Summary: Very interesting reading, hard to put down.
Review: This book should be required reading for anyone in the intelligence community. That the Mossad will do anything to reach its objectives should be a wake-up call. These agents are licensed to kill and won't hesitate to do so.
Rating: 
Summary: Too much space between the covers.
Review: I can only second the opinions of a couple of the other reviewers. This book is an utter waste of time. It merely serves to confuse a subject already shrouded in mystery.The book lacks footnotes. It is poorly organized. The disjointed storied are arranged neither chronologically nor thematically. If you are looking to learn more about Israel's intelligence community, a far better place to start would be "Every Spy A Prince".

Summary: Unfortunately True
Review: I cannot use my name as this would comprimise my position but having read this book, I can say that I recognize much of it as factual. Since I retired as an IDF operative for 27 years, I remember briefings on some of these "projects". Another little known fact is that many retired "personnel" come to America to retire. They remain acitve as I do in US politics (democratic party)unfortunately promoting policies in the US that will eventually lead to the downfall of the american system. From Israel, Disarmament of the public here is our prime objective, after that, the rest is easy. This book should be a wakeup call to every american. I only say this as I like the "temporary freedoms" given to me in the US, unfortunately, they are being lost under the peoples own nose !

Summary: Poorly Written, Factually Incorrect, Time Waster
Review: Of the all the books I have read on the Israeli intelligence services this one is by far the worst. Where to begin, lets start with the writing, its bad. The author has a tendency to start making a point and then meandering off for two pages before returning to his original point, its hard to believe this guy writes for a living. Lets turn to content, how do you write a CREDIBLE non-fiction book without footnotes? None of the events described in this book are sourced, except for the author's vague assurances that they were based on his extensive interviews. Give me a break! Any first year college student would get an F if he/she submitted a paper sourced like this book is. The book's cause is not helped by the fact that known fabricators such as Arie Ben-Menashe are quoted at length. The fables Ben-Menashe spins are presented as fact in this book, for sure that spells trouble. The most egregious error in this book, though, comes about when the author describes the 1972 take-over of the Israeli embassy in Bangkok. The reader is treated to an account where Israeli leaders agonize over their options thinking back to the Raid on Entebbe as one possible solution that is ultimately disregarded. Of course the raid on Entebbe took place in 1976 FOUR YEARS IN THE FUTURE. The Israelis are good, but time travel, please. What this means is the events the author described were made-up, FICTIONAlIZED, as is much of the rest of this book. In short this book is JUNK, there is no way for the serious reader to discern what is factual from what is fiction. Much better books on the topic have been written, Every Spy a Prince by Raaviv and Melmen and Israel's Secret Wars by Black to name two. If you must read Gideon's Spies go to the library, dont waste your money on this dog!

Summary: Terrorists or not, depends who writes the book
Review: this books in a way agrees to the assassination sanctioned by the regime of israel. when some counteracts, they are labeled a terrorists, to march in a sovereign state and execute someone in front of his children is heroism; for a child to through stones at a fully armed occupying force is considered terrorism. one thing though, the author is BIASED. Read it if you believe in state authorized terrorism.

Summary: This book enlightened my thinking of the Mossad.
Review: This book provides a very interesting review on the history of the Israeli Inteligence Agency (Mossad). I have never known so much about the Mossad until I read this book.
Rating: 
Summary: Its not fine, but is o.k
Review: The book is another way of saying GOTCHA. Although the writer may be signified by creditability because of his (former) position, some facts simply are not true. As an expert in the field, i recomend you to read it...........if you have nothing else to do.

Summary: How true can it be?
Review: Come off it please! Do you really think that national spy agencies would be stupid enough to reveal the way they work? This could be adapted for a movie, but, seriously, with rare documentation, how much of it is true?
Rating:
Summary: Yawn.
Review: Other readers have commented on blatant translation errors or chronological discrepancies. Given my limited knowledge of the subject matter, I cannot offer any insight here. Most salint for me, though, are the shortcomings in Thomas' writing style. I found it utterly unengaging in its blandness. The disjointed chronology and Thomas' lack of credible support for his yarns also did him no favors. Surely there are better works on the subject.
