Intelligence agencies should never try to ban books about
themselves. Like Peter Wright's Spycatcher (Penguin USA, 1987), which was suppressed in Britain , this book on Israel's legendary
spy organization by a former Mossad katsa or case officer has ended up on the New York Times best seller list. Among the controversial
revelations that led Israel to seek a ban (which was quickly overturned in the United States and Canada) is Ostrovsky's charge
that the Mossad refused to share knowledge of a planned suicide mission in Beirut, resulting in the deaths of 241 U.S. Marines
in 1983. Another New York Times best seller, Dan Raviv and Yossi Melman's Every Spy a Prince ( LJ 7/90), provides more reliable
details on Israel's spy network.
