2. Mossad books? Not that interesting to me (anymore). CSIS? I am interested.

Yeah, Canada is not the Utopia is once was, if it ever was. In researching and reading, discussing things with people "in the know', there is a massive gap between human rights and the security apparatus. Things may be not be perfect in the U.S, but I assume they do not manufacture threat to jusitfy their existence over there; they defnitely fo so in Canada.

As for Mossad books, I have read plenty about their agency, there is an abundance of them out there, including a more recently published one by a Canadian (The Volunteer). What I am most interested in is books about CSIS and the RCMP. Their covert operations are of particular interest as they have a less than stellar reputation for ruining peoples lives for friviolous reasons; often just to toe the line and improve their career potential. It is sickening.

It is often said that the more secretive a nation the less books there are on their intelligence agency, well, there are very few specifically focused on CSIS, they simply do as they please and for the most part only foreign intelligence agencies are aware of how they operate against their own citizens (often in very unethical and immoral ways).

Let me know if you have any exposes on CSIS; or, even covert RCMP books (they relinquished their official spying business in 1985 due to getting caught burning citizens barns) as to some degree they often operate jointly.
