I have recommended this read over and over again to friends and colleagues who treasure history and want to understand secret intelligence agencies. You will be fascinated by Gideon's Spies.

A very intriguing and interesting book about the founding and operation of Missed of the greatest Intel leave dies in the world. Thomas did and excellent job collecting stories and first hand info reform the pkayers. I look forward to his book on MI5 MI6

Still in the process of reading but wow is it informative and a great book! You can see why the nation of Israel is so dependent on the Mossad because their very existence depends on their effectiveness. A nation that is smaller than most states in the U.S. who is surrounded by nations that hate them and think they have no right to exist needs to have a top notch intelligence service which they most assuredly have. They truly are a marvel and their intelligence agency is second to none. They will stop at nothing to accomplish what needs to get done is very evident from the first part of the book I have read. I sure would not want to be on their bad side or have a target on my back with them closing in on me. I would make sure I have my affairs set and my life insurance paid up and probably not see them coming. Some of the stories I have read are chilling indeed. But I am in the place in the book that some of the former Mossad agents have claimed that corruption has infiltrated the Mossad and there are concerns that they have slipped in their effectiveness according to some. It will be interesting to see what the book further states as I continue reading. The history of the Mossad which I have been reading about was so interesting and it would truly be a sad state of affairs if some of the claims being made are true. Regardless though, the Mossad is definitely someone to be reckoned with!

Fascinating (and long - 800 pages) read. Does not glorify, details failures as well as successes, probably the best NF book I've read in the last 10 years (and I read a lot), highly recommended, I will now buy some of his other works and hope they are as good as this.

Stunning researched, detailed, but incredibly repetitive and very badly organized. Time line failure. Disorenting. About 70% overlap with his other work.

This is a fabulous book on Mossad. The writings contains enormous information and written in an easy to understand and knowledgeable way. Highly recommended.

Found it to be most interesting to read about the inner workings of the intelligence services of Israel and other countries. The successes and failures were both amazing.
