...West Germans in general and Chancellor Helmut Schmidt in particular for dealing with Saudi Arabia and for supporting the Palestine Liberation Organization. Ignoring decades of attempted reconciliation and restitution, Begin charged in his diatribe that the Germans, in effect, were still Nazis at heart and had forgotten the Holocaust and their penitential obligation to Israel...

It is chock full of "intelligence reports," including this "critical piece of intelligence from Washington, D.C." Just after the election of Ronald Reagan, a clandestine session was held near DuPont Circle in the nation's capital. At that meeting, the cream of the old radical circuit sat down to plan out the formation of an "anti-Reagan" movement, modeled on the anti-war movement of past...
