Mossad

The Greatest Missions of the Israeli Secret Service

By: Michael Bar-Zohar, Nissim Mishal

Narrated by: Benjamin Isaac

The Mossad is widely recognized today as the best intelligence service in the world. It is also the most enigmatic, shrouded in secrecy. In Mossad, authors MichaelBar-Zohar and Nissim Mishal take us behind the closed curtain with riveting, eye-opening, boots-on-the-ground accounts of the most dangerous, most crucial missions in the agency's 60-year history. These are real Mission: Impossible true stories brimming with high-octane action - from the breathtaking capture of Nazi executioner Adolf Eichmann to the recent elimination of key Iranian nuclear scientists.

Anyone who is fascinated by the world of international espionage, intelligence, and covert black-ops warfare will find Mossad electrifying.

Compelling, thought provoking series of stories.

Without realizing the impact of Mossad in the world of intelligence, each story provided a glimpse into the incredible world of Israeli retaliation methods.

Great flow !!

Would you consider the audio edition of Mossad to be better than the print version?

Great job by Benjamin Isaac to keep emotions, thrill and the excitement at the optimum level.

Have you listened to any of Benjamin Isaac’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This was the first one I listened from Benjamin Isaac

What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?

The sequence was great.

Any additional comments?

I thought I won't need any other book on Mossad after reading Gideon Spies. However I was surprisingly wrong. The authors did a great job in story telling.

great espionage book

the book tells real storys from the mosad short history. the book is a colecction of storys from different dacades, which makes it more appealing. highly recommended for james bond fans.

Really captivating book

If you love, spy stories, even better real life spy stories – this is the book for you. Some of the stories are just incredible. Fantastic book to read.

Exciting story, great reader, one nit

Loved hearing this book. Hugely entertaining content and (contrary to what someone else wrote) the reader had a pleasing voice that I looked forward to hearing. One nit: When telling the story of Munir Redfa, the Iraqi pilot persuaded to bring a Mig-21 to Israel, they completely omitted the fact that it was a "honey trap" operation in which the pilot was sexually seduced. The famous story was made into a movie called "Steal the Sky" starring Mariel Hemingway and Ben Cross.

Feels embellished and voyueristic

I wasn't sure if I'd like this book when I got it in a 2-for-1 sale. It is not bad, but feels too much like hero worship for my taste. Reminded me of Stephen Ambrose in that regard.

INCREDIBLE STORIES- INCREDIBLE PEOPLE.

This book gives and every person a chance to learn just how AMAZING the people of Israel are. And how their strength, devoutness, and love of Country have given this world the INCREDIBLE counter-terrorism/intelligence agency that is MOSSAD. JAMES BOND HAS NOTHING ON These stories- Of TRUE MISSIONS WITH REAL PEOPLE! They are known as 'God's People' for a Reason. Buy It, Read it, listen to it.

Interesting reading

This is the only book I have read about the Mossad. It was thrilling and gave a good over view of some of the operations the secret agency has chosen to declassify (?)
Obviously, the authors are well connected I came away both angry and impressed. Overall, an interesting story of will and power.

Extraordinary events well described. Poor reading.

What did you like best about this story?

Meticulously detailed description of real-world James Bond events.

What didn’t you like about Benjamin Isaac’s performance?

Dreary monotone

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not quite put tough to put down.

Any additional comments?

Narrator sounds better, if a little breathless, at 1.25x running speed.

keep me on interested

every story was well told and the narrator did an excellent job. I highly recommend
