It is not only magnificent journalism. It is writing, the kind of reportage that if Gordon Thomas were an American-born writer would earn him a Pulitzer Prize.

Gripping and compulsively readable.

Tells it like it wasand like it is.

Riveting, written with passion, it should be widely read.

Publishers Weekly

Thomas provides readers with a good sense of how the Mossad trains its agents. Fun read.

Kirkus (USA)

A fascinating look at a spy organisation that has remained off limits to most journalists. Some of the incredible episodes Gordon Thomas writes about seem like they belong in fiction and yet this is a first-rate non-fiction account.

Mary Fischer, GQ Magazine (USA)

Gordon Thomas has kept his head above the orchestrated campaigns of disinformation and produced a document about the Mossad that is as balanced and as truthful as can be arranged. This book is neither a vilification nor a condemnation of the Mossad. Thomas clearly understood Israels dilemmas when he put together this fine work.

This is essential reading for anyone concerned with the Middle East and world affairs.

Al Wasat (Saudi Arabia)

What he says is always ominousbut never judgemental. That is what makes this book one of the most trusted on the world of secret intelligence.

A compelling read, with any number of disturbing revelations.

Reveals for the first time that all too often the truth exceeds all the fantasies that Mossad has attracted.

Woven together in a narrative which rivals the very best thrillers, Gideons Spies reveals the Mossad as it truly is: ruthless, flawed, but ultimately awesome.
