Overview
A real-life adventure story told by a New York Times bestselling author and war correspondent who reveals how he became a hostage, an arms dealer, and an Israeli spy.
And the Rest Is History takes readers on a traveling circus from Paris to Beirut, Baghdad, and beyond, introducing them to spies and terrorists, arms dealers and crooks, and along the way reveals a few surprises about the secret underbelly of recent history you wonāt find in WikiLeaks. This book pinpoints precisely when the era of āfake newsā actually began in America, and will change the way you think about journalism and journalists.
It includes:
