Critics Review
“The Ghost Warriors is a masterpiece! Read it, heed its lessons, and be thankful the ghost warriors are out there.” –Jack Carr, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Red Sky Mourning and Targeted: Beirut “An informative and highly relevant book for anyone interested in the modern battlefield and how unconventional solutions are needed to fix unconventional problems… . If you are interested in the changing face of war, and how certain conflicts require deeply unconventional tactics, pick up The Ghost Warriors.” –Marine Officer Gear, Books, and Lifestyle “The Ghost Warriors reads like a thriller, albeit at times a deeply disconcerting one. Well-written and compelling, I enjoyed it a lot, and would recommend it to the reader interested in Israeli special forces or counter-terrorism.” –Times of Israel “In a work of formidable research, Katz meticulously examines the makeup of the Israeli undercover anti-terrorist organizations which infiltrated deep inside enemy lines to root out Hamas-directed Palestinian terrorists bent on making Israel ‘bleed’ … . A detailed book that is refreshingly full of sound research rather than polemic.” –Kirkus Reviews “The Ghost Warriors provides readers an excellent look inside a previously unknown but very potent counterterrorism unit that saved, and no doubt continues to save, myriad lives, both Israeli and Palestinian. The nuanced descriptions, harrowing details, and fast-paced narrative combine to deliver a genuine page-turner.” –Military Review
