Ex-Mossad officer Ostrovsky's memoir Israel tried to suppress
Original: Ostrovsky trained for three years to become a katsa. Then he wrote a book that Israel fought hard to bury. # books # boo
Victor Ostrovsky, a former Mossad officer who trained for three years as a katsa, or case officer, wrote a tell-all memoir that Israel fought hard to keep from publication. Readers online are revisiting the book, which exposed the inner workings of the Israeli intelligence service and triggered a decades-long legal and diplomatic battle over its release.
Why now: A book review blog post about Ostrovsky's memoir is circulating and renewing debate over Israel's efforts to bury it.
