Zusatztext "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." Informationen zum Autor Aar on Cohen grew up in Beverly Hills. After spending three years in the Sayeret Duvdevan, he returned home and founded IMS Security, a consulting firm specializing in protecting politicians, business executives, Hollywood actors, and rock stars, as well as offering counter terrorism trainingto the FBI, United States military, local police departments, and SWAT units. Douglas Century recently collaborated on two New York Times bestsellers: William Queen’s Under and Alone and, with Rick Cowan, Takedown: The Fall of the Last Mafia Empire. He lives in Los Angeles. Klappentext At the age of eighteen, Aaron Cohen left Beverly Hills to prove himself in the crucible of the armed forces. He was determined to be a part of Israel's most elite security cadre, akin to the American Green Berets and Navy SEALs. After fifteen months of grueling training designed to break down each individual man and to rebuild him as a warrior, Cohen was offered the only post a non-Israeli can hold in the special forces. In 1996 he joined a top-secret, highly controversial unit that dispatches operatives disguised as Arabs into the Palestinian-controlled West Bank to abduct terrorist leaders and bring them to Israel for interrogation and trial.Between 1996 and 1998, Aaron Cohen would learn Hebrew and Arabic; become an expert in urban counterterror warfare, the martial art of Krav Maga, and undercover operations; and participate in dozens of life-or-death missions. He would infiltrate a Hamas wedding to seize a wanted terrorist and pose as an American journalist to set a trap for one of the financiers behind the Dizengoff Massacre, taking him down in a brutal, hand-to-hand struggle. A propulsive, gripping read, Cohen's story is a rare, fly-on-the-wall view into the shadowy world of "black ops" that redefines invincible strength, true danger, and inviolable security.
