A documentary-style essay on the history of Israel, its army, and intelligence agencies through the eyes of an Israeli officer. Drawing on professional observations, declassified intelligence case studies, and open-source intelligence (OSINT), the author offers readers a unique insight into the workings of key agencies—the Mossad, the Shin Bet, and the Israeli army's intelligence agency, Aman. He goes beyond a dry presentation of facts—the book is filled with reflections on the cost of security, civic responsibility, the inner workings of the intelligence community, and the national traumas of Israelis.

You will learn about legendary operations, high-profile failures, and spy cases that shaped the fate of the country, and see how the past intertwines with the present, including the tragic events of October 7, 2023, and the Iran-Israel conflict. Combining historical accuracy and vivid language, the book addresses pressing issues—from the ethics of special operations to the political mistakes that cost the country dearly.

There are no myths here—only the truth, told in living language, with the irony and pain of an eyewitness.

The author does not claim to know state secrets, but his reflections, based on a combination of personal experience and meticulous research, allow us to penetrate the essence of many events previously overlooked.
