Foreword by Rabbi Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean, Simon Wiesenthal Center
A real-life adventure story told by a New York Times bestselling author and war correspondent who reveals how he became a hostage, an arms dealer, and an Israeli spy.
And the Rest Is History takes readers on a traveling circus from Paris to Beirut, Baghdad, and beyond, introducing them to spies and terrorists, arms dealers and crooks, and along the way reveals a few surprises about the secret underbelly of recent history you wont find in WikiLeaks. This book pinpoints precisely when the era of fake news actually began in America, and will change the way you think about journalism and journalists.
It includes:
riveting testimony of the authors torture and born-again experience as a hostage in a Beirut cellar;
unusual insight into the beginnings of the IranContra scandal;
eyewitness reporting from the battlefields of the Middle East;
the inside scoop on Saddam Husseins WMD programs;
astonishing stories of French government dirty tricks, the intelligence underworld, Israeli hostage negotiations, and the real-life escapades of a Soviet sleeper agent.
And the Rest Is History is a reporters journey from Left-Bank leftist to born-again Christian conservative. But most of all its a rollicking good read full of unusual characters, places, and events you will never hear about on the evening news.
