Based on an exhaustive review of formerly classified government documents-as well as previously unexplored corporate filings, office diaries and unguarded interviews-Grant F. Smith has written a riveting story of the 1960s diversion of US weapons-grade nuclear material from an Israeli front company in Pennsylvania into the clandestine Israeli atomic weapons program. The talented but highly conflicted founder of the Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corporation (NUMEC)-Dr. Zalman Mordecai Shapiro alongside his close friend and financial backer David Lowenthal-engaged in a ferocious clandestine drive to funnel the most valuable military material on earth that forever tilted the balance of power between Israel and the world. Divert! chronicles Zalman Shapiro's journey from crafting ingenious innovations for the Nautilus nuclear submarine in the 1950s to his costly pursuit of America's most advanced hydrogen bomb designs in the 1970s. Tasked during secret summits with high-level Israeli intelligence agents, guided by Israel's top nuclear arms designers, and defended by Israel and its US lobby, Shapiro and NUMEC drove the CIA and FBI from furious outrage to despair. Presidents from LBJ to Jimmy Carter secretly grappled with how to respond to Israel's brazen theft of American nuclear material before finally deciding to bury the entire affair in classified files. But NUMEC's toxic secrets have refused to be buried alive. Newly declassified wiretaps have risen from the grave, detailing Shapiro's utter contempt for worker and nuclear safety. David Lowenthal's role as an international refugee smuggler between the US, Europe and Israel-before organizing financing for NUMEC-is placed under new scrutiny. This explosive story emerges even as the US Army Corps of Engineers struggles to quietly clean NUMEC's toxic waste near Apollo, Pennsylvania with $170 million in taxpayer funding. At a time when America is coming under intense pressure to attack on the mere suspicion that Iran is diverting nuclear material, Divert! stands as the ultimate cautionary tale of how US Middle East policy is continually undermined from within by corruption, immunity, deceit and unwarranted secrecy.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Grant F. Smith writes books that are essential for our country...Mr. Smith details the manner in which weapons-grade uranium was illegally diverted to Israel from a ramshackle facility in Apollo..." - Michael Scheuer, former senior CIA analyst and author of "Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror"

"The book reads like a thriller...a whodunit. This could be a movie. There are so many interesting characters, and plots and turns. An extraordinary read." - Jeffrey Blankfort is a long time Middle East analyst and host of the KZYX public affairs program "Takes on the World"

"...the temptation to not fully develop a 'cover' entity is severe. ...I think this is an important book." Walter Patrick "Pat" Lang Jr. is a retired U.S. Army colonel who became a member of the Senior Executive Service providing military intelligence analysis of the Middle East and South Asia for the Department of Defense.

"I cannot say enough about a new book by Grant Smith...Smith shows how Israel gamed the American system going back to its apparent diversion in the 1960s of enriched uranium from an American front plant in Pennsylvania owned and operated by Israel lobbyists..." Philip Weiss, MondoWeiss.net

September 14, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I was raised in the Apollo, PA area and have lived there most of my life so this book really means something to me. While I wasn't born when NUMEC was in business I remember the Babcock & Wilcox days very well. I read this book to learn something new about the whole mess that NUMEC, B & W, and the government got us residents into. While Mr. Smith's argument is very persuasive that the missing nuclear material went to build up Israel's arsenal, I have to read more to be convinced. Regardless of where it went, the true crime is what NUMEC, Atlantic-Richfield, and Babcock & Wilcox did to people in the Kiski Valley portion of Pennsylvania. I'm still waiting for a book to be written about that.

Good read. I was convinced early on that Shapiro had indeed diverted HEU to Isreal. Then chapter after chapter it was hammered in...Too bad little effort was put toward non-proliferation by the U.S. Government and it's agencies. The Israeli lobby is a strong and dangerous force.

Amazing investigative work

August 5, 2014

Format: Kindle Edition

Amazing investigative work. Not an easy read. Not for the beginner investigating Zionism. But a valuable resource on this one aspect of Zionist deception and intrigue, namely the clandestine development of nuclear weapons by Israel and the various undercover illegal manipulations- smuggling, front company- which contributed. As I write this Israel has just completed three weeks of wanton murder of civilians in Gaza. As tragic as this episode has been, there is evidence that the tide is turning, with massive demonstrations here in American and around the globe, and even statements by some politicians around the globe condemning Israel's actions. As the American public begins to suspect that Israel is not America's ally, as generations have been taught, researchers like Grant Smith are extremely important as they are providing the information necessary for the public to form their own opinions independent of the hasbara nonsense endlessly regurgitated by the corporate media, and in the case of this book, a story which has been lacking in other presentations and is largely unknown. In addition to exposing how weapons-grade uranium was illegally diverted to Israel from America, Grant also exposes how the front company involved in this illegal diversion, NUMEC, failed to insure the health and safety of its workers, and poisoned its local environment. The story that Grant skillfully delivers in this book is just one of many in which Zionist zealots thumb their noses at rule of law and basic human decency, with full cooperation on the part of the US government. But it is a story essential to know and understand, as Israel today does indeed have a stockpile of nuclear weapons, and is crazy enough, God forbid, to use them. Highly recommended.

How Israel got the bomb

September 6, 2012

Format: Paperback

I am surprised to see that this book has not gotten more attention. It is an excellent, well - researched account of how Israel, acting through American Jewish intermediaries, diverted (stole) the enriched uranium used to make Israel's first nuclear weapon. It also outlines how powerful people subverted the investigation.

Smith uses recently declassified investigative material from the FBI, AEC, and CIA. His sources are impeccable and he uses them fairly. The only disappointment is that none of the principals ever was arrested and forced to talk, so we (like the FBI) are always outside looking in. But still and all, he makes clear the outlines of what happened, and how it happened, and who happened it.

Highly recommended.
