Red Sea Spies: The True Story of Mossad's Fake Diving Resort by Raffi Berg

4.0

I wish the tag line for this book said something other than “The True Story of Mossad’s Fake Holiday Resort”, because the resort doesn’t enter the book until about halfway through. Just a tiny quibble; this nonfiction account of Mossad’s efforts to secretly transport Ethiopian Jews to Israel is excellent and thoroughly researched. This is such an inspiring story of great risk, danger, and expense undertaken to save a persecuted minority. The beginning was a little bit dry, and occasionally it was hard to keep track of all the different names bandied about, but once the rescue efforts got going, I couldn’t put the book down.
