Mission being human Every man being encounters countless challenges in the course of his or her life's journey that need to be accepted and solved. But on the way we also have the same goals like striving for happiness, love, appreciation and joy. Each person is valuable because of their experiences, emotions, abilities and talents. We should therefore also treat each person with respect and appreciation, regardless of differences such as race, origin or religion. Difficulties exist in every phase of life, but through mutual support and appreciation we facilitate our lives and manifest a loving, livable and respectful society. Every human being who fulfills this mission here on earth with the accompanying challenges on a daily basis, can thus truly be called a hero. Yes, you are a hero.

Based on true events, The UNDERCOVER WRESTLER is a "semi-fictional" espionage spy-thriller novel set in post-World War II Czechoslovakia, telling the incredible story of my grandfather, Zalman Unreich, a highly regarded wrestler and undercover spy from Israel. Raised as an extremely religious boy, with a strict father who hoped his son would become a Rabbi, Zalman had other plans, which involved using his champion wrestling background to defend the Jewish people. His adventurous "career" first began in the streets in Bratislava, then later in Palestine and eventually Israel, negotiating the Czechoslovakian Arms Deal that helped the State of Israel defend itself during its early days of war. While working as an Israeli diplomat (and a master of deceit), Zalman helped the victims of the Communist anti-Jewish "show-trials" and he smuggled many people across the Iron Curtain in Europe, risking his life on a daily basis. Zalman was a consummate professional, who left little traces of his work, and as a result, his story is untold -- until now.

Captain Robert Nairac was a brilliantly successful undercover operative in the British Army, with a string of intelligence coups in the war against the IRA. But, until this book, the nature of his operations and the story of his betrayal and murder have remained shrouded in mystery. John Parker - author of a bestselling official history of the Special Boat Section - has obtained unprecedented co-operation from very senior Army sources, and from Nairac's friends and family, to reveal the truth behind the secret war in Northern Ireland - and the ferocious rivalry between MI5 and MI6 that contributed to Nairac's death. This book is a tribute to the heroism of Nairac and all those in Northern Ireland who gave their lives in the battle against terrorism.
