Overview
When the name of admitted spy Jonathan Pollard is mentioned, fiery debate breaks out between those who believe he should have been shot, and those who contend that he was forced into prison for life by government officials who violated his constitutional rights. Now, for the first time, the case involving the most controversial spy in American history is examined by presenting every aspect of the Pollard story. It shows the moral dilemma faced by Jonathan Pollard, a Zionist and naval analyst who admitted passing top secret security documents to the Israeli government in the mid-1980s. Attorney and author Mark Shaw delivers an in-depth portrait of this fascinating case.
