Gideon's Spies : The Secret History of the Mossad (Updated Edition)

Rating:
Summary: Too many emberassing mistakes..
Review: Although this is an interesting, some may even say thrilling, book, it is plagued by so many blatant inaccuracies and factual mistakes that it is difficult to take anything written by the author too seriously. Most of the Hebrew words are either ridiculously misspelled, or translated incorrectly, which immediately takes away from the credibility of the book. In addition to factual mistakes, there are also emberassing "logical" errors. The most blatant one perhaps is when the author tells of a meeting regarding the hostage-taking in Munich in 1972. He goes on to write that the participants couldn't help but think about the daring hostage rescue in Entebbe and wonder whether a repeat performence was possible. The problem, the Entebbe raid was in 1976...enough said.

Summary: A hidden message
Review: I felt as if Mr. Gordon was trying to tell about the mossad using a style that consists of hiddem messages. I felt that he painted the Mossad as heroes but wanted us to hate them. This book is full of true stories that keeps the reader up all night, but the reader needs to read between the lines,

Summary: Needs more in depth work
Review: Although Thomas has the information to make a great book, he is plagued with some false information that makes his book less convincing. Try Victor Ostrovsky's books, they are better written and more accurate. Or if you are looking for an excellent but longer book, try Israel's Secret Wars. Overall, an okay read, but it lacks the extra stuff to make it beleivable and good.

Summary: Join me in exploring the secret world of Mossad
Review: The masters of intelligence have ever more sophisticated means of tracking all of us. Gideon's Spies is filled with evidence of how this is done and what the future holds. Not one of my prime sources has challenged any fact or statement. Those sources include two former Mossad director generals; one deputy director; one deputy director of operations and the overall supremo of Israeli intelligence. The book clearly sets out rules with researching and writing about any intelligence service. That will help all writers on the subject. All those interested in espionage, the Middle East peace process and all aspects of intelligence will also find it invaluable. The book contains full details of my own qualifications to write about the subject matter. It also tells the full truth - not what has been reported - about how Mossad bugged the Lewinsky/Clinton phone sex conversations. Read the book and then contact me.
