A major work of investigation, Gideon's Spies: Mossad's Secret Warriors reveals the extent of the Israeli intelligence service's involvement in an astonishing range of world events.
In the secret world of spies and covert operations, no intelligence service continues to be as surrounded by myth and mystery as Israel's Mossad. Its influence reaches far, including events as globally-important as Irangate, the attempted assisination of Pope John Paul II, the Monica Lewinsky scandal and the death of Robert Maxwell.
Fully revised for this edition, new revelations include the mysterious events surrounding the 1992 El Al jet crash in Amsterdam, the tracking down of Kurdish rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan, and more details on Mossad's involvement in the crash which killed Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed.
