Life's Voyage
"A parade of luminaries marches through Maury Atkin's fascinating memoir. We meet Israeli president Chaim Weizmann, Jerusalem mayor Teddy Kolleck, and the economist Robert Nathan, not to mention a slew of alligators. But it is Atkin's own story that truly lights up the book, a life devoted to the Zionist dream. Then again, to paraphrase Herzl, if Maury Atkin wills it, it is not a dream. / Franklin Foer"-- Back cover.

Spies in the Promised Land: Isser Harel and the Israeli Secret Service
For 15 years the name of Isser Harel, the man in charge of all the intelligence branches of Israel, was top secret in Israel. Even when he resigned from office in March 1963 his name and picture remained undisclosed. Only in 1965, when he was appointed special adviser on intelligence and security to Prime Minister Levi Eshkol, were his name and picture revealed. But most of his past feats were still kept secret, even when stories about underground activities, the capture of a spy, or a mission abroad were disclosed. Alan Dulles, head of the CIA, declared at the time, “the Israeli services are the best in the world”. For what operations did the Israeli services deserve such credit? What was their modus operandi? How had they been established and developed? How did they conceive rules of ethics and morality? These questions and many more are answered in this book, which reveals the life story and operations of Isser Harel, whom David Ben-Gurion called “the guardian of Israel’s secrets and honor”.

The Myth of Rescue
It has long been argued that the Allies did little or nothing to rescue Europe's Jews. Arguing that this has been consistently misinterpreted, The Myth of Rescue states that few Jews who perished could have been saved by any action of the Allies. In his new introduction to the paperback edition, Willliam Rubinstein responds to the controversy caused by his challenging views, and considers further the question of bombing Auschwitz, which remains perhaps the most widely discussed alleged lost opportunity for saving Jews available to the Allies.
