At the age of eighteen, Aaron Cohen left Beverly Hills to prove
himself in the crucible of the armed forces. He was determined to
be a part of Israel's most elite security cadre, akin to the
American Green Berets and Navy SEALs. After fifteen months of
grueling training designed to break down each individual man and to
rebuild him as a warrior, Cohen was offered the only post a
non-Israeli can hold in the special forces. In 1996 he joined a
top-secret, highly controversial unit that dispatches operatives
disguised as Arabs into the Palestinian-controlled West Bank to
abduct terrorist leaders and bring them to Israel for interrogation
and trial.
Between 1996 and 1998, Aaron Cohen would learn Hebrew and
Arabic; become an expert in urban counterterror warfare, the
martial art of Krav Maga, and undercover operations; and
participate in dozens of life-or-death missions. He would
infiltrate a Hamas wedding to seize a wanted terrorist and pose as
an American journalist to set a trap for one of the financiers
behind the Dizengoff Massacre, taking him down in a brutal,
hand-to-hand struggle. A propulsive, gripping read, Cohen's story
is a rare, fly-on-the-wall view into the shadowy world of "black
ops" that redefines invincible strength, true danger, and
inviolable security.
