Ironically, Ostrovsky predicted that the right-wing elements in the Mossad he was battling, would aid Hamas in an electoral victory, which would predictably de-stabilise the region.
After publishing his books, Victor became an active painter in the art community of Scottsdale, Arizona where he and his wife Bella currently reside and operate their gallery "Ostrovsky fine art" and the "Cappucci" coffee bar on Main Street.

Ostrovsky is not American; however, anyone who takes the time to study these books, including the roman a clef LION OF JUDAH, will realize that he has presented the intellectual means for Americans to discern what is only now appearing on the web under the disturbing website http://www.letsroll911.org/.
Ostrovsky ignores the professional writer's rule that you don't advance a story in your character's quotes.
Ostrovsky was fighting against time in the early 90s to get his story out before the Mossad figured out a way to eliminate him.

 Book Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Victor Ostrovsky, author of "By Way of Deception", was a high-ranking member of the Mossad, Israel’s ultra-secret intelligence department similar to the CIA, for several years before his sudden departure due to finding himself the fall guy for an embarrassing oversight by his superiors.
Ostrovsky also had some interesting things to say about the Holocaust: “I know the Holocaust was one of the gravest things to ever have happened to the Jews: Bella’s (his wife’s) father, for one, spent four years in Auschwitz and most of her family was eliminated by the Germans.
Ostrovsky recounts various instances where the Mossad sought to prevent any peace initiative between the Palestinians and the Israeli government, by giving false information to the CIA about Palestinians preparing for a major war against the Israelis, when during those times this was indeed false information.

Many of the unresolved issues are summarized and contextualized in an article on the affair by Victor Ostrovsky, a former Mossad case officer now based in Canada, who claims that "Rabin was murdered in a well-orchestrated assassination carried out by extremist right-wing officers of the Shabak.
Ostrovsky believes that the Netanyahu government released the secret information in the wake of its own intelligence fiasco in Amman, Jordan in September 1997, "in order to prove the responsibility of the Shabak for the murder" [of Rabin].
Ostrovsky believes that a plot was hatched by the Shabak for "a controlled release of hostility." The Shabak planned that Amir would believe he was going to kill Rabin, but would instead be given blank bullets.

Meir Shnitser, who is always ready to fight, in the name of freedom of speech, for the right of every Palestinian to preach for the destruction of the state of Israel, wants to prevent my right to express my opinion in public.
And not because this would be a sweet revenge, but because for its own sake Mossad cannot afford to let someone who was its agent of his own free will profit from selling state secrets, even if most of the things he says are lies.
It would be preferable, of course, to kidnap Ostrovsky, as Eichman was kidnapped or as Vanunu was.

I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of negative reviews of this book were not the work of some of his former colleagues, or 'ordinary' citizens engaged to write for them.
Ostrovsky's account fills in the nagging questions the various accounts presented at the time, and confirm what I was hearing under the table as suspicions from our intelligence sources.
