Ostrovsky,V. Hoy,C. By Way of Deception. 1990
Ostrovsky, Victor and Hoy, Claire. By Way of Deception: The Making and
Unmaking of a Mossad Officer. New York: St.Martin's Press, 1990. 371 pages.
Several books in NameBase tell the history of Israel's Mossad, which
is responsible for "foreign intelligence collection, political action and
counterterrorism, ... [and which] conducts agent operations against the Arab
nations and their official representatives and installations, particularly
in Western Europe and the United States." This is from a CIA analysis that
was discovered by Iranian students in Tehran in 1979, and reprinted in
CounterSpy. Former Mossad chief Isser Harel called the CIA document "anti-
Semitic" and a "nightmare" for him, and said that it was "shockingly
irresponsible" for the CIA to keep a document like this "rolling around"
in the U.S. Embassy. Mossad and Shin Beth have only 1,000 staff officers,
but they manage to create more than their fair share of controversy.
Victor Ostrovsky was a Mossad case officer from 1984-1986, and was in
Canada when two Mossad agents showed up to say that for his "own safety"
he should try to stop publication. Israel obtained injunctions against the
publisher, but in the U.S. it was lifted because 17,000 copies had already
been shipped. This is the first book to offer some major dirty laundry.
Among other things, it charges that Mossad had advance knowledge of the
1983 truck bombing in Lebanon that killed 241 U.S. Marines, but refused to
warn the American authorities for policy reasons.
