Miscarriage of Justice: The Jonathan Pollard Story is a gripping account of an infamous prosecution by a vindictive government. . . . The life sentence not only reneged on promises that had been made for confession but were entirely out of proportion to the offense. That President Clinton pardoned Mark Rich . . . and left Pollard in jail is an absolute disgrace." -- Morton A. Kaplan, University of Chicago, and publisher, The World & I magazine
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.
In Miscarriage of Justice, attorney and author Mark Shaw delivers an in-depth portrait of the fascinating case that includes fresh background material and behind-the-scenes facts on why Pollard was sentenced to life in prison, the allegations that President Clinton reneged on promises to free the spy, comparisons of Pollard's sentence with other noted spies and with cases involving the infamous Alfred Dreyfus and atomic bomb spy, Theodore Hall, and an assessment of Pollard's chances to be freed from prison.
