Loftus, John and Aarons, Mark. The Secret War Against the Jews: How Western
Espionage Betrayed the Jewish People. New York: St.Martin's Press, 1994.
658 pages.
John Loftus and Mark Aarons are formidable when it comes to uncovering
the secret history of Western intelligence. Their previous effort, Unholy
Trinity, was an examination of the Vatican's support of the Nazi ratline,
and how it was manipulated by Soviet intelligence after World War II. This
book is even more sensational. The most interesting portions are only
peripherally involved with Israel; the "war against the Jews" seems to be a
journalistic "hook" that ties together chapters stuffed with new material on
political corruption in U.S. and British intelligence. The extent to which
Israel was victimized, in other words, is essentially the extent to which
big oil and Arab interests mattered more in the scheme of things.
Three areas of inquiry are most notable. The first is the wheeling and
dealing of the Dulles brothers, in and out of office, in response to their
own interests and the interests of their clients. The second is the
involvement of the British in Iran-contra, and the third is the possibility
that Bush's reversal of policy toward Syria was the result of blackmail.
Although the authors include 115 pages of end notes, many of their sources,
unfortunately, requested anonymity.
