The execution was carried live, from beginning to end, by the Syrian television network, while, in Israel, a pale woman watched every scene... She was Nadia Cohn, the wife of Israel's greatest spy - a man who had penetrated the highest echelons of the Syrian government so successfully that its President, El-Hafez, considered him an intimate friend. Now the hard-hitting story of Elie Cohn's amazing feats can be told. Though it reads like a Le Carre or Fleming novel, it is as tragic and true and shocking as today's headlines from the explosive Middle East.... First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
