Description
Red Sea Spies: The True Story Behind the Netflix Film. In 1980s Sudan, a luxury holiday resort opened on the coast, attracting guests from around the world. What began as a normal tourist destination turned into a front for covert operations by the Mossad, Israel's secret service. Undercover spies worked among the staff, carrying out a top-secret mission that would change thousands of lives. A cryptic message pleading for help sparked an operation to evacuate Ethiopian Jews from refugee camps and spirit them to Israel. Written in collaboration with operatives involved, this book is the complete, never-before-heard account of a daring and often hazardous operation. With an afterword from the commander who went on to become the head of the Mossad, Red Sea Spies offers a gripping tale that's part thriller, part dark comedy. A meticulous and thrilling account, Red Sea Spies sheds light on a remarkable story that has been largely overlooked by Hollywood.
