Publisher's summary

Beverly Hills native Aaron Cohen was 18 years old when he left behind his privileged American life with the single-minded ambition of joining Israel's top anti-terrorist commando unit. After 15 months of grueling training, Cohen was offered the only post a non-Israeli can hold: a top-secret, highly controversial unit that dispatches operatives disguised as Arabs into the Palestinian-controlled West Bank to abduct Hamas leaders and bring them to Israel for trial. Cohen learned flawless Arabic, lost all semblance of his all-American appearance, and participated in countless life-or-death missions. A propulsive, gripping read, Cohen's story is a rare fly-on-the-wall view into the shadowy world of "Black Ops".

Critic reviews

"Aaron Cohen has something to say. And he knows what he's talking about....A no-nonsense, riveting read." (General Tommy Franks, U.S. Army, Ret.)
"A raw, intensely personal, and astonishing look at the journey of a very unlikely hero....It's more than a story of the making of an elite unconventional warfare operative-it's a real, in-your-face, and mesmerizing look at the birth of a patriot. You will be inspired, believe me." (Dale Brown)

Very on current

It starts slow, but, quite good once it gets going. Brought issues in perspective to dealing with terrorist and US need to adopt a more aggressive approach to security and counterterrorism. The closing of the book made me wanting to read more. I hope Aaron Cohen is working a sequel.

As an Israeli this book moved me

It's not the story, which is great, it's the outsider perspective given to a situation I hear regularly. I loved the way the story was built. The narration was good especially in the Hebrew words, that's the way most immigrants pronounces them.

Just that, it is entertaining and provides some in sight of the Sayeret Duvdevan, leaves you wondering how much of it is self promotion or the real deal.

Great book!

What he writes at the end about our national security and police posture is too true. We need to change the way we think and train about terrorism
