Gideon's Spies: Mossad's Secret Warriors

In the secret world of spies and covert operations, no intelligence service continues to be as surrounded by myth and mystery as Israel's Mossad. "Gideon's Spies" reveals the extent of Mossad's involvement in an astonishing range of world events including Irangate, the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II, the Monica Lewinsky scandal, and the death of Robert Maxwell. Fully revised for the paperwork, new revelations include the mysterious events surrounding the 1992 El Al jet crash in Amsterdam, the tracking down of Kurdish rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan, and more details on Mossad's involvement in the crash that killed Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed. A fascinating look at a spy organization that has remained off limits to most journalists. Some of the incredible episodes Gordon Thomas writes about seem like they belong in fiction, and yet this is a first-rate non-fiction account.
