Editorial Reviews
Review
"Grant F. Smith's excellent, deeply disturbing book..is a welcome addition to a growing scholarly literature." --Michael Scheuer, former senior CIA analyst and author of "Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror"
"Like political parties, lobbies are groups of citizens with shared interests, an important part of a functioning democracy. When they have enormous power, however, and especially if their activities remain almost completely hidden, lobbies can be dangerous.
Meticulously detailed in this riveting addition to his earlier exposés, Grant Smith reveals yet another facet of the extent to which the pro-Israel Lobby is beyond dangerous, and has become a serious threat to a broad range of American ideals, objectives and interests abroad, as well as here at home. This book contains many highly disturbing, documented revelations. Read it." --Ambassador Edward L. Peck, former Chief of Mission in Iraq and Former Deputy Director, Cabinet Task Force on Terrorism, Reagan White House
"This book presents formidable and dangerous new evidence of spying by Israel and the corrosive long term influence of its lobby on US governance." --Paul Findley, member of Congress from 1961-1983 and author of three books on the US-Israeli relationship, including the Washington Post bestseller "They Dare to Speak Out: People and Institutions Confront Israelʹs Lobby"

A copy of SPY TRADE should be in the hands of every Congress person and senator the US--if they truly represent the interests of the our country and the poor, tax-paying Americans who elected them and not the interests of a foreign country, Israel.
In an elegant little book of only 178 pages, with 300 supporting footnotes and additional appendices of copies of various documents, Grant describes the ways in which Israel takes what it wants from the US. In separate chapters, he investigates arms smuggling, the Israel lobby, the so-called "free trade" agreement, Iran-Contra, AIPAC, Jonathan Pollard, treason, military-industrial espionage, wars (Iraq), pharmaceuticals, campaign financing, and many other areas of economics and government.
Israel and its interests come before everything else: billions, wars, Iran, ridiculous votes in the UN (a recent vote to ban nuclear arms in the Middle East: 161-5, with the US one of the five voting against, along with mighty Palau and Micronesia!) supporting anything Israel wants to do and so on. As Rand Paul suggested, we borrow money so we can hand it over to Israel.
But who is going to stop this exploitation?
Apparently, not the people we elect to represent us.
They are bought and paid for.
Why don't we hear about this in our mass media? This is a question you have to ask our "elected" politicians.

Grant Smith has again written a book in a gloves off, no-nonsense style reminiscent of the 1950's TV crime drama, "Dragnet." But the names HAVEN'T been changed to protect the perpetrators. He bases this book on past and recently declassified documents, the U.S. Defense Investigation Service, and 300 listed sources. Many are appended in this book, linking activities to specific individuals and organizations in Israel and in the Israel Lobby.
Smith details the Zionists' early engagements in arms smuggling following World War II, followed-up by more recent engagements with Iran in "arms for hostages"/Iran-Contra during the decade of the 1980's. He details the theft of classified U.S. military weapons technology and documents (nuclear included) as well as the theft of proprietary corporate intellectual property in pharmaceuticals, high tech, and weapons development/production acquired by infiltrating the military and U.S.corporate interests. Americans will be introduced to members and activities of the Sonneborn Institute and "the Kenya Group." Surprisingly, the latter plot IS NOT SEARCHABLE on Google to this day, much less made available to the American public by the mainstream media and perhaps even through your favorite conspiracy theory outlet.
The book visits the intrigue involved in the establishment of the U.S. free trade agreement with Israel, describes threats made to FBI Directors and U.S. intelligence agency heads as far back as J. Edgar Hoover, and catalogues numerous infiltrations of the White House since FDR's administration to the present day.
More troubling is the perpetrators' immunity from criticism, much less prosecution under clearly defined statutes, and the ineffectiveness and/or reluctance of the legislative and executive branches to declare the Israel lobby an agent of a foreign government under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA)* of 1938 - all thoroughly investigated in this book.
But most troubling is the perpetrators' insatiable appetite for intrigue coupled with a near total lack of cognition of the obvious harm it has done AND is doing to both the people of the United States AND ISRAEL by its actions. This is the prevailing theme of "Spy Trade."
