Review Ronen Bergman has set out in incontestable detail the history and scale of Israels use of extrajudicial killing as an instrument of defense and foreign policy. His material is stark and sensational, but he steers a steady course through it, even pausing along the way to debate the effectiveness and morality of his subject. The result is a compelling read whatever your point of view. - John le CarreA gripping investigation of Israels assassination policy - Sunday TimesRemarkable - ObserverA masterpiece!
