Confidential: The Life of Secret Agent Turned Hollywood Tycoon - Arnon Milchan

Arnon Milchan has led a secret double life. The kind of life one would read about in a John Le Carré spy novel or in a movie made by Hollywood colleagues Steven Spielberg or Oliver Stone. This is the story of a secret agent, of nuclear proliferation, billion-dollar high-tech defense transactions, ideology, patriotism, love, heartbreak, and the awe inspiring Hollywood career of a mysterious mogul. In a true story that puts James Bond to shame, **Confidential** details with nail-biting suspense how producer Arnon Milchan evolved from his youth into one of the most important covert agents that Israeli intelligence has ever fielded. From Iran to South Africa, from Poland to Taiwan and the US, **Confidential** casts a global net to expose the legendary producer of blockbusters like __Pretty Woman__, __LA Confidential__, and __Mr. and Mrs. Smith__. Meir Doron and Joseph Gelman methodically unveil Arnon Milchan's role as a key player in many of Israel s most important intelligence operations. **Confidential** is packed with stunning new revelations and opens a window into the world of a key covert operative, who evolved into a genuine member of Hollywood's royal elite. Arnon Milchan, a unique and exciting individual, has worked his way up from a small town in Israel to become a world-renowned figure both in the extravagant Hollywood scene – and in the dangerous and covert world of the Mossad.
Milchan worked for Israel as a weapons procurer and in the acquisition of sensitive technologies for Israel's nuclear program. He was heavily involved in business activities in pre-revolution Iran, and with the South African government in the 1970s, both in weapons procurement and in efforts to influence international-media attitudes toward the apartheid regime.
Milchan's Hollywood career began in the late 1970s, and he rapidly built up a multi-billion dollar business. He partnered with Rupert Murdoch at 20th Century Fox and produced many films including "The War of the Roses" and "Under Siege."
