كانت المشكلة الأولى للكتاب، أنه ممنوع.. وقد تجاوزت هذا وتمكنت من جلبه من بيروت.. ولكن المشكلة التي واجهتني فيما بعد... هي سياسة النقاط الثلاث... حيث يحوي الكتاب العديد من الفراغات ذات النقاط الثلاث.. إذا كان المترجم هو من وضعها بدل بعض الكلمات الحساسة.. فهو قد خان أمانة الترجمة.. وإذا كانت دار النشر هي التي قامت بهذا.. فكان ينبغي على الأقل الإشارة إلى ذلك.. ولكن لا حياة لمن تنادي
المهم يبدو أن القارئ سيستمتع بشكل ما باستخدام ذكائه لمعرفة الكلمات المغيبة

تحياتي لسياسة النقاط الثلاث...

The subject matter of this book is intriguing and a piercing insight into how nations interact with each other on multiple levels. Mossad's methods and philosophy of defending Israel at all costs and by all means necessary are clearly exposed here. Strangely the first chapter's discussion of the death of Princess Diana, linked to Mossad because of the commercial interests she threatened, is a little out of place given that the rest of the book focuses entirely on Mossad's role in defending Israe...more

I can’t trust this book since it mostly draws on former agents, saucy speculations and other sketchy sources. However, the picture it paints of competing national spy networks is truly frightening. If a fraction of these stories are true, we’re living in a world where governments can quietly eliminate or discredit its perceived “enemies” with relative ease—from planted newspaper stories to untraceable poisons—and little accountability. Mossad, apparently, has help in most countries, payroll info...more

Writing with a schoolboy’s fascination for the murky parallel world of international espionage, Gideon’s Spies is a book full of smoke-filled rooms, institutional treachery, and ruthless men and women operating in cunning ways that would make the most hardened of criminals take pause. He describes a world where no one can be trusted, where deception is revered as an art form, and where your dance partner not only calls the tunes, but also gets to decide when it’s lights out in the ballroom.

While entertaining to read, Gideon’s Spies is by no means the serious work of history that its subtitle (A Secret History of the Mossad) might imply. Throughout, Thomas’ book suffers from the fact that the line between exactitude and exaggeration is never clear. Some of the adventures he documents, such as the farcical account of how Adolf Eichmann was nabbed off of an Argentinean street, were straightforward and convincing, but many others read like seamless fiction, all the more easily invented decades removed from the actual events. Additionally, there is no shortage of conspiracy theories in the book, from Mossad’s potential involvement in the death of Princess Diana and Dodi Al-Fayed in 1997 to a rogue CIA team’s supposed involvement in the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland in 1988. In both cases, and others, Thomas provides scant evidence that the theories are anything more than the product of vivid imagination. But poor sourcing and unchecked speculation is only part of the frustration that flows from this book.

The numerous stories of both intelligence failures and successes were sometimes difficult to follow, with Thomas preferring to use a continuous series of chronologically chaotic asides to deliver historical context to his readers. While the book does give a good accounting of the scope and range of nearly half a century of Israeli intelligence operations, it glaringly fails to convey the critical connection between the Mossad’s intelligence efforts and Israel’s national security. Instead it is a tale of exploits and mishaps that often appear only marginally related to national security interests and sometimes even counterproductive to Israel’s democratic values. If taken at face value, the extent to which disinformation is used to further political goals is troubling and bodes ill for the idea that a free and independent media can serve as a useful check on state power, whether in Jerusalem, London, or Washington.

The story of media baron and apparent Mossad informer Robert Maxwell provides the most startling example. Despite there being little direct evidence, Thomas weaves a fascinating tale of a media empire financed by fraudulent business practices and wealthy Israeli investors motivated by equal parts profit and patriotism. When Mordechai Vanunu, a Moroccan Jew that had worked in Israel’s nuclear facilities at Dimona from 1977 to 1986, emigrates from Israel and decides to tell the world about its nuclear activities, it is Maxwell that first informs Tel Aviv and then promptly runs a front page article seeking to discredit Vanunu in his London Daily Mirror when it becomes clear that Vanunu had sold his story to a rival London newspaper. Eventually, however, Maxwell and his sordid business dealings would become a public relations liability to Israel, and according to Thomas, it was at that point that Mossad made quick work of him on a Yacht off the coast of the Canary Islands, making his death appear to be a suicide.

In another story of the expendability of the individual for the greater organizational good, Thomas writes about the case of Ismail Sowan, a Palestinian first recruited by the Mossad as a teenager in the West Bank because of his unusually sympathetic views towards Israel. It was Sowan’s desire to go to college that led him to agree to accept Mossad’s offer, but it was the idealistic notion that he would be furthering peace efforts between the two peoples that really excited him. After first working as a diplomatic courier in Europe, Sowan was told to go to Lebanon and join the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). His successful infiltration of the group and eventual assignment at its London headquarters provided Tel Aviv with a valuable source of reportage about the PLO’s illicit activities to promote terror around the world. But when a series of counterfeit blank British passports destined for the Israeli embassy turned up in a phone booth and the murder of a prominent Palestinian political cartoonist went awry, Israel needed a way to shore up its relationship with London. Implicating Sowan in the murder and then leading British authorities to his supposed stash of arms and explosives worked to perfection. Despite Sowan’s protestations that he was working with the very organization that had set him up and handed him over to UK authorities, he was sentenced to 18 years in prison.

The most troubling aspect of Gideon’s Spies, however, may be Thomas’ account of numerous so-called sayanim, or “volunteer Jewish helpers” in locales around the world. Some of them, he notes, do no more than buy local clothing to be sent to Israel so that Mossad agents will have authentic clothing when working under deep cover. In other instances, however, he notes that some of these volunteers are connected to the U.S. media and instructed to plant stories with false information. His claim that the sayanim represent “the historical cohesiveness of the world Jewish community” and that “regardless of allegiance to his or her country… [these volunteers] recognize a greater loyalty: the mystical one to Israel” (pg. 54), is a reckless one. Such a characterization perpetuates the anti-Semitic myth of Jewish dual-loyalty. Individuals of any nationality may feel strong ties to childhood, ancestral, or cultural homelands, but to suggest that members of the Jewish diaspora play such a prominent role in Israeli intelligence gathering activities risks inciting paranoia and giving credence to a harmful canard.

The value of this book lies in its ability to convey the potential for abuse when public policy is crafted without regard to the role of the public. While the scope for debate on individual actions is necessarily limited, the goals and macro-strategies of intelligence gathering must be the product of robust democratic dialogue and its implementation should never be completely obscured from the public view. Intelligence organizations should never do the bidding of individual politicians, nor should they operate without impunity when laws are broken. Doing so risks creating an extralegal arm of state power and calls into question the very basis of democratic governance. It also provides a poignant reminder that in an open society privacy is the exception to the rule and not the other way around.

GIDEON'S SPIES is a comprehensive, and balanced picture of Mossad. The author begins with a plunge into the circumstances revolving around the death of Princess Diane. He paints an intricate picture of facts, and faux paus that clearly complicated the situation then and now. It is an interesting beginning to a book of this nature. However, it does demand the reader's attention, therefore, I believe it serves the purpose well.

This is an excellent book. The stories are great and fun to read. My problem with the book is that 415 pages in, the author makes two blatant mistakes that he represents as facts. The author establishes a CIA/MOB connection and lists "The Gotti Family" as one of the benefactors along with the Gambino and Columbo crime families. There is actually no such thing as "the Gotti Family" as John Gotti was a captain and eventual boss of the Gambino Family. On the very next page, the author mentions a su...more

The author has a tendency to start making a point and then meandering off for two pages before returning to his original point, its hard to believe this guy writes for a living. Lets turn to content, how do you write a CREDIBLE non-fiction book without footnotes? None of the events described in this book are sourced, except for the author's vague assurances that they were based on his extensive interviews. Give me a break! Any first year college student would get an F if he/she submitted a paper sourced like this book is. The book's cause is not helped by the fact that known fabricators such as Arie Ben-Menashe are quoted at length. The fables Ben-Menashe spins are presented as fact in this book, for sure that spells trouble. The most egregious error in this book, though, comes about when the author describes the 1972 take-over of the Israeli embassy in Bangkok. The reader is treated to an account where Israeli leaders agonize over their options thinking back to the Raid on Entebbe as one possible solution that is ultimately disregarded. Of course the raid on Entebbe took place in 1976 FOUR YEARS IN THE FUTURE. The Israelis are good, but time travel, please.

I have a hard time believing that Osama Bin Laden has close relationships with the Chinese given that they are now a secular consumerist society- something which Bin Laden is against. Yet, according to the book, he visited Beijing in 2005?!

The Mossad supposedly knew that a truck bomb was going to be used against the marines in Lebanon, but didn't tell them. The Israeli Prime Minister (Shamir) supposedly gave Pollard's spy material to the Russians because he hated America. The Mossad supposedly didn't lift a finger to save William Buckley, who was tortured and killed in Lebanon. The famous Mr. Maxwell, who looted his employee's pension funds, supposedly gave those funds to the Mossad.

I became suspicious when I saw listed on his acknowledgments page the contact name Barry Chamish. Barry is well known for his "creative" conspiracy theories. And for writing about UFO sightings in Israel.

The author credits the North Koreans with having SSN-6 nuclear submarines. No, they have diesel submarines. They have SSN-6 missiles. Later he credits the Israeli navy of having nuclear submarines---again, wrong. They have diesel submarines built by Germany.

The final straws were when the author writes of an Israeli helicopter that uses "silent mode" to enter enemy territory.I can assure you that is laughable, and I could no longer take the book seriously after that. A few pages later he references Pope Air Force Base in Georgia. A simple internet search would show you that Pope Air Force Base is not located in Georgia, but North Carolina.

Thomas is a conspiracy theorist who relies on innuendo and rumor to justify mindless theories and meaningless concepts, all in lieu of research and facts to tell what is an incredible story on its own. From little things, like referring to the Echelon surveillance system operated by the National Security Agency as monitoring every conversation between every individual virtually anywhere in the world (Echelon monitors electronic conversations, not every possible conversation) to secondhand references to the late William Casey, the then-director of the CIA, as suggesting that Mossad supplied arms to Hezbollah in the early 1980's when Israel invaded Lebanon, Thomas studiously avoids anything approaching professionalism or reasoned analysis.(less)

Gordon Thomas may be right to boast about what he claims are the unprecendented number and range of interviews that he conducted with high-ranking officials from Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service. Yet while the fruits of those interviews may be of interest in a “spy novel” sense, Thomas’ presentation of their sum mostly does not lead to a greater understanding of Israeil policy, or much of anything else. Dramatic and intriguing they may be, but tales of Mossad officials cavorting around t...more
