In the secret world of spies and covert operations, no other intelligence service continues to be surrounded by myth and mystery as does the Mossad. Created in 1951 to ensure the future of an embattled Israel, Mossad is responsible for the most audacious and thrilling feats of espionage, counterterrorism, and assassination. To some, Mossad is the precise and at times lethal instrument of Israel's will, a fiercely dedicated group of men and women. To others, Mossad is a fearsome intelligence organization loyal only to those who can control it. Gideon's Spies documents the Mossad's deepest secrets from the end of the Cold War to the present day. Learn how the Mossad undercut the CIA's position as the Vatican's prime intelligence source, how TWA Flight 800 was ruthlessly exploited by the Mossad—and most explosive of all, Mossad's involvement in the deaths of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayad.
