Summary: Why the Israeli MOSSAD gave US false info about WMD in Iraq
Review: Anyone who does not know who Victor Ostrovsky is can make up all of the lies they want, but the man is honest, brave and true as the day is long. After the Mossad planted the transmitter in Tripoli that misled the US and the Brits to think that Libya was responsible for downing the jet in Lockerbie, it decided to get rid of Saddam Hussein. It had aided IRAN during the iran-iraq war, and it wanted to get rid of iraq's big army, but did not want to attack it and have it coming back on its borders, and it did not have aircraft carriers and tomahawk missiles to do the job, so it spread the rumor that saddam was a madman, that he killed people with his bare hands, and that he was going to go nuclear and seize all of the oil in the Mideast.
Mossad had sold weapons to Iran through Germany during the iran-iraq war and trained iranian fighter pilots. It killed Uwe
Barschel, Premier of Schleswig-Holstein when he tried to stop them.
Mossad also helped overthrow Mikhail Gorbachev via a deal made
with Vladimir Kryuchkov on Robert Maxwell's yacht in exchange for expelling all of the soviet jews.
Israel has enough nuclear weapons to destroy the entire mideast, has chem-bio weapons at Nes Zionyya, and Ostrovsky risked his life telling the truth. The documentation is there.
Anyone who says otherwise is either working for the Mossad or a liar.
The death of Rabin is also a work of internal israeli security. Mossad does not want peace, but war or unconditional surrender. It logistically aided fundamentalist muslim extremists in afghanistan, and the Hamas and even Palestinian terrorists who hijacked the Achille Lauros in order to make peace impossible and smear the PLO and the arabs. It has killed even israelis who tried to have peace talks.
It agitated to start the first gulf war between iraq and kuwait and blackmails US congressmen or their aides to support israel.
While we die in iraq you should think about this, and tell the President, tell Kerry and Colin Powell.
Everyone should read these books by Ostrvosky!!!!!
Especially Michael Moore, GW Bush, Dick Cheney, and Rumsfield!

Summary: Scattered information about the Mossad
Review: I read this book 10 years ago for the first time, and read it again about year ago. After the second read I realized that the author combined interesting factual information with personal complaints. I also wonder how he was supposedly privy to so much detailed information on the various operatives.All bickering aside, this is an interesting book that will take you through his training, to his real life assignments.

Summary: Half the Story
Review: One thing you should know about this book is that in the sequel, The Other Side of Deception, Ostrovsky admits that some of the info in By Way of Deception was deliberately inaccurate and meant to serve as a message to the Mossad that they want to leave him alone or he will reveal the real info. The Other Side of Deception also reveals his true reasons for writing an expose, not so much idealism as it was self-preservation (if he weren't Machiavellian, do you think they would have made him a case worker?).
To address another reviewer's doubts: he was given protection by the Canadian government. And he acted quickly to make sure he had a lot of publicity so any sudden death would be carefully investigated with the Mossad being the obvious suspect.

Summary: Nonsense
Review: Out of morbid curiosity, I picked this controversial book, and was not surprised. The guy claims to be a mossad agent, with a head full of dark and embarassing secrets. If there was any truth in this, he would have been assasinated or kidnapped (like Vaanunu).
What you are reading here is entertaining fiction and speculations, presented as fact.
If you are after a true picture of the Mossad, keep away from this book. If you want to indulge in "how horrible the mossad is", that's your book.

Summary: A Must Read for Every American
Review: There is a reason Israel does not want this book out and it isn't because it is lies. Newsstories, facts, other authors and stats back it up 100% and many of the situations from the 1970's through the 1980's that didn't appear completely legit, now make sense. This book will leave you with the question: why does anyone work with Israel given their entire stance is superiority and using others? Like the current US government's relationship with Israel, it's take, take, take and never give anything of value back.
Most angering issue reading this book is that Israeli Intellegence could have saved the lives of the American Soldiers killed in Lebannon. The tactics used and how well they keep track of all "black" or Arab agents, leaves no doubt Israel knew about 9-11 ahead of time. But since the disaster would be good for US/Israeli realtionships, like Lebannon, they likely gave vague warnings without specifics. The only Israeli citizen killed in 9-11 was a Mossad agent on one of the planes. This book will clarify many questions and open your eyes up to what is real and what is done by way of deception. Absolutely incredible. You will not be able to put it down.

Summary: Very Interesting...
Review: This book contains an intersting look behind the scenes at the world's most formidable spy agency and how they get work done with a skeleton crew (35-40 active case officers at any given time, worldwide).
At one point, he notes that about every major contemporary bridge that has been built in Saudi Arabia has explosives built into it, courtesy of Mossad. Kinda makes me wonder about the implosive nature of the World Trade Center buildings, especially Building 7, which had little damage, and Larry Silverstein's decision to "Pull" the building, a term used by demolitions experts to desribe the action of detonating the demolition charges which had been placed after weeks and months of structural and pyrotechnical research. Hmmm....
An interesting read into the Mossad, and almost 12 years prior to 9-11 no less. Pick it up, not a bad read at all.

Summary: Excellent book; horrendous printing
Review: This book is an excellent account of the secretive Mossad intelligence service in Isreal. However, I must say that this printing, by St. Martin's Press to be the WORST I've ever seen. The font choice is painful on the eyes, in that both the book and it's cover have clearly been printed using a run of the mill ink jet printer. I can literally count the dots contained in each letter. This leaves a strong "fuzzy" feeling while reading which is extremely distracting. The plastic film covering the outside of the book has already begun peeling off, despite having owned the book for less than a week.
It was hard to choose an appropriate rating for this review. The book's contents (my hat off to Victor Ostrovsky) well deserves 5 stars, yet this paperback printing is well below professional quality, thus the lower overall score.
Do yourself a favour and get a copy of the hardcover edition.

Summary: Inside Look
Review: This is a book about how one man became a Mossad agent in the Israeli foreign intelligence agency. He details his joining and ascent in the ranks. The main focus of the book is the description of the training he and others under went, and then descriptions of some operations he was involved in. I had always heard that the Mossad was one of the better intelligence organizations out there - in the class of the CIA, KGB, MI5, but the detail described about training and information gathering makes one really appreciated how good they are. All this with a substantially smaller force then the other groups have, it makes for an organizations that man for man is probably the best. The book really brings out the determination of the recruits and the dedication the members of the Mossad have. The author does a good job with this book. He is economical with his words and you do not ever get bogged down in dry information. The fact that he brings emotions to the reasons he joined and what he went through give the book more punch then just a telling by an investigative reporter. If you are interested in the world or espionage then this is a great book to read.

Summary: Excellent and Gripping Book
Review: This is a great book written by a man who put his life on the line inorder to let the world know how terrible the Mossad really is. He eloquently summarizes his life story, growing up as an ardent Zionist, climbing high in the Israeli military ranks, and finally becoming disillusioned after achieving the dream of many Israelis: joining the Mossad. He explains in great detail many of the ways, training techniques, and past operations of this ultra-secret "intelligence agency" that he was a part of for four years. If, as some people say, this book is not factual, why is it that most of the events are actually recorded in old newspapers, magazines, T.V. news, etc.? All you have to do is spend enough time and you can find for yourself the articles on Yehia Meshad, Jonathan Pollard, Sabra and Shatilla, the Fallashas, and so on. Offcourse the major difference is that Ostrovsky, as an insider, ties things together and goes into the details that we could never find in the news. Furthermore, why would the Israeli govt. and Jewish groups in the U.S. try to prevent this book from being published in the first place? Finally, I just heard that this book is out of print and banned in the U.S. now. If this is true, it is a shame. It just goes to show that Ostrovsky is right.

Summary: Explains the truly corrupt and evil workings of the Mossad
Review: Victor Ostrovsky is a very brave man to write By Way of Deception. This book exposes the truth about the most corrupt and evil intelligence organization, which is comparable to the demented CIA. To have a motto "By way of deception, thou shalt do war" tells you the kind of mindset these Zionist criminals have. Ostrovsky points out in the book, that the Mossad get away with spying on the politics of foreign countries by labeling "anti-semitic" any objection to its methods or when they do happen to get caught in the act of sabotage. The Mossad regards anyone in Israel who believes in peace with the Palestinians, or withdrawal from the occupied territories as a traitor to the state of Israel. It has sold arms and provided information to fundamentalist Muslim groups via third parties in order to undermine the stability of Arab States and the credibility of their leaders with The West. This also includes setting up extremist groups within the Gaza Strip and West Bank. Just like their U.S. Government allies' creation Al-Qaeda, Israel's creation is Hamas. The Israeli Mossad and other Israeli intelligence services have been involved in "recruiting" an Israeli-run, phony Al-Qaeda cell among Palestinians, so that Israel could achieve a frontline position in the U.S. "War on Terrorism" and get a green light for a worldwide "revenge without borders" policy. This taking place during the second Palestinian Intifada, the Israeli intelligence used the American know-how and experience gained creating Al-`CIA'eda and Mr. CIA agent Tim Osman a.k.a. Osama Bin Laden. The Israeli Intelligence services were using the damaged Palestinians economy to lure in unaware Palestinian youths. They provided several Palestinians with machine guns and thousands of dollars to kill Israelis under the name of Al-Qaeda. When the game was discovered by the Palestinians intelligence, the Israelis scurried away and stopped their disgusting Al-Qaeda game with Palestinians. There has even been reports of an Israeli (not Palestinian) arrested in the Philippines for being a member of Al-Qaeda. This makes one think about how many Al-Qaeda cells have Mossad agents successfully set up around the world? It is well established that several top Cabinet officials in the current Ariel Sharon caretaker government, including Sharon himself, have a long, jaded history of staging precisely these kinds of "counter gang" operations, using Israeli covert operatives and Arabs tortured and brainwashed in Israeli jails and recruited as false-flag terrorists. Not to mention the five dancing Israelis arrested on 9/11. As the World Trade Centre burned and crumpled to the ground, the five Israelis celebrated and filmed the worst atrocity ever committed on American soil as it played out before their eyes. Their discovery and arrest that morning on 9/11 is well documented. It was later confirmed that the five detained Israelis were in fact Mossad agents. And their motive? To bind America in blood and mutual suffering to the Israeli cause. One has to especially question Israel's motives concerning the 9/11 attacks, when the former Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was asked on 9/11 what the terrorist strikes would mean for US-Israeli relations. His quick reply was: "It's very good." Then he corrected himself, adding: "Well, it's not good, but it will generate immediate sympathy [for Israel from Americans]."
