Purchase options and add-ons

Robert Maxwell -- ruthless, volatile, defiant; a man of gargantuan appetites, for food, wine, women, power, money -- unabashedly bared his ambition to the world, as he strove to build a publishing empire. But, throughout his career, Robert Maxwell also nurtured another, more driving, and -- until now -- altogether hidden ambition, and that was to spy for Israel's Mossad. In the end, as Gordon Thomas, an author who has long been trolling the murky waters of international intelligence, shows in this gripping narrative, the conflict between the tycoon's public interests and spy's secret pursuits led to his mystifying death, officially by drowning, in November 1991, offshore of the Canary Islands. According to Thomas's well-placed sources in Israel, Washington, and London, Maxwell first came into Mossad's orbit in the 1970s, when the crack Israeli spy organization stole from the United States its most sophisticated piece of intelligence-gathering software, Enhanced Promis. Of it Mossad made an electronic Trojan horse, secretly amassing strictly classified information from inside the very organizations worldwide to which they were selling it. Mossad's representative for these extremely sensitive transactions costing tens of millions of dollars in China, Russia, India, and twenty other countries was Robert Maxwell. Only Maxwell was also helping himself to some of Mossad's profits -- as well as 750 million from his employees' pension fund -- in desperate attempts to maintain his empire and to meet the demands of increasingly intolerant creditors. Aboard his yacht that November night in 1991 Maxwell no doubt still clung to the hope of a bailout by Mossad. But Mossad's spy masters could not afford to smile on blackmail. This book reveals all the shocking reasons why. Eight pages of black-and-white photographs add to this astonishing tale of international intrigue, espionage, the Mossad, and murder.

    Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2013

    This was an amazingly revealing book as to the extent and power of the Mossad. Makes one wonder if they did not have a hand -- with the CIA -- in the assassination of JFK, since Kennedy was beginning to insist on a full inspection of the Dimona facility which Israel was claiming was for peaceful purpose -- also he was showing some sympathy for the plight of the Palestinians. Israel has never hesitated to assassinate anyone who threatened its expansionist policies; e.g., Count Bernadotte, Lord Moyne, the USS Liberty, ...

    5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable duplicity!
    Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    Great book that reveals how Israel is far from a friend or ally of the US or Britain!! Everything these Zionists do is for Israel; to quote from the book:

    "Mossad had files on all senior US politicians."-p. 90 (paperback)

    "When Yitzhak Shamir would later say that no one had done more for Israel, he was not exaggerating."-p108

    "...Shamir felt sufficiently close to Maxwell to confide in him his anti-Americanism."-p.35

    ..."the suspicion grew later in MI6 and MI5 that Maxwell could not be trusted. He was placed on their Watch List and categorised as 'a Zionist-loyal only to Israel'..."-p.41

    "...there could be no doubting Maxwell's commitment to Israel..."-p.69

    "Mossad was deeply involved in all these areas, operating the diktat David Kimche had articulated: 'In all we do it is Israel first, last and always. Always.'.."-p.72

    That accusing some Jewish politicians of dual loyalty is met with charges of "antisemitism" is absurd. In fact, it isn't dual loyalty, it's SOLE loyalty to the motherland. Read and see why.

    Great book that reads like a spy novel!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Spy Thriller
    Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2003

    Through British citizen Robert Maxwell, vain, gross, brilliant and criminal, Thomas and Dillon paint a picture of corruption and decadence in the West, Eastern Europe and the Middle East today. Maxwell's loyalties are to himself and to Israel; Senator John Tower is in his pocket; and so forth. The United States, apart from furnishing the likes of Tower, furnishes the intelligence stolen by Israel and the subsidies that keep that country in business stealing from its patron. Maxwell is a kind of super sayan (singular form of sayanim) and the book to some degree is an expose of the extent to which these volunteers-for-Israel around the world do damage to their host countries.

    The Maxwell-Mossad team steals spy software PROMIS from the United States, Mossad puts an undetectable trap door in it so Mossad can track the activities of anyone using it, then Maxwell sells it around the world (including back to the U.S. -- with the trap door). When Maxwell finally goes bankrupt, the losses are passed on to "the little people," while Israel and Maxwell's protected heirs remain in the black, at least materially. Thomas/Dillon present, in thrilling mystery adventure mode, the theory that Maxwell became a loose canon to his beloved Israel, among other things hitting on Mossad for a bigger pay-off, and its agents assassinated him.

    The authors, both top-notch investigative journalists, base their study on official documents and on interviews -- what they uncover is bound to shock and put on the alert anyone who loves his country, respects honesty, good will and just about any other virtue within its borders.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2020

    A good book if you are interested in this sort of thing, Maxwell father and daughter, Epstein, Israel, Mossad etc. A very big chunk goes into all the deals Maxwell did in Eastern Europe, too many, too many characters to keep track of, becomes a very heavy read.

    Also the authors don't seem to understand software very well and make some very big errors when talking about the Promis Software, was not explained very well at all. I'd buy the paperback as I did.

    I read this book because of Ghislaine Maxwell's connection to the Jeffrey Epstein trial. This incredibly detailed research has changed forever how I view the governments of England, Israel and the U.S. International money laundering and the people behind big banks are a far bigger risk to world peace than any political issue.

    From the minute I bought this book I could not put in down. Well researched and some gripping stories will sustain your interest in this book. The book goes into Maxwell's ties with Mossad and other intelligence agencies at the time. You really see Maxwell as a Jerkyll and Hyde character, but a man with tremendous influence and power. A must read.
