Reddit reviews Gideon's Spies: The Secret History of the Mossad

Okay

Many military trained state-run intelligence muscle were like that. Look up the latest copy of Gideon's Spies to read the reported shit that went on between Israeli Mossad and People's Republic of China's Ministry of State Security during the 2000s economic assistance to African nations. What they did to each other was extremely fucked up (i.e. blow up most of an occupied hotel to kill one agent, toss an opposite agency agent alive to the crocodiles in response to that incident). Most agencies kind of do that shit and, in a way, keep each other in check because of it.

No of course it doesn't, there's no concrete proof so any mention of it on the wikipedia page will be edited out. It was however written about in this book, as flawed as it is:

That's kind of the point of Mossad, even if everyone knows they are behind something it can seldom be proven. But when Syrian or Iranian state scientists die abroad suspiciously, I'm willing to bet on Mossad being involved.

Fantastic book on the Mossad. Shin Bet is showcased a bit as well. Gives an outsider a good idea of just how cutthroat the agency is.

There was a book about the E. German Stasi that came out sometime in the 1990's, but I cannot remember the title for the life of me.

I traveled to Israel earlier this year, loved the cities, loved the people. I've always thought that most anti-zionism was deep down anti-semitism. When we were getting ready to leave Tel Aviv, I bought this book in the library:

It's a fascinating read, the good and the bad of Mossad, especially the part where it seems to say Mossad worked with China to steal nuclear secrets from Los Alamos. All nations spy on their friends as well as their enemies.

EDIT: not library, but bookstore
