When Michael Ross decided to go backpacking across Europe, he had no inkling that his vacation would lead to a life tracking down the world' s most dangerous terrorists. In Israel, out of money and alone, Ross began working on a Kibbutz-- and fell in love with both the country and an Israeli woman. After converting to Judaism, Ross was recruited by the country' s secret service-- the Mossad-- as an undercover agent. In the years that followed, he played a significant role in capturing al-Qaeda members responsible for the embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, and worked jointly with the FBI and CIA to uncover a senior Hezbollah terrorist living in the United States. His never before revealed story makes an action-packed biography.
