really liked it

Mossad is a fast paced, thrilling work of non-fiction that gives the reader a glance into the seemingly impenetrable, censored world of one the most powerful secret service agencies. It is divided into 22 distinct chapters, covering several operations from the kidnapping and execution of the Nazi - Adolf Eichmann to the Israel sponsored emigration of Ethiopian Jews. A must read for anyone interested in the world of espionage - the book not only covers the greatest successes of the agency, but also delves into its failures (although in a slightly rushed and superficial manner). My only complaints about the book are that at times the authors get a little too particular with the physical descriptions of the numerous characters, as well as with the conversations that took place, blurring the lines between fiction and non fiction as I'm not sure how well the narrators could recall events that occurred decades ago. Lastly, the ending was a little too abrupt for my taste, and I would have liked a little more insight into the Iran scenario.
