In the mid-1980s, Jonathan Jay Pollard, an intelligence analyst working in the U.S. Naval Investigative Service's Anti-Terrorist Alert Center, systematically stole highly sensitive security secrets from almost every major intelligence-gathering agency in the United States. Ronald J. Olive, the NIS assistant special agent who led the whirlwind investigation against Pollard, reveals how one of the most notorious spies in American history was brought to justice.

Shaw (formerly a lawyer) recounts the details of the Pollard case. He discusses Pollard's acts of espionage on behalf of the Israeli government, his trial, and his life sentence. Particular attention is given to Pollard's Zionism, his relationship to the American Jewish community, the involvement of government officials like Caspar Weinberger, and Clinton's refusal to free him. Appendices include photographs, a chronology, the U.S.-Israel security agreement, a chart comparing the sentences of various spies, and letters in support of Pollard. c. Book News Inc.

A history of Americans who spied against their country and what their stories reveal about national security What’s your secret? American Spies presents the stunning histories of more than forty Americans who spied against their country during the past six decades. Michael Sulick, former head of the CIA’s clandestine service, illustrates through these stories—some familiar, others much less well known—the common threads in the spy cases and the evolution of American attitudes toward espionage since the onset of the Cold War. After highlighting the accounts of many who have spied for traditional adversaries such as Russian and Chinese intelligence services, Sulick shows how spy hunters today confront a far broader spectrum of threats not only from hostile states but also substate groups, including those conducting cyberespionage. Sulick reveals six fundamental elements of espionage in these stories: the motivations that drove them to spy; their access and the secrets they betrayed; their tradecraft, or the techniques of concealing their espionage; their exposure; their punishment; and, finally, the damage they inflicted on America’s national security. The book is the sequel to Sulick’s popular Spying in America: Espionage from the Revolutionary War to the Dawn of the Cold War. Together they serve as a basic introduction to understanding America’s vulnerability to espionage, which has oscillated between peacetime complacency and wartime vigilance, and continues to be shaped by the inherent conflict between our nation’s security needs and our commitment to the preservation of civil liberties. Now available in paperback, with a new preface that brings the conversation up to the present, American Spies is as insightful and relevant as ever.

The focus of this work is to analyse the conflict between two components which constitute the basic foundation of every democratic state. On the one hand, the liberal democratic state is required - by definition - to protect the basic principles of the rule of law and human rights; on the other hand, in order to maintain its existence, the exigencies of security are deemed ultimate, even when this means the suspension of certain human rights. The basic question is - what comes first, security or the rule of law? Four main periods are analyzed in this book - 1948-1967 - the period of the pre-1967 borders; 1967-1977 - the years following the Six Day War, under the Labour government; - 1977-1992 - the era of the Likud as a dominant party in Israeli Politics; - 1992-1995 - the post Likud era. The book shows that it is easier for a democracy to cope with an external threat which presents circumscribed lines of conflict. An external threat to its political system allows a country to consolidate consensus and social cohesion for repelling the danger, towards the preservation of national independence. A threat from home, when there is no internal consensus on its scope, its immediacy and the ways of countering it, gives rise to substantial difficulties in preserving agreement and understanding about accepted rules of the game on security matters in a democratic system.

Culled from archives around the world, the 50 documents in Declassified illuminate the secret and often inaccessible stories of agents, espionage, and behind-the-scenes events that played critical roles in American history. Moving through time from Elizabethan England to the Cold War and beyond, noted author Tom Allen places each document in its historical and cultural context, sharing the quirky and little-known truths behind state secrets and clandestine operations. Each of seven chapters centers on one particular theme: secrets of war, the art of the double cross, spy vs. spy, espionage accidents, and more. Through support and access provided by the International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C., this lively history contains never-before-published and hard-to-find documents—printed from scans of the originals wherever possible. These include The Zimmerman Telegram, which led America into World War I; letters from Robert Hanssen to his Soviet spymaster, marking the start of his devastating career as a mole; and papers as recent as the Presidential Daily Brief that announced that Bin Laden was determined to strike the U.S.—delivered in August 2001. The public interest in state secrets and espionage has been piqued by our current international conflicts, and this engrossing book—well priced and engagingly written for the general reader—will definitely feed that fascination.
