Absolutely brilliant telling by @spyscape of one of the greatest feats in #Israel's history, in the words of those involved. Vividly brings to life my book Red Sea #Spies: The True Story of the #Mossad's Fake Diving Resort @_MaxBower @iconbooks bitly.ws/zrSF

"סגנונו של הספר קולח והוא מהווה סיכום ראוי של מאורע היסטורי, שעליו אפשר לומר כי מעטות הדוגמאות בתולדות מדינת ישראל." תודה @yossi_melman על הביקורת נהדרת! haaretz.co.il/literature/stu…
