Spook War

A Memoir From The Trenches

Spook War gives a glimpse and a tour into the primary and collateral events triggered when the Reagan Administration abruptly shifted three decades of American foreign policy to favor the interests of the Arab States to the detriment of our traditional Middle East allies, the Israelis. Have you ever wondered about the real story behind the blaring headlines of that era? Count Alexandre de Marenches, longtime chief of the Service de Documentation Exterieure de Contre-Espionnage, the primary Intelligence Agency of France, described it as two sorts of history... the known and the unknown. This book describes some of those unknowns. Welcome to the Spook War.
