The Israeli Institute for Intelligence and Special Services the Mossad is pobably the best known of the world's intelligence services one of the most sespected and certainly one of the most intriguing. However despite its fame the available literature other than Hebrew is limited and scattered amongst a variety of subject areas because the tentacles of the Mossad are similarly varied. The aim of this volume is to document the range of English language material available on ÂÂf Mossad from its pre-official origins in Europe during the Second World War to Âe present period of the Middle East peace process. The organization had its origins in the aftermath of the Holocaust being the agency responsible for organizing the illegal Jewish immigration into Palestine before becoming officially constituted in 1951. Since its formation the Mossad has been intimately involved in each of the significant events in Israel's history including actions against its Arab neighbors the hunting of wanted Nazis spectacular actions such as the raid on Entebbe to free the hostages counter-terrorist activities and high technology espionage against friend and foe alike. This bibliography will be of interest to researchers covering intelligence activities and to students scholars and librarians interested in the history of Israel and its relations with its Arab neighbors. The early material on the Mossad will also be of special concern to students of the Holocaust and its aftermath. . Language: English
