From the Publisher

From deep within the unreported multicultural milieu comes Edward Abboud with grassroots analysis of American politics, culture, and society you won’t find on the evening news. Abboud defines modern warfare, explains conspiracy theory, and shows how propaganda weaponizes the mass media, damages American social and cultural institutions, derails local and national politics, and promotes destructive military activity. Potent underground writing on the content of American mass media, and on the most expensive, secretive, and damaging foreign policy issue in American history.

5.0 out of 5 stars A courageous book which says it like it is, November 1, 2002

By 

Linda S. Heard, editor, journalist and columnist (Athens, Greece) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Invisible Enemy (Paperback)

Edward Aboud forces us to confront our own invisible enemies of cowardice and apathy when it comes to Mid-East politics. The stranglehold which the Zionist lobbies have on the media and Congress must be analysed if the US is once again to be perceived as an honest broker.

Mr. Aboud has provided us with an excellent, thought-provoking read. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Searing Indictment of U.S.' Relationship with Israel, November 9, 2002

By 

William Hughes (Baltimore, MD USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Invisible Enemy (Paperback)

This book is a searing, well documented indictment of the relationship between Israel and the U.S. The author doesn’t pull any punches. He says, “Israel is not our ally,” and then he proves it over and over again in his hard hitting 284 page expose’. Every aspect of the relationship, viewed within a broad conspiracy context, is revealed. Abboud’s open windows into areas usually closed to public view, where the interest of our Republic is continuously put at risk for the sake of Israel. The “Invisible Enemy,” Zionist Israel, is invisible no more, thanks to the hard work of Edward Abboud. All Americans who love their country, owe this intrepid author a debt of gratitude for writing this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every American should read Invisible Enemy, November 14, 2002

By 

Richard W Hobbs (Nevada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Invisible Enemy (Paperback)

This is an extremely important book that should be read by every American. Unfortnately, the American people have been subjected to disinformation and lies concerning the American relationship with Israel for over 50 years. The result has been thousands of Americans killed and more in the future. People like Irwin Graulich and Daniel Pipes should not be listened to on this subject because their loyalty lies outside this country. They would censor what you are allowed to read and burn all books or articles that say anything at all critical of the US Government's blind support of Israel. Educate yourself AMERICA and tell your elected officials to put America first and not be subservient to the political pressure of AIPAC and the religious right which have their own agenda, which does not coincide with the national interests of America.
