Amnon Yona was a leading player in the clandestine military operations that led to the creation of The State of Israel. Until now Yona's account had been censored, hiding the truth about some of the most difficult military missions during the fight for Israels independence. At last the author is permitted to share his saga of exploits, the covert forces and the struggle to survive in Mission With No Traces: Sixty Years of Israeli Underground National Security which has just been translated to English from the original Hebrew which reached six printings. Yona's journey became a path of one secret operation after another. Missions with No Traces follows Amnons dangerous ventures, along with his own picture montage and authentic documentation, to give a first-hand detailed account of each mission. Believing that Israel could be the only true homeland for Jews, Yona began his fight in Israels pre-independence underground youth army and continued the battle in Europe where he participated in top secret missions to counter Israel's enemies. Yona was also instrumental in saving the lives of Jews in Europe. He organized and trained self-defense units, and coordinated the activities of the Jewish Brigade and other British Army units. His specialty was directing sabotage and other undercover missions on foreign soil, including Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Italy His courageous acts and dedicated services altered the course of Israels military success and the ultimate victory of independence for a Jewish state.
