Shimon Peres (born Szymon Perski; 2 August 1923 – 28 September 2016) was an Israeli politician who served as the ninth President of Israel (2007–2014), the Prime Minister of Israel (twice), and the Interim Prime Minister, in the 1970s to the 1990s. He was a member of twelve cabinets and represented five political parties in a political career spanning 70 years. Peres was elected to the Knesset in November 1959 and except for a three-month-long hiatus in early 2006, was in office continuously until he was elected President in 2007. When he retired in 2014, he was the world's oldest head of state and was considered the last link to Israel's founding generation. He was chosen as a protégé by David Ben-Gurion. He held several diplomatic and military positions during and directly after the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. His first high-level government position was as Deputy Director-General of Defense in 1952, and Director-General from 1953 until 1959. In 1956, he took part in the historic negotiations on the Protocol of Sèvres described by British Prime Minister Anthony Eden as the "highest form of statesmanship". In 1963, he held negotiations with U.S. President John F. Kennedy, which resulted in the sale of Hawk anti-aircraft missiles to Israel, the first sale of U.S. military equipment to Israel. Peres was Prime Minister from 1984 to 1986. As Foreign Minister under Prime Minister Rabin, Peres engineered the 1994 Israel–Jordan peace treaty, and won the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize together with Rabin and Yasser Arafat for the Oslo Accords peace talks.

New York, N.Y. Shapolsky Publishers, 1989. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. 261, [5] pages. Includes Acknowledgments, Foreword, Glossary, and Index. Also contains an Epilogue: Could I Happen Again?, to which the author replies that it certainly can, but never the same way it did in the Thirties and Forties. William R. Perl (21 September 1906 – 24 December 1998) was a Prague-born American lawyer and psychologist who was the chief interrogator during the Malmedy massacre trial. Perl continued his study of psychology at Columbia University and then served as an army psychologist until his retirement with the rank of Lt. Colonel in 1966. Perl became the leader of the Washington, D.C. branch of the Jewish Defense League in the 1970s, and received international media attention for his protests against persecution of Jews by the Soviet Union. He organized demonstrations outside and inside the Soviet Embassy and at public events involving Soviet officials. More

Includes Acknowledgments, Foreword, Glossary, and Index. Also includes chapters on Conspiracy. The Psychoscocial Context; Setting of the Course: The Fiasco of the Evian Conference: An American-British Conspiracy; Conspiracy in the American Hierarchy; Conspiracy in the American Hierarchy; Conspiracy in the British Hierarchy; Soviet Policies that Supported the Final Solution--Photographs and Documents; How the Allies Kept Auschwitz Operating; The other Americas. Latin America-Canada; The Moral Powers. The Vatican, The International Red Cross. Switzerland; and Epilogue: Could It Happen Again?. By combining existing research with previously unknown findings, Dr. Perl draws the inescapable conclusion that it was not apathetic inaction of the world's powers which made the Holocaust and the Final Solution so radically effective. The author uses extensive documentation to convincingly prove it was deliberate action on the part of many nations that kept millions of those destined for murder, prisoners in a hostile Europe. These deliberate actions are conclusively shown to result from conspiracies within individual governments as well as between governments. More
New York: Frederick Unger Publishing Co., 1983. Revised and Enlarged Edition [stated], First Paperback edition [stated]. Trade paperback. viii, 414, [10] pages. Foreword by Menachem Begin. Maps. Illustration. Footnotes. Appendix. Index. Inscribed and dated by the author on the half-title page. William R. Perl (21 September 1906 – 24 December 1998) was a Prague-born American lawyer and psychologist who was the chief interrogator during the Malmedy massacre trial. William R. Perl was born to a textile merchant in Prague on September 21, 1906, in what was then the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He earned a Ph.D. in law and a master's degree in international business. He became deeply immersed in the growing Zionist movement. Perl established a successful law firm in Vienna after graduating and practiced law there until the Nazi take-over in 1938. Perl was a protégé of the Revisionist Zionist movement of Vladimir Jabotinsky. He participated in the movement during the 1930s as it became increasingly active against the NSDAP. In 1938 he organized "Die Aktion," a circle of young Viennese Zionists dedicated to making Theodor Herzl's dream of an independent Jewish state a reality. Less than a year later, Die Aktion succeeded in landing a number of Jewish immigrants on the coast of then Mandatory Palestine (now Israel). This is believed to have been the first successful landing of such refugees, when almost every other escape route had been closed to them. Perl continued to work with Zionist groups and Greek smugglers, organizing large-scale illegal immigration of Jews to Palestine and prodding reluctant Jewish leaders into doing the same. Perl rescued an estimated forty thousand Jews from Nazi occupied Europe. More

Joan Peters (née Friedman; April 29, 1936 – January 5, 2015), was a journalist and broadcaster. She wrote the 1984 book From Time Immemorial, a controversial account of the origins of the Palestinians. In the 1970s and early 1980s, Peters wrote for magazines and was a consultant in the creation of CBS news documentaries in 1973 about the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, and provided commentary on the subject for PBS. Her dedication to the cause of Israel may have been triggered by a visit in the 1970s to the Soviet Union, where officials treated her and her husband with suspicion. According to the Walker Agency, which booked speaking and touring engagements for her, Peters also served as an adviser to the White House on American foreign policy in the Middle East during the Carter administration. In From Time Immemorial (1984), she argued that Palestinians are largely not indigenous to modern Israel and therefore have no claim to its territory. The book, a bestseller, became controversial. Scholars and writers such as Norman Finkelstein, Noam Chomsky, Edward Said, Yehoshua Porath. and Ian and David Gilmour criticized it. Shortly before her death, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, Ron Prosor, telephoned to convey to her that Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu was deeply grateful for her work. More

Oreste Pinto (9 October 1889 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands – 18 September 1961 in London, England) was a Dutch counterintelligence officer and Lieutenant-Colonel. His activities during the Second World War, in which he worked with MI5 interrogating refugees to England, resulted in the capture of eight spies. During the Second World War, Pinto was an MI5 interrogator. He interviewed over 30,000 immigrants to the UK at the euphemistically named "London Reception Centre" in the Royal Victoria Patriotic Building in Wandsworth. In 1952, Pinto published two books, Spy-catcher and Friend or Foe? These formed the basis of the 1959-1961 BBC television series Spycatcher, and also an earlier BBC Radio series, in both of which he was portrayed by Bernard Archard. A further book, Spycatcher 2, based on the series, was published in 1960. The 1962 Dutch programme De Fuik, in which Pinto was portrayed by Frits Butzelaar, was also derived from them. Dwight Eisenhower once described Pinto as "the greatest living authority on security". The Daily Telegraph referred to him as a "human bloodhound". Pinto's career in intelligence began in 1913, when he was recruited by the Deuxième Bureau. He characterized himself as basically a generalist, with a knack for learning languages, skill in boxing and shooting ("I managed to reach amateur international standard,"), and being an excellent bridge player and a "local" zoologist.
