This revealing book by @guttmannaviva.bsky.social is an insightful examination of how much Mossad relied on European intelligence, specifically Club de Berne, to operate its covert #WrathOfGod assassinations. It’s superb. Read both this and The Revolutionists also released last year #Booksky

How cool is that? Chris Costa, Executive Director of International Spy Museum has put #OperationWrathofGod in his top 5 list of "must read" books of 2025, and called it "groundbreaking work"! 👉 Check out the International Spy Museum's socials for Chris' reflections on his top 5 reads.

Today, the brilliant Sebastian Seibt has written a news story about #OperationWrathofGod for France24. An excellent summary and I am very glad to see that research for my book reaches a French-speaking audience: www.france24.com/fr/europe/20...
