to Cindy when she was exposed by the author. He also names governments that secretly helped Israel.

This book is about the Israeli Mossad Assassination of Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh. Before his assassination, Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh served as a senior Hamas military commander and was part of the team that founded the brigades of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam. Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh was a terrorist and a known operative of the al-Qassam Brigades responsible for terrorist activities targeting Israel. Al-Qassam’s most proficient terror act was the 1989 abduction and murder of two Israeli soldiers. Before his death, Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh played a crucial role in the procurement of weapons for the al-Qassam squad. Dan Raviv and Yossi Melman are journalists who, in 2010, alleged that al-Mabhouh had played an important role in forging secret linkages between the Gaza based government of Hamas and the Iranian Al-Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guards. Killed on 19 January 2010, in a famous hotel in Dubai upon his return from Syria, the life of Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh was full of thrilling action¬, something only realized upon his death. His death uncovered many mysteries nobody really cared to know. Even though the chief of the Dubai police force announced their investigations revealed Mossad took part in the murder of al-Mabhouh, and asserted he was completely sure Mossad committed the assassination, the life and death of Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh is one full of thrilling suspense and action. This book is where history, scheme, and reality meet. This book is an account of the events that surround Mabhouh’s assassination- told by those who were there, those who saw it all, people you should believe.
