Astonishing and Factual - Still Relevant

A shocking true-to-life documentary on Israel's adverse influence on U.S. trade relations and foreign policy. A must read to better understand how Israel and its cohorts are able to direct American foreign policy from within the U.S. government system. The author provides in detail the machinations employed by a pro-Israeli cabal to put in place, within the U.S. government, procedures designed for the economic and political benefit of Israel at the expense of America and its citizens. It is here that Richard Perle and his ilk promoted an anti-Iraq U.S. foreign policy designed to invade that country - and this book was written in 1984. Nonetheless, its effect and policies still live with us.

Remarkably Prescient 1984 book

Saba called this book "The ARMAGEDDON Network" because he felt he had identified a group of powerful Americans who were unreservedly pro-Israel and supported a highly militaristic American foreign policy coupled with massive support for the Israeli military and Israeli foreign policy. He believed people like Richard Perle and his friend and colleague Stephen Bryen "consistently promote policies that will resurrect Armageddon as the final battlefield for the Middle East--and the world." This is an extremely well researched book and its information to noise ratio is very high; it gives much evidence and very little simply emotional rhetoric. For those who wish to understand what I believe to be perhaps the most serious foreign policy problem America has in 2006, its "special relationship" with Israel, this book is invaluable. Muslims do not "hate us for our freedom"; those that hate us do so largely because of our nearly unconditional support for Israel's mistreatment of the Palestinians.

History repeated

I first read The Armageddon Network twenty years ago when it was first published and find it unforgetful. It is the story of a senior US Government official passing secrets to Israel, but the crime was ignored even after verified in an FBI investigation. Worse, the perpetrator was promoted to the highest levels of the Department of Defense and given more responsibility and more access to vital secrets. Now we may watch the same story unfolding again in the case of Larry Franklin passing secrets to AIPAC currently being investigated. How will this play out? My bet is that Franklin will drop from the news and the case will never be tried. Jim Ennes Survivor, USS Liberty

Unsettling and frightening !

It is books like the Armageddon Network that make people sick, because it reveals how corrupt their government is. It also unveils the blatant arrogance of the self-serving elites and untouchables. The elites genuinely believe that the majority of the people are stupid, therefore, they can get away with anything. I think the majority of people are too afraid to see the truth, because it is extremely unsettling to go against one's own political socialization and training, and the alternative for that is denial. Denial makes a great coping mechanism. The Armageddon Network is a well documented and written expose. It is highly recommended for the curious mind!

A very unusual book that is true but won't be believed.

I read this book almost a year ago, and the reason I decided to write this was because I was surprised and glad to see it available in a mainstream source. The book is about a specific, terrifying incident of American statesmen illegally giving top secret American (military) information to Israel. The author is not a professional writer, so it has its flaws, however, one must admire the courage it took for him to write it. The establishment does not appreciate criticism against Israel, an issue which the book also touches on but not nearly in depth enough. Unfortunately, the book probably isn't believed by enough people
