Innovation is the lynchpin of business success. And so it is for national and international security as well. This book looks at the most highly successful innovation machine in the world; a little known classified high tech unit in Israeli Intelligence know as 8-200. Its charter is to develop technologies and solutions, customized and suited to the unique challenges of fighting terrorism and endless war. An amazing story of intrigue and thrill, it shows how ideas can be developed by any organization that leapfrog the innovations of yesterday. It is a business book wrapped in a spy thriller; a great read with a message for the rest of us business people. Written by former TIME magazine and Business 2.0, journalist Stacy Perman.
