In his 2007 book "Spiritual Radical: Abraham Joshua Heschel in America", Edward K. Kaplan confirmed that Martin cooperated with the American Jewish Committee during the Council "for a mixture of motives, both lofty and ignoble...primarily advised the committee on theological issues, but he also provided logistical intelligence and copies of restricted documents." It is confirmed in the book that Martin used the pseudonyms "Forest" and "Pushkin". Kaplan acknowledges that the "kiss and tell book about the internal workings of the Council", "The Pilgrim" by Michael Serafian, was requested from Martin by Abraham J. Heschel, who arranged for the book to be published by Roger W. Straus, Jr.'s Farrar, Straus and Giroux printing company. It was published "in the hope that it would influence the deliberations in the council". Once Martin's identity as author was revealed, it led to protests "and the book had to be removed from circulation at considerable financial loss to the publisher". Kaplan lastly states that Malachi Martin was the primary source of information for Joseph Roddy in writing his 1966 article for "Look Magazine", and that "O'Boyle-Fitzharris" was, in fact, Martin. Kaplan judges the Roddy article as "dangerously misleading [due to the credence it gives to the claim that without organised Jewish pressure the council declaration on the Jews would not have been accepted."
