 Junk Novel July 28, 2008
Not much info you wouldn't have learned from an old spy movie. Not worth buying. My subject line calls it a novel because that's what the anecdotes seem to be. Might have a kernel of truth in them, but no more. Great for a Walter Mitty-type, but didn't see anything I couldn't figure out on my own.
 Good for life in general. December 31, 2005

It is sad to say that many of the techniques in this book REALLY do help out when dealing with evil co-workers and in-laws and such. If you want people to leave you alone, but can't figure out how...try blackmail! It may not be the Christian thing to do, but it works. Just remember to keep your own nose clean, and try to disengage yourself from circumstances that require the use of such tactics.
Remember: Use this information for defensive purposes only! (or else you'll be the evil one who needs to be blackmailed)

If you are realy believes that intelligence done by brave covert agents this book is for You . It's will break many of those myths you are believing in, You will discover that spys are recruited (!) from the target organization or even blackmailed for turning to spys AND NOT "inserted" into target organization by sophisticated covert operations. You will learn how CASE OFFICERS works, how they turn someone into spying, the tricks they use to work and cover they tracks and more more other usefull information. You will still have to find by youself a lot of other sorts of information (like surveillance and avoiding it) after you finish this book .BUT AS YOU WILL SEE YOUR POINT OF VIEW ON INTELLIGENCE GATHERING WILL BE COMPLETLY CHANGED-NOW YOU WILL SEE THING THROW ALMOST PROFFESIONAL EYES. I didn't mean that this book will replace 3 years of training in intelligence agency (like CIA or the Mosad), I mean that after You will finish this book You will discover how those agiences really works , and real word is differnt from the movies. It's good point to start , to open Your eyes after many years watching catoons abouts brave covert agents that spying the bad guys ...

This book does contain the real secrets beind how the spy trade works. On the news you often hear that a piece of information can't be declassified because it would give away the ways & means used to collect intellgence by the agency. This book contains those ways & means. Fear, lust and greed, exploiting human nature. How to find someones thumb screws and force him or her to become a spy for you. Spying is a dirty, dirty business; someone you've known for 20 years can turn out to be your worst enemy. As the old saying goes "Your worst enemy is always a friend."The author of this book also has another one titled HOW TO RUN A SAFE HOUSE. Again, packed with great information.These books do contain dangerous information if looked at from the right perspective. The 911 hijackers used the exact information contained in these books to set up shop, plan the job, operate safe houses, etc. all right under the noses of the FBI.Remember, a terrorist doesn't see himself as a terrorist. He sees himself as a secret agent. I would highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn the spy-craft tricks-of-the-trade.
 A good book for the uninitiated. August 16, 1999

This is a good book for learning how to recruit, run and handle spies. It's wise, but in my case it just summarized what I already knew.
