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.
