"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 the world, kidnapping former Nazis and recruiting operatives in French hotels, are not of much interest in any larger sense. There are hints of items of real interest here, that would in fact tell us something about Israeli machinations - such as collaboration with the apartheid regime of South Africa, or very scant references to arming South American dictators - though Thomas' establishment-friendly lens prevents him from exploring these topics in any depth. One also notes a regrettable tendency to characterize any Israel foreign policy or intelligence misdeeds as stemming entirely from factors internal to Israel, thus ignoring the fundamental US role."
"baca versi bahasa. tertarik buku ini karena nama penerjemahnya (hi james!). cerita dan gaya berceritanya sendiri agak bikin capek karena banyaknya tokoh dan kejadian yang berkaitan dalam satu judul tetapi terjemahannya bagus. saya curiga james yang lemari-bacaan-bagusnya terisi buku2 yang -mendengar judulnya saja saya tak pernah- dengan sukarela menerjemahkan juga beberapa istilah ibrani ke dalam bahasa untuk memudahkan pembaca."
