pp. 278, “Ross shares his experiences and feelings during the fifteen or so years he spent with the Mossad, both as a field agent and as a liaison officer in Tel Aviv. He often mentions the strain his career put on his family. One particular experience while working in Europe he mentions, “I’d felt the strain between my two competing identities – the real and the fake… I’d deliberately avoided anything approaching true friendship. All the parts that made me a real person… had been put in boxes and stored in another country.” So in 1997 he took a desk job in Tel Aviv in order to spend more time with his wife and kids. While there he worked closely with the CIA and FBI to locate common targets of both nations. Eventually he went back to working as a field officer in Southwest Asia and Africa until he retired in 2001.”
