Product: Mossad: Israel's Most Secret Service
No intelligence service is surrounded by more myth and mystery than Israel's Mossad. 
 
Hailed by the CIA as ‘the best in the world’, it is held in awe by its friends and feared by its foes. It boasts the most devoted, patriotic agents in the world. It was Mossad who pulled off the spectacular rescue of Israeli hostages from Entebbe and Mossad agents who pinpointed the target for Israeli bombers to destroy Iraq’s nuclear reactor. It was also Israeli agents who tracked down and captured Adolf Eichmann in Argentina, bringing him back to Israel to stand trial for his crimes during the Holocaust. Since the 1940s, Mossad has been a crucial weapon in Israel’s constant struggle to survive. 
 
Now Ronald Payne has written the first full history of Mossad. It reads like a thriller, but every word is true. Here are the heroes, the dare-devils, the masters of intelligence, and their incredible stories of kidnappings, Nazi hunts, high-tech espionage, smuggling nuclear weapons and counter-terrorist operations. 
 
Mossad: Israel’s Most Secret Service is a penetrating, gripping and suspense-filled account.
