Dear Sir, my name is John Loftus. I was formerly a prosecutor for the Attorney General, and have written or co-authored four histories of espionage. My most recent book, The Secret War Against the Jews, was published this year by St. Martin's Press. Although I obtained CIA clerarance for the manuscript, the book appears to have been completely banned in Great Britain (despite extremely favorable reviews and even front page news coverage). The book won high praise in Israel, Australia, and most of Europe, but seems to have fallen through the cracks over hear. Perhaps it is a bit too embarrassing for Americans to admit that we ran some rather shoddy operations against our Jewish ally in the Middle East. In fact, I have not received a single review in the regular media. That is quite odd, as usually my books are featured on 60 Minutes, Prime Time, or Larry King. Am I the author of a banned book? As we go into our second printing, I hope that mine may be the first best !
seller never to have been reviewed. Bit odd, don't you think. Pardon the typing, I am quite new to the web.
