About the Author
Victor Ostrovsky was raised in Israel, but was born in Canada. At eighteen he became the youngest officer in the Israeli military, eventually rising to the rank of lieutenant commander in charge of naval weapons testing. He was a Mossad case officer from 1984-1986.
From Library Journal
Intelligence agencies should never try to ban books about themselves. Like Peter Wright's Spycatcher (Penguin USA, 1987), which was suppressed in Britain , this book on Israel's legendary spy organization by a former Mossad katsa or case officer has ended up on the New York Times best seller list. Among the controversial revelations that led Israel to seek a ban (which was quickly overturned in the United States and Canada) is Ostrovsky's charge that the Mossad refused to share knowledge of a planned suicide mission in Beirut, resulting in the deaths of 241 U.S. Marines in 1983. Another New York Times best seller, Dan Raviv and Yossi Melman's Every Spy a Prince ( LJ 7/90), provides more reliable details on Israel's spy network.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. "I was elated when I was chosen and granted the privilege to join what I considered to be the elite team of the Mossad. But it was the twisted ideals and self-centered pragmatism that I encountered inside the Mossad, coupled with this so-called team's greed, lust and total lack of respect for human life, that motivated me to tell this story. It is out of love for Israel as a free and just country that I am laying my life on the line by so doing, facing up to those who took it upon themselves to turn the Zionist Dream into the present-day nightmare." - Victor Ostrovsky. "Ostrovsky was born in Canada of an Israeli mother and Canadian Jewish father but spent most of his formative years in Holon, Israel. He became at age 18 the youngest officer in the Israeli military. A weapons-testing expert, he was recruited by the Mossad and completed their extensive training program, becoming a katsa, or case officer, only to grow disillusioned with the organization's aims and operations and return to Canada." - dust jacket. The only Canadian nonfiction book to reach number one on the New York Times Bestseller List. "In 1990 Israel tried to stop the sale of this book. This was the first (and, to date, only) attempt of a sovereign state to stop a book from being published in the United States." - Wikipedia. xii, 371 pages. Glossary. Index. Organizational charts and documents. Clean, tight and unmarked with moderate wear. Front free endpaper neatly removed. Blank address label inside front board. Moderate wear to unclipped dust jacket in glossy new archival-grade protection. A sound example of this this shocking and perpetually timely expose. ; 8vo. Seller Inventory # 337j2141
