Schack, a middle~aged Jewish businessman from suburban New York. For fifteen years, unbeknown to even his family and friends, Schack lived a life of adventure and terror working for the Mossad, Israel's vaunted intelligence service. Equipped with a miniature camera, a computer~like memory, a beard, a fake passport, and the persona of an ordinary tourist, Schack set out during the most dangerous years of the Middle East confrontations to infiltrate the Arab world and the highest echelons of its governments. His work, though unknown to the world, produced results that would make history: Under the code name Herschel, he found out about Saddam Hussein's plans to turn Iraq into a nuclear power, a discovery that led the Israeli air force to attack the site in 1981 and blow it into oblivion. Ten years later, he helped pinpoint targets for the Allied planes in Operation Desert Storm and learned how Hussein hid his SCUD missiles from Allied gunsights. He deduced through a military shakeup that there was a good chance Egyptian President Anwar Sadat would be assassinated. Eavesdropping on Saudi Arabian generals who were chatting while sipping drinks in the opulence of the exclusive Equestrian Club in Ryadh, he learned about their plans for chemical warfare. Woven through Schack's modern tales of Arabian nights and days are insights into the Arab peoples, their customs, religions, and history. Finally, A Spy in Canaan is the touching tale of how a dedicated husband and father of four sons agonized over the need to hide his secret life from his family. At last they know. And now, with this fascinating book, so will the world.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. How far would a person go to protect his deepest convictions? THE SPY IN CANAAN by Howard H. Schack contains a historical time frame during which an ordinary person creates world altering events that change history. During a telling interview, when Howard's experienced covert handlers wondered whether he was, indeed, ready to assume the role of a secret agent, he was told in stark, forbidding terms: "Should anything-God forbid-go wrong, if you get caught, we will deny you. You'll be on your own. We will, of course do all we can to get you out, one way or another. We pride ourselves on that. But we will tell the world that we never heard of you. If you find that unacceptable, you can walk out the door now and no one will blame you." To which Howard replied: "You're wrong, I would blame myself." In a review, Dr. Maurice Wholgelernter refers to Howard H. Schack as an American engineer and with a worldwide reputation as a master builder of military installations around the globe. Dr. Wholgelernter devotes a chapter to Howard in his book Jewish Writers/Irish Writers and titled: A Memoir about Hereto Unrevealed Intelligence: "Espionage is commonly defined as that part of the total intelligence designed for the surreptitious inspection of the activities of foreign countries to ascertain their strength and movements and to communicate such intelligence to the proper authorities. If only for security purposes, all nations must feel the need to discover, by their own concealed methods, the guarded secrets of others. Or as Winston Churchill once wittedly remarked: Sometimes liberty requires a bodyguard of lies." Dr. Wholgelernter further discloses that for him to establish the personality traits of the ideal covert intelligence operative central to the anatomy of espionage was far from simple. "A fine study of intelligence gathering catalogs, for example, that there are some 10 traits that the good intelligence operative must possess, in order to qualify for his precarious, oft-times life-threatening assignments. Notable among them, an intelligence agent should be discreet, have passion for anonymity, and must know how to keep his mouth shut and preserve a secret. Considering those attributes, Howard H. Schack was a most effective and accomplished cover intelligence operative, presenting us with an intelligent memoir about hitherto unrevealed intelligence. Secret missions like the many carried out by Schack make possible the successful anti-terror efforts currently being made by the United States and its allies." This item is printed on demand.
