Description
Israel's Secret Wars: A Comprehensive History of Israel's Intelligence Services. This detailed and extensively researched history explores the development of Israel's intelligence services from their origins in the 1930s, through five wars, to the present day. The authors examine previously unexamined operations and episodes, including the beginnings of the Israeli-U.S. intelligence relationship and the fateful message that initiated the Yom Kippur war. Using contemporary reports, memoranda, and private diaries, the book sheds light on often stormy links between spymasters and politicians in key events such as the Entebbe raid, Irangate, and the Palestinian intifada. With a focus on historical context, this work promises to become the standard reference on Israeli intelligence for years to come. With 634 pages of comprehensive information, Israel's Secret Wars is an essential read for anyone interested in the complex world of espionage and international relations.
