Spies of No Country: Secret Lives at the Birth of Israel by Matti Friedman

4.0

Imagine you are a spy but because your country doesn't yet exist you are dumped in a country with no backup and no safety net. This is the reality for the four young men at the centre of this book. Because they are Jews from Arab countries they are the perfect men to be sent into Lebanon during the 1948 war to gather intelligence for the new State of Israel. This was a fascinating book. I really admire the courage of people like this.
