Territory of Lies: The Exclusive Story of Jonathan Jay Pollard : The American Who Spied on His Country for Israel and How He Was Betrayed
A penetrating expose of the case of Pollard, an American Jew who worked for U.S. Naval Intelligence and spied for Israel. Blitzer, the Washington correspondent for The Jerusalem Post , interviewed Pollard (now in federal prison) and also made use of many contacts in the Israeli government. The tale Blitzer tells is of a bright but unstable man, a dedicated Zionist but questionably loyal American, who offered his services to the Israelis, who in turn mounted a poorly organized intelligence operation in the United States. Blitzer raises many issues about the case that will be debated for years--the harsh sentence given to both Pollard and his wife, the question of dual loyalties, and the possibility of a third party involvement. A thoroughly provocative tale that needed to be told and was done so with a great deal of passion.- Sanford R.
