Bitter Friends
Published by Samuel French Inc
8 Male 2 Female
The U.S. government had promised to give Israel this technology but reneged. Israel recruited David to steal it, a task he sees as following in the heroic footsteps of his father who fought for Israel in the 1948 war of independence
Rabbi Arthur Schaeffer, long time friend and comrade in arms of David's father, is politically well connected with the U.S. and Israeli governments and tries desperately to resolve the unresolvable: Israel will not acknowledge that it conspired to spy on the U.S. and David will not do anything damaging to Israel even if it means spending the rest of his life in jail
