The best things said about it
I reviewed a book called Rise and Kill First by Ronen Bergman who's an investigative journalist based in Israel.
I think that the conclusion of Rise and Kill First after these long but enjoyable eight years of research is that when targeted killings and assassinations are done as part of an overall policy.
Like I was I'm reading this book uh uh rise and kill first about the about the the uh the Mossad and the early assassination campaigns at the Massad ran first 50 pages you've been reading this book for a year now it's a slow going.
The the non-fiction book I'm reading is called rise and kill first about great books it's fascinating about about the Mossad and and and Target targeted assassinations in the early days of the uh um the founding of Israel and then in the later days and the later days I'm not up to the later days I'm still in the.

Why people recommend it
Rise and Kill First by Ronen Bergman is an exhaustive investigative history detailing the targeted assassinations and covert operations carried out by Israel's intelligence services. On The Shawn Ryan Show, Michael Lester recommended the book to illustrate the tactical mechanics of Israeli targeted killings. Pamela Paul introduced the book on The Book Review as a standout favorite work of nonfiction, welcoming guest Ronen Bergman to discuss his extensive research. Joe Rogan discussed the book on The Joe Rogan Experience with Shane Smith, characterizing it as a fascinating and disturbing look at how state-sponsored assassinations have been utilized as a substitute for conventional military victory. Bergman appeared on multiple literary and political podcasts, including The Book Review, where he explained that his eight years of research concluded that targeted killings are most effective when executed systematically as part of overall state policy rather than isolated actions. Additionally, Jon Lovett mentioned beginning to read the book on Pod Save America as part of a personal resolution to tackle ambitious nonfiction without feeling pressured to finish.
