Tel Aviv (JTA) — A cam-
paign to discredit the author
of a book exposing alleged
activities of the Israeli for-
eign intelligence agency
Mossad seemed to be taking
shape here last week after
the Israeli Embassy in Ot-
tawa got a court order tem-
porarily blocking the book's
publication in Canada.
While officials confirmed
that the author, Canadian-
born Victor Ostrovski, had
been employed by Mossad
during the mid- 1980s, they
said he had been found
"unfit for the service" and
that he returned to Canada
after 18 months as a trainee.
The officials said Israel
seeks to bar publication of
the book because the author
wrote it in contravention of
the official secrets oath
which he took when he
became associated with
Mossad.
They refused to comment
on the allegations contained
in the book but insisted their
truth or falsity was not the
issue.
The Canadian ban was
handed down on grounds
that Ostrovski, who holds
dual Canadian and Israeli
citizenship, violated the
secrecy clause of the contract
he signed with Mossad.
The book is titled By Way
of Deception: A Devastating
Insider's Portrait of Mossad.
Ostrovski wrote it in col-
laboration with Canadian
journalist Claire Hoy.
Publication was scheduled
for October by Stoddart
Publishing Co. Ltd. of
Toronto.
Meanwhile, Israelis who
claim to have worked with
him in civil life described
Mr. Ostrovski as an erratic
personality with a vivid
imagination.
They said he ran afoul of
the law because of bad debts
and his alleged involvement
in the forging of credit cards.
Isser Harel, a former chief
of Mossad and of the internal
security service Shin Bet,
contended in an interview
that Mr. Ostrovski was
motivated by greed and a
personal vendetta when he
wrote his book.
Mr. Harel is himself the
author of dozens of books
based on his Mossad experi-
ences, including The House
on Garibaldi Street, an ac-
count of the kidnapping of
Nazi war criminal Adolf
Eichmann by Israeli agents
in Buenos Aires in 1960.
But according to Mr.
Harel, all of his published
works were first reviewed by
