In its time a very controversial book by a former Mossad agent which gives great detail on how the organisation trained its agents, its role , structure and details of various covert operations. Many more liberal readers found and still find the content shocking about how an intelligence service operates but I just found it a fascinating read and was not shocked by what the book contained, maybe this is due to my greater knowledge of the subject than the average person or maybe I am just a cynic.
It still remains a fascinating read and highly recommended to anyone with an interest in Middle East politics or in covert and intelligence operations. The book is divided into three main sections with the first 100 pages covering recruitment and training, the next section the author’s disillusionment with the organisation and how he left and the final part covering several operations which the author was not involved with.
