Spies Against Armageddon -- Inside Israel's Secret Wars: Updated & Revised

By Dan Raviv and Yossi Melman

In a prologue, 25 action-packed chapters, and detailed endnotes, SPIES AGAINST ARMAGEDDON: INSIDE ISRAEL'S SECRET WARS covers more ground than any other book about modern-day Israel. It is filled with colorful characters, who risk their lives and reputations in the secret service of their nation. Fully updated for 2014, in light of upheavals in the Middle East including Syria's civil war, coups in Egypt, nuclear talks with Iran, and Israel's negotiations with the Palestinians, this history of the Mossad and the other espionage and security agencies of Israel spotlights unique people who have contributed to the success and survival of the Jewish state. The authors had a national best seller in 1990, Every Spy a Prince: The Complete History of Israel's Intelligence Community, and also wrote about U.S.-Israeli relations in Friends In Deed. Dan Raviv is a CBS News correspondent currently based in Washington, and Yossi Melman is an award-winning Israeli journalist based in Tel Aviv. They have a global reputation for being fair and balanced, without exaggeration about Israel's covert achievements -- and some flaws -- in the defense of a nation that always sees itself as embattled.
