In the secret world of spies and covert operations, no other intelligence service continues to be surrounded by myth and mystery, or commands respect and fear like Israel's Mossad. The Mossad's deepest secrets are revealed in "Gideon's Spies", and this fifth edition is completely updated with new information including the Mossad hospital raid that eventually uncovered sleeper cells in Britain, the assassination of the world's second most wanted terrorist, the destruction of a newly-discovered nuclear facility in Syria, the intricate relationship between Israeli intelligence and the Bush administration's war on terror, and why one former Mossad chief says, 'we are looking down the barrel of World War III unless the world wakes up'.
