1967-1969. Based on the true story of how Israel’s Mossad agents stole three tonnes of Mirage fighter drawings following General de Gaulle’s disastrous ban on the supply of these aircraft that were vital to Israel’s defence.
Wow, this was good. The sort of book that comes with sound effects and sweeping, orchestral music right in my head (although I can’t do an Israeli accent and so my characters ended up sounding very odd). To believe that this is based on true events is difficult, but it adds that much more poignancy to this masterfully-penned, suspenseful, exciting, brilliant thrill. very, very enjoyable.
