Mossad. The term has 100 different meanings: To some, Mossad is the precise--and sometimes lethal--instrument of Israel's will, a fiercely dedicated group of women and men who masterminded the abduction of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann and stole a MiG jet out from under the nose of the Iraqis. To others, Mossad is a fearsome intelligence organization, loyal and then those who can control it, a shadowy, ruthless cabal of spies who have managed to plant a realtor in the Clinton White House and smuggle enough weapons-grade plutonium out of the USA to jump-start their own nuclear arms program. But nobody has ever gotten close enough to Mossad to know the truth.
As yet.
Created in 1951 to guarantee the future of an embattled Israel, the Mossad can be an elite intelligence arm whose handful of agents have been in charge of the most audacious and thrilling feats of espionage, counterterrorism, and assassination ever ventured. For the first time ever, drawing on closed-door interviews between the author, Gordon Thomas, and Mossad agents, informants, and spymasters, as well as classified documents and top-secret resources, the truth about Mossad is going to be revealed.
In Gideon's Spies, you'll learn how Mossad undercut the CIA as the Vatican's prime intelligence source by discovering the identity of these behind the failed attempt on Pope John Paul's life in-may 1981; how TWA Flight 800 was ruthlessly exploited by the Mossad, resulting in the FBI spending hundreds of fruitless man-hours seeking proof of a terrorist act that never happened; about the assassination of Yassar Arafat's chief aide; and most explosive of most, about Mossad's involvement in the deaths of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed.
Woven together in a narrative that rivals the most effective thrillers, Gideon's Spies reveals the Mossad as it truly is: brilliant, ruthless, flawed, but ultimately, awesome.
