The Mossad, Israel's version of the CIA, is among the world's top
intelligence agencies. Renowned both for its brilliance and its
ruthlessness, the organization occupies a distinctive position in
the arena of global covert operations. This book describes the
clandestine missions that were defining moments in the evolution of
the Mossad, including its pursuit of the Black September terrorists
who murdered Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympic Games, its
acquisition on the high seas of yellowcake uranium for Israel's
undeclared nuclear weapons program, and its role in bringing to
justice Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann. The agency's more
questionable deeds are also covered, among them the assassination
of civilian scientists associated with Iraq's nuclear energy
program and the abduction of Isreali citizen Mordechai Vanunu who,
like Edward Snowden, has been variously depicted as a principled
whistleblower and an unscrupulous traitor. Taken together, the
missions discussed herein illustrate the Mossad's character,
creativity and courage, while acknowledging the problematical moral
dimensions of its operations.
