Winston Churchill's description of Stalinist Russia in 1939 - he called it a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma - easily could have been said about the case of Jonathan Jay Pollard (the Spy of David), the U.S. Naval Intelligence analyst who, in March of 1987, received a mystifying life sentence for passing classified secrets to an American ally; Israel. Now, twenty-seven years later, the debate over America's most controversial spy has apparently once again been rekindled.
Spy of David is an attempt to shed a bright light over a dark stain on both the American judicial system and our intelligence community, while, at the same time, solve a decades old puzzle - knowing that, for way too long, the truth surrounding this most gut-wrenching spy cases has remained hidden, blurred and obscured.
