Summary
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.

What an incredible tale!
Truly amazing and inspiring how just a handful of people managed to pull this off. Wonderfully written in a gripping way by Raffi Berg and beautifully narrated by Peter Noble

Interesting narrative of a story vaguely known
Great narration of an intriguing real event. Courage and dedication. Perhaps simplified in places, but too much detail would be a 48 hour book, I guess

Interesting but not especially riveting
Superb narration but it’s ultimately a story that could be told in plenty sufficient detail in less than half the time.
