This is one of the Jewish Biography Series. A biography of the woman who, during World War I, led an espionage group whose goal was to help free Palestine from Turkish rule. In 1917, the Ottomans intercepted her carrier pigeon decrypted the Nili code and arrested numerous people, including Aaronsohn. Her captors tortured her father in front of her. She endured four days of torture herself, but she gave no information. Before she was to be transferred to Damascus, she asked permission to return to her home in Zichron Yaakov to change her blood-stained clothes. While there, she managed to shoot and kill herself with a pistol concealed under a tile in the bathroom. Sarah Aaronsohn (January 1890 - 9 October 1917) was a member of Nili, a ring of Jewish spies working for the British in World War I. She is often referred to as the "heroine of Nili." On her way from Istanbul to Haifa, Aaronsohn witnessed part of the Armenian genocide. According to Chaim Herzog, Aaronsohn decided to assist British forces as a result of what she had witnessed. Aaronsohn, her sister Rivka Aaronsohn, and her brothers Aaron Aaronsohn and Alexander Aaronsohn, with their friend Avshalom Feinberg formed and led the Nili spy organization. Aaronsohn oversaw operations in Palestine of the spy-ring and passed information to British agents offshore. Sometimes she traveled widely through Ottoman territory collecting information useful to the British, and brought it directly to them in Egypt. Nili developed into the largest pro-British espionage network in the Middle East, with a network of about 40 spies.

Review slip laid in. Sidney Lens (1912-1986), also known by his birth name Sid Okun, was an American labor leader, political activist, and author, best known for his book, The Day Before Doomsday, which warns of the prospect of nuclear annihilation, published in 1977 by Doubleday. He also wrote a history of U.S. intervention abroad, The Forging of the American Empire, originally published in 1974 and republished in 2003 by Haymarket Books with a new introduction by Howard Zinn; and an autobiography, Unrepentant Radical. Formerly a member of Hugo Oehler's Revolutionary Workers League, Lens was active in retail worker unions in Chicago and in the anti-war movement during the Vietnam War. In 1967, he was among more than 500 writers and editors who signed the "Writers and Editors War Tax Protest" pledge, vowing to refuse to pay the 10% Vietnam War Tax surcharge proposed by president Johnson. Lens was an editor of The Progressive. In 1980, Lens was the Citizens Party (United States) candidate for United States Senate in Illinois. Details the race between the U.S. and the Soviet Union for superiority in atomic weaponry since the inception of the Manhattan Project in 1939, and analyzes the danger of unleashing phenomenally destructive weapons upon the world. "The Bomb" provides a comprehensive and extremely readable history of the world's march to nuclear catastrophe. The book's message is clear. The arms race has life and vigor beyond all reason, beyond all need, beyond all common sense. Informed and aroused citizens of the world, must assume leadership of global disarmament efforts. This book informs and arouses. It should be read by all who are concerned about the near certainty of nuclear war in their lifetime. Their survival, the survival of all mankind, is at stake. The author probes the politics behind the bomb, the attitudes and actions of government leaders and scientists toward the arms race. He tells of the many near misses when the US almost became embroiled in nuclear war, and gives a bird's-eye view of antinuclear protests.
