El 13 de mayo de 1939 zarpaba de Hamburgo el trasatlántico St. Louis, uno de los últimos buques que salieron de la Alemania nazi antes de que estallara la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Llevaba a bordo a 937 judíos - algunos de los cuales habían estado ya en campos de concentración-, que creían haber comprado visados de entrada en Cuba. Había comenzado el viaje de los malditos. Antes de que el St. Louis hubiera cubierto la mitad de su recorrido a través del Atlántico, había surgido una lucha por el poder entre el corrompido ministro de Inmigración cubano, que había extendido visados, y su superior, el presidente Bru. Resultado: no se permitiría desembarcar a los refugiados. En América, los camisas pardas celebraban concentraciones nazis en Nueva York, y en Europa estaba a punto de llevarse a cabo la solución final. Y a bordo del St. Louis, 937 refugiados esperaban la decisión que había de determinar su suerte. Gordon Thomas y Max Morgan-Witts han recreado la historia en esta minuciosa reconstrucción del viaje. El capitán del St. Louis y su desesperada batalla contra su conciencia y contra sus subordinados nazis; los ocultos motivos del Alto Mando Alemán para otorgar permiso a la "misión de clemencia" y las actitudes de quienes habrían podido evitar la catástrofe.... y no lo hicieron

Created in 1951 to ensure the future of an embattled Israel, the Mossad has been responsible for the most audacious and thrilling feats of espionage, counterterrorism, and assassination ever ventured. Gordon Thomas's 1999 publication of Gideon's Spies, resulting from closed-door interviews with Mossad agents, informants, and spymasters as well as from classified documents and top-secret sources, revealed previously untold truths about the Israeli intelligence agency. And now, in this edition, Thomas updates his classic text and shows the Mossad as it truly is: brilliant, ruthless, and flawed, but ultimately awesome. Three all-new chapters cover topics including: - How the Mossad planned to assassinate Saddam Hussein - Saddam's food-testing ritual, and the surprising "source" within his government - China's U.S.-based front-companies, and its relationship with bin Laden - Mossad's untold role in the events before and after 9/11 - Mossad and revelations about Princess Diana's death - The disappearance of the millions transferred from the Vatican Bank to the Polish Solidarity movement - How extremists recruit suicide bombers, including women - Mossad's untold role in the Iraq war and the hunts for Saddam and bin Laden - Saddam's plans for trial

Los autores decidieron recurrir en lo posible a las fuentes originales. Desenterraron cientos de documentos, hablaron con docenas de personas y, por fin, entrevistaron a más de treinta supervivientes del terrible día. El fruto de este trabajo fue un libro que ha terminado con la controversia y la confusión que, a nivel popular, había sembrado la propagando de uno u otro lado, no sólo de los contendientes en la guerra civil española, sino de los que lucharon en la mundial posterior.

A new perspective on the D-Day landings with the heroic stories of a number of agents sent into Nazi Occupied Europe.
