Description
“Wondrous . . . compelling . . . In unadorned yet piercing prose, Friedman captures what it
was like to be part of the Arab Section . . . Friedman succeeds in portraying the ‘stories beneath
the stories†that acted as a bedrock to the rise of the Mossad and serve still as a window into
Israelâ€s troubled soul.― —New York Times Book Review “Spies of No Country is an
important book . . . Americans are not accustomed to hearing about Israel's complexity, or its
diversity. We are rarely asked to consider Israel as a country that is, as Friedman says, 'more than
one thing.' Any serious defender or critic of Israeli politics should consider this a serious problem.
Meaningful opinions require nuanced understanding, and Spies of No Country offers that.― —
NPR Books “In Spies of No Country, Matti Friedman, a Canadian-Israeli journalist, resurrects
early operations of the intelligence service of the Palmach, the nascent military that ultimately grew
into the mighty Israel Defense Forces. The book is a slim but intriguing string of anecdotes in
which members of the unit risk their lives under cover in Syria, Lebanon and Iraq as Jewish
settlers and refugees fought to preserve their foothold in Palestine.― —The Wall Street Journal
“Engaging . . . Illuminating . . . Friedman seems to be telling this story for larger purposes. He
wants to shine a light on a band of Arab-born operatives often overlooked in the stories of
Israelâ€s founding as a Holocaust refuge led by Europeans in the Zionist movement. When I
was done, I couldnâ€t stop thinking about the men inside the Beirut kiosk, selling candy and
pencils to schoolchildren while secretly listening to a transistor radio tucked in the back, trying to
pick up news from home.― —The Washington Post “One of the most compelling,
compulsively readable histories I've read in a long while. Matti Friedman is a lyrical writer and a
master of suspenseful storytelling. His gripping spy story doesnâ€t just narrate Israelâ€s
heroic founding—it illuminates its tortured present.― —Franklin Foer, author of World
Without Mind “Spies of No Country is thrilling, moving, and, like everything that Matti
Friedman writes, deeply humane.― —Nicole Krauss, author of Forest Dark 'A thrilling Israeli
spy story . . . Matti Friedman tells this story with great style. Not only is Spies of No Country good
on such sophisticated, tangled questions of identity; it also just tells a fun story. As a literary
document, Spies of No Country is exquisite . . . beautiful and exciting.―—The Forward
“Matti Friedmanâ€s Spies of No Country is a compelling tale of Israeli espionage. But more
than that, it is a meditation on Israelâ€s national origin story . . . compelling . . . like the best le
Carré . . . Friedmanâ€s superb storytelling skills are such that he employs the devices of

fiction, most notably the use of dramatic irony, which gives the narrative a particular poignan
