Rise and kill the first. The secret history of Israeli point liquidations. Bergman R.

Israeli special services is one of the most secret organizations on Earth, which is ensured by a complex system of laws and instructions, strict military censorship, as well as intimidation, interrogations and criminal prosecution of journalists and their sources, as well as the solidarity and loyalty of personnel.

before Rinen Bergman undertook his journalistic investigation, which resulted in this monumental work, all attempts to look behind the scenes of dramatic events, in which Israel played one of the main roles, were at best episodic. None of the thousands of interviews on which this book is based on a variety of people is given from political leaders and heads of special services to ordinary operatives, never received the approval of the Israeli military elite, and not one of the thousands of documents that these people were transferred to Bergmann, not were allowed to make public. A huge number of previously classified data are published in this book for the first time.

The book was included in the list of bestsellers of the New York Times newspaper, as well as the list of the 10 best books by New York Times, named after the best books of the year by the New York Times Book Review, BBC History Magazine, Moter Jones, Kirkus Reviews, won the National Jewish Book Award (History).
