Every Spy A Prince: The Complete History of Israel’s Intelligence Community
On the New York Times Best Seller list for 12 weeks (August 12-October 28, 1990) “This is a comprehensive history of Israel’s security establishment. The authors celebrate successes like Eichmann’s capture, but far more interestingly, they do not shy away from examining the security services’ failures... the book is riveting because Israel’s early intelligence feats still resonate in today’s world... the book makes valuable reading for anyone interested in Israel’s world-wide plans to deal with matters affecting its security.” — Wall Street Journal “The authors... obviously found enough talkative sources... to provide them with the remarkable case histories they describe ...

Comic Wars
Embarrassed billionaires tried to keep a lid on this story, but it cried out to be told: how America's greatest comic-book company was driven to the brink of insolvency by warring tycoons and rescued from the abyss by two obscure but wily entrepreneurs. In the late 1980s, financier Ronald Perelman, worth billions and riding high after his hostile takeover of the cosmetics firm Revlon, bought Marvel Entertainment-legendary creator of Captain America, the Incredible Hulk, Spider-Man, the X-Men, and other superheroes-and he had big plans. He not only began churning out more comic books, he also acquired sports cards and other subsidiaries, impressing Wall Street so much that after he took the c...

To the Moon on a Plastic Bottle
What's behind the entrepreneurship craze of Israel's young generation? Ten years after the phenomenal sensation of Start-Up Nation, Dan Raviv and Linor Barel explain how the chaotic, audacious cultural style of Israel has become a significant component in the success of young entrepreneurs operating in a knowledge-rich environment. Generous doses of chutzpah and the Jewish talent for endless argument enable Israel's youth to dare to dream big. The amazing story of Yariv Bash, Kfir Damari, and Yonatan Weintraub, the three young Israelis behind Project Beresheet (the first Israeli spacecraft to go all the way to the moon) is here woven between multiple examples of the Israeli innovation greenhouse and its cultural sources. A microcosm of the larger scene of this pioneering generation of young, daring Israeli entrepreneurs, the journey begins with a funny Facebook post and takes us through the decision to send a spacecraft to the moon despite no previous knowledge or financial means. By the time we reach the tension-filled landing, the entire nation is moonstruck .
Comic Wars
From the coauthor of the New York Times bestseller Every Spy a Prince comes the colorful true story of the business superheroes who rescued Marvel Comics from bankruptcy. In the mid-1990s, Marvel Entertainment became embroiled in a crisis as strange as one of its comic book stories. Locked in a battle for control of the half-century-old company were two Goliath-style corporate raiders and two virtually unknown Davids: Israeli immigrants with a passion for the toy business. This was a test of wills that led to a unique Wall Street showdown. Combining hard-hitting journalism with entertaining storytelling, Comic Wars takes readers behind the scenes of America's most bitter bankruptcy and captu...

This volume offers a crucial examination of right-wing extremism, supported by detailed empirical analyses of right-wing militants' experiences within and outside their organizations.

Summary of Dan Raviv & Yossi Melman's Spies Against Armageddon
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Meir Dagan, who was the head of the Mossad from 2002 to 2010, had the heavy responsibility of ensuring the continued existence of Israel. He felt that he had the special burden of ensuring the continued existence of the Jewish state. #2 Before the rise of the Shi’ite clerics and Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s establishment of the Islamic Republic in 1979, Iran had nuclear aspirations. The Shah had American, French, German, and Canadian companies queuing up for big contracts with him. #3 In the early 1990s, after Khomeini’s death, Iran renewed its nuclear bomb-building program. It had some help from Russia and China, but above all from Pakistan’s notorious nuclear traveling salesman, Abdul Qader Khan. #4 The Mossad and Israeli military intelligence agency, Aman, had concluded that Iran’s nuclear program was advancing on two tracks. One was civilian, to generate electricity and for research to help medical and agricultural needs. The other was military, to develop the ability to make nuclear bombs.
