This is the fascinating story of a New York City policeman who was stationed in Israel by the NYPD to be a liaison to the Israeli government with the latter s permission. His mission: Work with the Israeli anti-terrorist police units and follow them, train with them, collect intelligence and interact with them on operational missions looking for the nexus between terror in Israel and its potential impact on New York. Morty s story is compelling as he takes the reader inside the most active counter-terrorist police units in the world today. His story contains the horrific scenes of what he saw seconds after suicide bombers ripped open buses and restaurants killing and dismembering scores of innocent civilians. Morty lives and breathes terrorism 24 hours a day. This is a story that will mesmerize you, enthrall you, and sadden you in all of Morty s exploits. It s a truly amazing story, reads like a novel but is all true. Once you pick it up, I guarantee you won t put it down. --Steven Emerson, Executive Director, The Investigative Project on Terrorism
