For Ten Years a Mossad Letter-Writer Read the Mail of an Entire Garrison

Batna, Algeria, in the 1960s. For 10 years, one man at a folding table in a market square read the private mail of an entire army garrison — and no one ever knew. In a country where roughly 85% of adults could neither read nor write, a garrison of illiterate conscripts had to dictate every letter home to the one public letter-writer beside the post office. He owned no radio and sent no signal anyone could trace, so the tools that hunted other spies had nothing to find. His intelligence left the closed town 115 kilometres up a single mountain road, hidden in a merchant's cart. That same winter in Damascus, Israel's most famous spy was caught mid-transmission and hanged in public — and this man was his exact opposite.
