The true story that inspired the Netflix film "The Red Sea Diving Resort" is a thrilling and meticulously documented account. Set in the early 1980s on a remote part of the Sudanese coast, a new luxury holiday resort emerged, catering to divers from around the world. However, the staff at this resort were not what they seemed. They 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 a cryptic message pleading for help, turned into the secret evacuation of thousands of Ethiopian Jews who had been languishing in refugee camps. These Jews were spirited away to Israel, marking a significant milestone in the history of the Jewish people.
Written in collaboration with operatives involved in the mission, endorsed as the definitive account, and including an afterword from the commander who went on to become the head of the Mossad, "Red Sea Spies" offers a complete and never-before-heard tale of this top-secret and often hazardous operation.
Unlike many Hollywood portrayals, this book avoids the use of excessive fictionalization, yet it remains all the more vivid for it. It blends elements of thriller, dark comedy, and true events, creating a captivating narrative that brings out the native drama in an improbable story of a clandestine homecoming.
The author, David Hoffman, has done an exceptional job in capturing the essence of this remarkable story, providing readers with a firsthand account that is both informative and engaging. "Red Sea Spies" is a must-read for anyone interested in history, espionage, and the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity.
