"A hugely controversial work that exposes a series of scandals from Oliver North to British Royal family, The Secret War against the Jews reveals as much about political corruption inside Western intelligence as it does about Israel. Using thousands of previously top-secret documents and interviews with hundreds of current and former spies, Loftus and Aarons, both veteran investigators, Nazi-hunters, and authors, present a compelling narrative. The authors demonstrate that numerous Western countries, especially the United States and Great Britain, have conducted repeated and wilful spying missions on Palestine and later Israel over many decades. While on the surface, these two countries and others profess to be ardent Allies of Israel, they work, in fact, through their intelligence services to betray Israel's secrets to the Arabs. Their motive: oil and multinational profits, which must be attained at any price through international covert policies." – from the rear panel blurb of the American edition.
