The Architect of Espionage: The Man Who Built Israel's Mossad Into the World's Boldest Intelligence Force - Hardcover
by Samuel M. Katz (Author)
From a New York Times bestselling author and an expert on Middle Eastern conflict comes a riveting biography of Meir Dagan, the legendary Mossad director who transformed Israel's intelligence service into a global powerhouse of espionage and counterterrorism--"required reading for those wishing to understand the landscape of the modern Middle East" (Jack Carr, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Cry Havoc).
Meir Dagan: a visionary covert warfare veteran who revolutionized the art of special operations and espionage. Born in the shadows of the Holocaust, Dagan led a life that personified the modern history of the Jewish people and the State of Israel. His tenure as the head of the Mossad marked a transformative era in Israel's history, reshaping the agency into a formidable global force. Dagan spent thirty-two years in uniform, and under his eight-year leadership, Mossad orchestrated a series of high-stakes missions, including targeted assassinations, clandestine attempts to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear power, and the veiled expansion of Israel's collaborations with members of the global intelligence fraternity, notably the CIA. Drawing on unprecedented access to Dagan's closest confidants, comrades, and contemporaries, Samuel Katz brings to life the portrait of a spymaster whose influence bolstered Israel's security but also altered the geopolitical dynamics of the Middle East. An essential read for anyone captivated by espionage thrillers, historical biographies, or profiles of battlefield courage, The Architect of Espionage provides an insightful glimpse into the mind of one of the most influential spymasters of our era.Samuel M.
