But it has something more important, too - a genuine human mission that made a difference.' -- David Hoffman, author of The Billion Dollar Spy 'An amazing story of the dogged behind-the-scenes workings of the Mossad, Israel's foreign intelligence agency, from the late 1970s to the '90s ... From the first secret airlift until 1991, writes the author, who includes helpful maps and a list of the significant characters, 28,695 Ethiopian Jews were transported to Israel, 'about 80 percent of their entire community.' Berg's account of the operation - remarkable due to its duration, execution, and success - reads like a spy novel.' -- Kirkus
