The Women's Mission of Mossad. The Most Dangerous and Heroic Operations of Female Employees of the Israeli Secret Service

The tumultuous history of Israel has produced a whole series of bold, strong, and self-confident women. Many of them joined the ranks of Mossad, or military intelligence, while others volunteered for dangerous missions and even planned them themselves, without waiting for instructions or training. Most of them were "warriors" of Mossad, that is, operatives, while the others were employees in various positions, and they are no less deserving of being considered part of this unique community. Many paid a high price for their choice: torture and imprisonment in case of arrest, death sentences, and the danger of escape… And at the same time — constant agonizing loneliness: both in operations and in personal life, as these amazons sacrificed their dreams of family and children for their calling. The book by authoritative Israeli authors highlights the true role of women in the secret operations of Israeli intelligence and is based on a vast amount of materials — books, documents, newspaper publications, articles, and interviews, including with key figures in the world of intelligence. Using data from strictly classified sources, both in Hebrew and English, Nisim Mishal and Michael Bar-Zohar separate genuine information from myths and speculations, making this book unique and interesting to a wide audience of readers interested in the past and present of Israel and Mossad. Previously, the book was published under the title "The Amazons of Mossad. Women in Israeli Intelligence".
