Rise and Kill First: The Secret History of Israel’s Targeted Assassinations
In the shadows of global diplomacy and beneath the silence of plausible deniability lies Rise and Kill First—a harrowing chronicle of Israel’s most closely guarded weapon: its secret assassination program. With unnerving clarity and cinematic intensity, the book unveils a world where morality bends beneath the weight of survival, and decisions made in dimly lit rooms shape the fate of nations. How far should a state go to protect its people—and what does it sacrifice in the process? Each page pulses with the tension of life-or-death choices, offering a sobering meditation on justice, vengeance, and the hidden costs of preemptive power. This is the realm where silence kills, and history is written in whispers and blood.

The Bomber Mafia: A Tale of Innovation and Obsession
In the smoke-shadowed crucible of World War II, a renegade band of idealists dared to believe that precision—rather than firestorms—could win the war and preserve humanity.

Can technology be a force for mercy in the machinery of war, or does every innovation eventually bow to chaos? With haunting elegance, this is a story of obsession, invention, and the fragile line between vision and devastation.

Why War?
War is portrayed here not as a distant echo of the past but as a living tempest born from ambition, fear, and the fragile architecture of peace. With measured urgency, Why War? dissects the tinderbox of ideologies, alliances, and human passions that ignite conflict across centuries. It asks us to peer into the heart of collective choices: if we can trace the fault lines of every great struggle, can we ever dismantle the logic that makes war seem inevitable? In its crisp, unflinching prose, this book challenges readers to confront a haunting paradox—when the drums of war grow silent, do we dare listen for the whispers of the next one?
