Synopsis
Mossad is thought by many to be one of the most powerful intelligence agencies in the world. Halevy, a Mossad officer since 1961 and its chief 1998-2002, provides an unprecedented portrait of the Middle East crisis. Halevy was privy to many of the negotiations that determined the progress of the struggle for peace during the years when the threat of Islamic terror became increasingly powerful. He writes candidly about the workings of the Mossad, the prime ministers he served under, and the other major players on the international stage: Arafat, Saddam Hussein, Hafiz al-Assad, Gadhafi, Bill Clinton, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush. He describes running an intelligence agency in a time when heads of state are using intelligence to protect their nations while, at the same time, acting to protect themselves politically. Most important, he writes about how the world might achieve peace in the face of the growing threat from Islamic terrorist organizations.--From publisher description. This memoir by the former director of Israel's intelligence agency, Mossad, presents new insights into two decades of Middle East history and politics, along with the expected tales of intelligence gathering and missions gone wrong. Efraim Halevy's book underscores the unique and critical role that Mossad plays in meeting and negotiating with Israel's neighbors in the absence of formal diplomatic relations, and shows how these opportunities for candid discussion and argument (and intelligence sharing) have defused several hot situations, noting the participation of Jordan in aiding progress. Halevy also discusses how Mossad helps shape Israeli policies, including its not-always-smooth relations with the U.S.. Halevy's Mossad pushed for the decision to isolate Arafat in the years prior to his death, and he notes the close collaboration between George W. Bush and Ariel Sharon. But he also expresses concern about the roadmap for peace and where it will lead. Halevy's assessment of the current status and prospects for the future show him to be both a hardliner and a realist open to ideas that can bring security to the nation he served.

Industry reviews
"By filtering events through the lens of the spymaster, Mr. Halevy gives a fresh twist to the story of the period he focuses on: the thirteen years between the invasion of Kuwait in 1990 and the American invasion of Iraq in 2003." (04/01/2006)
