Mossad book
On August 23, 2020, Berg posted an image of Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu taking a phone call at his desk. In his post, Berg has zoomed in on and circled a copy of Red Sea Spies visible on a bookshelf behind the prime minister. "First time I’ve been on a prime minister's bookshelf! I know I’ve got one of #Israel PM @netanyahu’s books on mine—but wow!", Berg twitted.[2]
The story for his 2020 book Red Sea Spies: The True Story of Mossad's Fake Diving Resort, a puff piece for the agency, was handed to Berg by a Mossad operative[3] Berg received extensive cooperation from Mossad for the book, including over 100 hours of interviews of past and present agents and Navy and Air Force personnel. In an interview to promote the book, Berg said he collaborated on the project with "Dani," a former senior Mossad commander he described as a "legend" who later became "a very close friend."[4]
