Ostrovsky,V. Other Side of Deception. 1995
Ostrovsky, Victor. The Other Side of Deception: A Rogue Agent Exposes
the Mossad's Secret Agenda. New York: Harper Paperbacks, 1995. 399 pages.
Victor Ostrovsky, a Mossad officer from 1984-1986, first exposed
Israel's intelligence operations with a 1990 bestseller titled "By Way
of Deception." Israeli efforts to stop publication were too late, and
Ostrovsky, who was born in Canada and raised in Israel, was legally back
in Canada with his family by then, under the protection of the Mounties.
Pushing his luck somewhat, "The Other Side of Deception" is volume two
from Ostrovsky. This volume is more autobiographical: Ostrovsky reports
his adventures through a rough chronology, diary-style, from 1986 to 1991,
and includes much reconstructed dialogue.
According to Ostrovsky, most of his activities in 1986 were at the
behest of a tiny cabal of Mossad insiders who were disgusted with their
agency's wanton immorality, and were running some tricks of their own to
discredit their leadership. This included passing intelligence to other
countries, and could be considered treasonous -- were it not for the fact
that business as usual at Mossad is a betrayal of all that's civil in the
first place. Ostrovsky doesn't name many names, so we have to take him at
his word. He does state that the following deaths were all Mossad hits, and
includes new details: British publisher Robert Maxwell, Canadian scientist
Gerald Bull, German official Uwe Barschel, and Iran-contra figure Ian Spiro.
