"Regardless of where the truth lies, Uri Geller is one of the most fascinating people of all time and has created a great debate. THE SECRET LIFE OF URI GELLER is such a great book and really brought some new things to light about the importance of Geller and how the government looked at him and utilized him." - www.ringsidereport.com (November 20, 2013)
Synopsis
New Biography Shows Celebrity Spoon Bender, Uri Geller, Secretly Worked for U.S. Intelligence Agencies This authorized biography of Uri Geller tells his life story and explores recent claims about his clandestine work with the CIA and the Israeli intelligence agency, the Mossad, during and after the Cold War. Geller is best-known for his Vegas-style act where he bends spoons, describes hidden drawings, and performs other paranormal feats. Technology journalist and former Time magazine correspondent, Jonathan Margolis, worked alongside Geller and Oscar-winning filmmaker Vikram Jayanti on the book, to be published October 15th Jayanti debuted a documentary at the Sheffield (UK) Film Festival commissioned by the BBC and entitled, The Secret Life of Uri Geller: Psychic Spy? Jayanti directed the Muhammad Ali documentary, When We Were Kings. "Now there is the internet and the NSA's ability to monitor massive amounts of chatter around the world," says Margolis. "40 years ago, however, intelligence agencies needed to explore way-out ways of monitoring the bad guys. The people I interviewed on-the-record for the book were adamant that Uri Geller wasn't only able to gather secret information remotely and perform other espionage tasks, but was extremely good at it." Throughout his career, Uri Geller has courted controversy. He is known globally as an entertainer and friend of pop star, Michael Jackson, who was best man at the renewal of Geller's wedding vows. He also made millions as a psychic adviser to the oil industry, but as a paranormalist was humiliated in a 1974 appearance on 'The Tonight Show' with Johnny Carson. And yet there are photographs from 1987 of Geller together with Al Gore, Yuli M. Vorontsov, First Deputy Foreign Minister of the Soviet Union, and several other high ranking US officials at nuclear arms limitation talks between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. What was Geller doing in these pictures? Margolis brings proof that Geller was there at the invitation of the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations committee to influence Vorontsov's to sign the treaty. There is also new testimony from a living senior former CIA official and others who worked for the Agency confirming that Geller was exhaustively laboratory tested on behalf of the CIA, and was used as an intelligence asset of the CIA and Defense Intelligence Agency - and that under President Carter's presidency, using psychics in intelligence matters was known about and accepted at the White House. Michael Mann, publisher at large for Watkins, said: "Uri is world-famous for mind reading and spoon bending but his work with the CIA and Mossad during the 60s and 70s as well as, it seems, in post 9/11 times, has until now remained secret. The Secret Life of Uri Geller tells the real story of his extraordinary life and his alleged continuing undercover work for the West's major spy agencies.", Is Uri Geller a CIA Masterspy? For over 60 years, spanning from his childhood to the Cold War to the current day, former Israeli paratrooper, Six Day War veteran and psychic Uri Geller has been a enigma. To many, he is an entertainer, a crackpot, a Hollywood hanger-on. Now, with his major new biography, journalist Jonathan Margolis takes us behind the scenes of Geller's public life to reveal his undercover work for the CIA, NSA, Mossad and the FBI. It is well known that from the early 1970s through to the mid-1990s, the CIA funded research into extrasensory perception, remote viewing, out-of-body experiences, and other psychic phenomenon. Who better to recruit than Uri Geller? His psychic abilities were repeatedly tested and verified by the Stanford Research Institute in California, and in one propaganda video, now available online, Geller is in an SRI conference room drawing a copy of a picture that has been hidden in a sealed envelope by an agent. In The Secret Life of Uri Geller , the seasoned journalist Jonathan Margolis traces hints left by Geller to tell the true story of how a poor boy from a broken family in the back streets of Tel Aviv went from being a playground sensation with strange powers to a bizarre player in the Superpower mind games of the 1970s, and who was later 'reactivated' after 9/11 for the notorious War on Terror.

The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
