Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Mossad's Nazi Commando: The Shocking True Story of Otto Skorzeny and Israel's Secret War Against Egypt's Rocket ProgramHe Was Hitler's Favorite Commando. Then He Worked for the Jews.In the summer of 1962, a black Mercedes pulled up to a quiet villa in Madrid. Inside that house lived a ghost… from history-a six-foot-four scarred giant who had once been called "the most dangerous man in Europe." He had snatched Mussolini from a mountaintop prison, plotted to kidnap Eisenhower, and walked out of an Allied courtroom a free man. Now, two Israeli agents were knocking on his door with an offer he could not refuse.This is the story they tried to bury.The Rockets Aimed at Tel AvivBy the early 1960s, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser had assembled a chilling resurrection of the Third Reich's most lethal minds. Inside a secret facility known only as Factory 333, German scientists who had built Hitler's V-2 rockets at Peenemuende were now engineering missiles designed for one purpose: the annihilation of Israel.Wolfgang Pilz. Heinz Krug. Hans Kleinwaechter. Names that had vanished after the war now reappeared on Egyptian payrolls. The warheads they were developing would carry radioactive waste, cobalt-60, even chemical agents. Israel's intelligence chief Isser Harel understood what every Israeli would soon learn-history was preparing to repeat itself.And so began Operation Damocles-the most audacious, ruthless, and morally complicated covert war of the twentieth century.A Devil's BargainWhat Mossad did next defies belief. To stop the German scientists, they recruited the one man capable of getting close to them: Otto Skorzeny, SS-Obersturmbannfuehrer, personal favorite of Adolf Hitler, godfather to the postwar Nazi underground known as ODESSA.The Jews would hunt Nazis. With a Nazi.From the cafes of Munich to the rocket testing grounds outside Heliopolis, from poisoned letters and parcel bombs to disappearances that were never solved, Gary Covella, Ph.D. reconstructs a campaign of espionage so explosive that Israel itself classified the details for over half a century. You will witness the assassination attempts, the kidnappings, the back-channel deals between sworn enemies, and the haunting moral question that tormented every operative involved: What does it cost a nation to survive?Inside This Book You Will Discover: The declassified Mossad operations that targeted German scientists across three continentsThe shocking truth about what happened to Heinz Krug-and the two competing stories of his deathHow Skorzeny's recruitment unfolded in a single tense meeting in a Madrid hotel roomThe failed letter bombs, the maimed secretaries, and the international scandal that nearly destroyed the operationThe secret agreement between Israel and West Germany that hung in the balanceWhy David Ben-Gurion himself was forced from office over this hidden warFor Readers Who Crave the Truth Behind the HeadlinesThis is not a story of clean victories. It is a story of nations at the edge of extinction, of intelligence officers forced to shake hands with the murderers of their grandparents, of a young Jewish state willing to make a pact with the devil to ensure it would never burn again.The Holocaust was over. The men who built it were not. And Israel was done waiting.Mossad's Nazi Commando tells you the story your history books never could.<p Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
