About this listen

The true story that inspired the Netflix film The Red Sea Diving Resort.

In the early 1980s on a remote part of the Sudanese coast, a new luxury holiday resort opened for business. Catering for divers, it attracted guests from around the world. Little did the holidaymakers know that the staff were undercover spies, working for the Mossad - the Israeli secret service.

Providing a front for covert night-time activities, the holiday village allowed the agents to carry out an operation unlike any seen before. What began with one cryptic message pleading for help, turned into the secret evacuation of thousands of Ethiopian Jews who had been languishing in refugee camps, and the spiriting of them to Israel.

Written in collaboration with operatives involved in the mission, endorsed as the definitive account and including an afterword from the then Mossad director, this is the complete, never-before-heard, gripping tale of a top-secret and often hazardous operation.

I have just finished this book and I must say that it is a fabulous read. It reads like a spy thriller and kept my attention all the way on a long drive from Melbourne to Brisbane in Australia. Obviously very well researched and told in a manner worthy of this incredible covert operation. Thank you Rafi.

Ten out of ten.
