Our Man In Damascus by Ben-Hanan, Eli Format: Hardcover with Dust JacketPublished by Crown, 1969 Elie Cohn was hanged from a hook in Martyrs' Square, Damascus, and his body, draped in a white robe, was left hanging for six hours in public view. The execution was carried live, from beginning to end, by the Syrian television network, and in Israel a pale woman tensely followed every scene, heard every imprecation hurled by the announcer and the frenzied crowd. The woman was Nadia Cohn, the wife of Israel's greatest spy -- a man who had penetrated the highest echelons of the Syrian Government so successfully that he was, at the time of his capture, being seriously considered for a Minister's post.Product image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.
