Intelligence/Counter Intelligence: "Operation Trade Craft"

1 review
Cloyd White

AuthorHouse, 2005

Tradecraft and Experience Come together in a bad copy
Not being an Intelligence Professional, myself, I can only state my opinion on the matter of this book. That's the disclaimer. The Pros: This book I found informative in the way that military training manuals are informative. It is very bare-bones about its subject, and it is comprehensive. Packed within 127 pages (nearly half of which is overview and introduction!) you will be exposed ...

The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade

10 reviews
Alfred W. McCoy

Lawrence Hill Books, 2003

Well Done, Dr. McCoy!
Professor Alfed McCoy has here rendered a very important contribution to the overall understanding of United States policy in the post-World War II era. This thoroughly documented and well written text illustrates CIA complicity in the narcotics trade from the Golden Triangle of Southeast Asia, to the mountains of Afghanistan, and finally to the highlands of the Andes. Other authors who write ...

Athan Theoharis

Ivan R. Dee, Publisher, 2002

A fantastic book
I used this book for an undergraduate course on U.S. intelligence history at a very selective college and it was universally well-received. The book presents a comprehensive treatment and assessment of FBI counter-intelligence dating back to the 1930's. This is a shadowy subject since the crime-fighting "celebrity" cases of the 30's (See: Bryan Burroughs' _Public Enemies) have always ...

The Hunt for Nazi Spies: Fighting Espionage in Vichy France

2 reviews
Simon Kitson

University Of Chicago Press, 2007

Intriguing and very accessible
This is a really fascinating book which goes well beyond just the question of espionage and counter-espionage. It offers an entirely new take on the Vichy government and its relationship with the Germans by showing that inspite of extensive collaboration the regime struggled to maintain its sovereignty through the arrest of German spies. Anyone interested in espionage or the Second World War will ...

The Man Who Never Was: World War II's Boldest Counter-Intelligence Operation

9 reviews
Ewen Montagu

Bluejacket Books, 2001

First hand account of a brilliant espionage campaign
Modern novellists would never have thought of this simple yet highly complicated plan to deceive the Germans during World War II. This book is written by Ewen Montagu who actually undertook the whole operation. Due to the fact of its high secrecy it could not first be revealed until the Mid-1950's when the first edition came out. Even then the full story could not be told for one of the other ...

Vengeance: The True Story of an Israeli Counter-Terrorist Team

1 review
George Jonas

Simon & Schuster, 2005

An eye-opener on the nature of counter-terrorism
I read "Notes on a controversy" at the end of the book first, because this justification of the text by the author deals with the issue of veracity. The book has apparently been attacked on this score, and of course the very nature of the subject excludes the possibility of total and certain verification of all the facts, but the author makes a convincing case of the techniques he used in ...

Drugs, Oil, and War: The United States in Afghanistan, Colombia, and Indochina

11 reviews
Peter Dale Scott

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc., 2003

Superb study of US state's use of mercenary drug-runners
This is an outstanding and revelatory book, a brilliant account of a drug-trafficking empire. He shows how US protection for their drug-runner allies has led to the huge increase in drug trafficking in the last 50 years. The US strategy of opposing national self-determination involves alliances with drug-traffickers like the Sicilian Mafia, the Triads in South-East Asia, the Contras in ...

The threat of terrorism is destined to be with us for ever and the national military, police and security forces need to arm themselves with specialist equipment if their work is to be effective on our behalf. The range of materiel, from clothing, security equipment and observation kit to firearms, is extensive and international, and constantly changing as technological advances have their effect.

America's Secret Army: The Untold Story of the Counter Intelligence Corps

1 review
Ian Sayer, Douglas Botting

Franklin Watts, 1989

I know how Amazon reviews are notorious for five stars...
But what other book starts out with a disclaimer stating that the original authors disappeared with archives and source material? Read about THE intelligence organization that has origins in WWII, was staffed with brilliant minds like J.D. Salinger and Julia Childs and hints at the existence of night vision technology before 1945 (by the Nazis). It's not a conspiracy theory compendium. This is ...

Web Data Mining and Applications in Business Intelligence and Counter-Terrorism

10 reviews
Bhavani Thuraisingham

CRC, 2003

Excellent overview
While there is somne repetition, this book provides an excellent overview of data mining and its applications to counter-terrorism. My only comment is that the book could have had a better introduction to counter-terrorism. Nevertheless the book will be very useful to anyone who wants to understand data mining and apply to security applications.
