About the book: 2000 / The departure of former Mossad officer Viktor Ostrovsky tore the veil of secrecy from one of the most mysterious secret services in the world and exposed her dubious and cruel methods. During the reign of Ehud Barak, there was a public debate in Israel about the Mossad's right to use physical violence during investigations. But in the past, the Mossad used violence without any hesitation, as evidenced by the numerous assassination attempts described by Ostrovsky. Viktor Ostrovsky shows methods of recruiting and training Israeli intelligence officers. He also explains many of the circumstances surrounding the activities of this secret service, in particular, the destruction of the Iraqi nuclear reactor in 1981 and operations related to the release of hostages, the fight against terrorists or the support of Jews around the world. Ostrovsky argues that in the course of its history, the Mossad has become a state within a state for which the life of an individual has no meaning..
