Mossad

Gideon's Spies: The Secret History of the Mossad - by Gordon Thomas - Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency, was founded in 1951 by Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, by combining five intelligence agencies and providing them with an initial budget of 20,000 Israeli pounds. Thomas, author of 37 books, reveals the details of such Mossad operations as the kidnapping of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann in Argentina in 1960, the Jonathan Pollard affair, a case of trafficking in the deadly plutonium 239, the assassination of Abu Jihad and other Arab terrorists, the rescue of hostages being held by hijackers at Entebbe Airport in Uganda in 1976, Mossad's part in the investigation of the downing of Pan Am Flight 103 in Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988, and its role in the investigation of the attempt on Pope John Paul's life in St. Peter's Square in 1981. Thomas meticulously documents the shadowy world of spies and covert operations; espionage buffs will love every page.

An Iraqi Jew in the Mossad : Memoir of an Israeli Intelligence Officer - by Joshua Horesh - Born in Baghdad to Jewish parents in 1920, Joshua Horesh left Iraq in 1938 when rising Nazism spread across the country. His unique background allowed him to work with British Intelligence during World War II. Horesh then served as an intelligence officer in Israel's 1948 War of Independence, and he was successful in breaking Egypt's military codes. After the war he joined the new Israeli government's intelligence service, the Mossad, working primarily in Turkey and Austria under an assumed Arab identity. This is the fascinating, behind-the-scenes story of Israel's intelligence service in the early years of the new nation's history.
