Harpoon: Inside the Covert War Against Terrorism's Money Masters

undefined

Review ------ "It's a cliche after Watergate that the key investigation in most circumstances is to 'follow the money' (in the words of Deep Throat). This is the story of how Mossad led this movement and substantially effected investigations of terrorism and similarly important matters and how this influenced the CIA's later work in the same field. Bravo Mossad! Thanks for leading the way."--R. James Woolsey, CIA Director (1993-95) "The riveting and untold story of the intelligence task force that launched a dynamic new front in the war on terror. A thrill ride with one of the most important Israeli start-ups of them all."--Tamir Pardo, Director of the Mossad (2011-1016) "Money drives terrorism. If funding is cut, terrorism is reduced. A groundbreaking look at how spies, soldiers, statesmen, and lawyers waged a relentless campaign to dry up the financial streams that funded terrorism against Israel and the United States. A great read about a compelling issue."--Professor Alan Dershowitz, leading civil rights attorney "Harpoon is interesting and inful. It is a deep dive into the world of espionage and covert operations that takes the reader from the streets of Israel to the finance district of New York City. One of Harpoon's best aspects is giving us a look at the leaders inside the unit. Instead of simply reading about the incidents, we get to feel connected to the men and women who put their lives on the line in the battle against radical Islam."--Daily Wire "Harpoon reads like a fast-paced thriller novel.... Harpoon superbly outlines how Israel became the preeminent authority in fighting terrorism by attacking its sources of income.... This book must be considered required reading for anyone considering a career in counter-terrorism--or for anyone wanting real in into how our world works, and what can be done about it."--The American Spectator "This book is Start Up Nation all over again, only this time the ingenuity, innovation and flexibility of mind is not about technology but about fighting terror."--Jewish Journal "Highly revealing.... One of the best books on best practices in countering terrorists."--Washington Times "A fascinating read."--The Tower "Gripping.... This fascinating book about the intelligence and legal war against terror is a must-read."--Jewish Press Book Description ---------------- A revelatory account of how Harpoon--the Israeli special unit founded to combat terrorist groups' finances--has tirelessly worked to put a stranglehold on radical groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, their alliance with the highest reaches of power in the United States
