While working as a United States Naval civilian intelligence analyst in the 1980s, Jonathan Pollard sold some one million pages of classified material to Israel, doing "irreparable damage to the national defense of the United States," in the eyes of author Olive, who was serving as the assistant special agent in charge of foreign counterintelligence at the Naval Investigative Service's Washington, D.C., field office at the time of Pollard's arrest. In this book he sets out to clear up what he perceives as continuing misperceptions and uncertainties about Pollard's spying activities, arrest, and imprisonment, including those surrounding Pollard's confession, other involved countries, and the role played by the 46-page memorandum provided to the judge by Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger in Pollard's sentencing.
