Overview

"I was six months into my training as a Mossad agent. When I'd been arrested by narcs a few days before, I thought I'd stumbled into some sort of random snafu - an embarrassing screw-up that might get me labeled a druggie and kicked out of my training program. Now I realized this was my training program. The cell, the interrogation, this seaside briefing - they were all part of a test to see if I could maintain my cover under duress."

Overview

"I was six months into my training as a Mossad agent. When I'd been arrested by narcs a few days before, I thought I'd stumbled into some sort of random snafu - an embarrassing screw-up that might get me labeled a druggie and kicked out of my training program. Now I realized this was my training program. The cell, the interrogation, this seaside briefing - they were all part of a test to see if I could maintain my cover under duress."

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

It's not surprising for an ex-spy to have an uncomplicated, us-them worldview. Accordingly, Ross, former member of the Israeli spy agency, Mossad, allows for little nuance in this memoir, which maintains a nearly colonialist view of the Muslim world, positing Israel as "a microcosm of the civilized world's struggle against a murderous ideology" and drawing unsupported parallels between Palestinian nationalist Islamism and al-Qaeda's world-spanning nihilism. Canadian-born Ross is clearly proud of his service to his adopted homeland and accepts Israel's view of its place in the Middle East. He discusses Arab torture without mention of its Israeli (or Western) counterpart and claims Israel has "given" the Palestinians a state, though Israel's occupation of Palestinian lands remains intact. When describing his operations, Ross's tone is engaging, and details of spycraft remind readers that real spies don't live in movies-"everyone," for instance, "talks when tortured." Readers looking for such tales will be better served than those looking for a cogent analysis of the region. (Sept.)

    Good Read

    Not as exciting as James Bond because Hollywood glamourizes law enforcement and espionage to make money whereas the true professionals do it to save lives. Very detailed and intriguing leading to an interesting read.
