Tras años de incertidumbre sobre la verdadera identidad del Mossad, y tras haberse divulgado distintas hipótesis sobre actividades, Gordon Thomas se ha acercado lo suficiente a esta entidad para, finalmente, definirla. Creado en 1951 para asegurar el futuro de un Israel asediado, el Mossad es una organización de inteligencia cuyos agentes fueron responsables de los hechos de espionaje, contraterroristmo y asesinato más audaces e impactantes jamás cometidos. No mundo da espionagem, nenhuma outra organização continua rodeada de tanto mistério e secretismo como a Mossad. O autor deste livro, Gordon Thomas revela-nos detalhes de várias operações levadas a cabo por esta organização, dentro e fora das fronteiras de Israel. Pela primeira vez na história da Mossad, foi permitido a um jornalista entrevistar centenas de agentes e ter acesso a informação que terá levado a conclusões surpreendentes, e que corroboram o envolvimento da Mossad em acontecimentos tão marcantes e mediáticos, como o atentado ao Papa João Paulo II, em 1982, a queda do avião da Pan Am, em Lockerbie, em 1988, e o acidente que vitimou a princesa Diana e Dodi Al-Fayed, em 1997, entre outros. Estes agentes são os protagonistas dos mais audaciosos actos de espionagem e contraterrorismo perpetrados no mundo. In the world of smoke and mirrors that the world intelligence services operate in, Mossad are considered to be the best in terms of the quality and quantity of intelligence that they collect. AS well as that the missions that they undertake are audacious, brave and just a little bit foolhardy. In this book, Thomas has brought together details of those missions and operations that Mossad has either undertaken, or has played a part in. Through his extensive contacts in a variety of intelligence services he has attempted to fill in the gaps in the public record of events or we were not even aware of in most cases. He covers events such as 9/11, the death of Diana, the horrendous rendition flights that the CIA undertook, the obliteration of the Syrian nuclear facility and lots more. Whilst a lot of this was interesting, the book did drag. It is nearly 700 pages of closely typed text, and the mass os facts and detail does get overwhelming at times. With all of these types of books, you have to take them with a little salt, as I cannot believe every thing in here is true. But it does show Mossad as very proficient and brutal. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Gideon's Spies reveals that, all too often, the truth exceeds all the fantasies about the Mossad. Revised and updated for 2015, this new edition includes: Mossad's secret meeting in 2013 with Saudi Arabia's intelligence chief to plan for Israel to use Saudi to attack Iran should the Geneva discussion fail to be honored by Iran. The attack on Iraq's nuclear reactor that will be the flight path to an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. Mossad's new cyber-war unit preparing to launch its own pre-emptive strike. Why Mossad's former director, Meir Dagan, has spoken out against an attack on Iran. Mossad agents who operate in the 'Dark Side' of the Internet to track terrorists. Mossad's drone and its first killing. Mossad's role in the defense of Israel's Embassy in Cairo during the Arab Spring. An introduction to Mossad's new director, Tamir Pardo. These and other stunning details combine to give Gideon's Spies the sense of urgency and relevance that is characteristic of truly engrossing nonfiction"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
