Gideon's Spies

The Secret History of the Mossad

De: Gordon Thomas

Narrado por: Theodore Bikel

In the secret world of spies and covert operations, no other intelligence service continues to be surrounded by myth and mystery as does the Mossad. Created in 1951 to ensure the future of an embattled Israel, Mossad is responsible for the most audacious and thrilling feats of espionage, counterterrorism, and assassination. To some, Mossad is the precise and at times lethal instrument of Israel's will, a fiercely dedicated group of men and women: an elite intelligence arm. To others, Mossad is a fearsome intelligence organization loyal only to those who can control it: a shadowy ruthless cabal of spies. But no one has ever gotten close enough to Mossad to know the truth. Until now.

Gideon's Spies documents the Mossad's deepest secrets from the end of the Cold War to the present day. You'll learn how the Mossad undercut the CIA's position as the Vatican's prime intelligence source, how TWA Flight 800 was ruthlessly exploited by the Mossad, and most explosive of all, Mossad's involvement in the deaths of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayad. Gideon's Spies reveals the Mossad as it truly is: brilliant, ruthless, flawed, but ultimately awesome.

A well-balanced treatment of the subject matter. The author masterfully paces the narrative. He includes enough detail to be informative even to a listener with prior knowledge of the subject matter while still moving the narrative forward. The narrator is excellently-suited to the subject matter, and his delivery is smooth.

Contains less than half the passages from the actual book.

Like the heading says. If you are really interested in this book. Better to buy the physical version. The audiobook has a lot of passages missing from it.
