It has been involved in some of the most high-profile covert operations in history, from the capture of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann to the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists. Despite its reputation as a secretive organization, the Mossad has captured the imagination of people all over the world. This book takes a comprehensive look at the Mossad, from its origins in the early days of Israel's intelligence community to its current operations and challenges. It explores the agency's successes and failures, its methods and techniques, and its role in shaping Israel's security policy. The Mossad has always been shrouded in mystery, and much of what it does is still unknown to the public. But through extensive research and interviews with former Mossad agents, this book provides a unique glimpse into the inner workings of one of the world's most powerful intelligence agencies. Since its inception in 1949, the Mossad has been credited with incredible rescues, violent assassinations, and the clever sabotage of enemy operations. Whether nefarious or essential, both critics and supporters of Mossad recognize that its estimated 1,200 employees have the unique ability to adapt to uncertain and hostile circumstances, accomplish large-scale objectives with limited resources, and persevere when seemingly hopelessly outnumbered.
