Countermeasures: A Dangerous Web of Misconception 5 reviews
Carol Randy
AuthorHouse, 2000
THRILLING WITH GREAT POSSIBILITIES AS A FEATURE FILM
This thriller has a lot of moving parts which keeps the action fast and furious. The confluence of circumstances and "Misconception" conspire to keep one turning the pages. The swiftness of the thrilling scenes would lend themselves to a great screen adaptation. It's one of those books you will read in one sitting because you just don't want to put it down. The interplay between the characters ...

ECCM design reference1 review
G. V Morris
Georgia Tech Research Institute, Georgia Institute of Technology, 1991
Excellent Book!
This book is written by an expert in the field in Irish archeology and it should be read by anyone who wants to know the truth of pre-Christian Ireland. Harbison's descriptions of the ancient artifacts, the tombs, the gold, the jewelry, are excellent for the information he gives on early Irish life. The Irish Bronze Age is particularly interesting. Although maybe not written for a general reader ...

Marine Security Management & Piracy Countermeasures2 reviews
David N. Kellerman
Crossed Arrows Publications, 1998
Personal recommendation
Very informative with lots of "inside" info. The appendix is packed with extra information and I found it nearly as useful as the book itself. Nice to see a book on this subject written without resorting to dramatics. The author's use of case histories where he was actually involved makes for interesting reading and drives the point home. I find that I keep gleaning more information from the book ...

But don't hyperventilate just yet. If you calmly analyze the desirability and vulnerability of your secrets, you can figure out how to protect yourself. McNamara's prose is surprisingly clear given the ...

W. Michael Gear
DAW, 1993
Realistic, gripping SF delving deep into the human condition
Michael Gear's *Forbidden Borders* trilogy concludes with this magnificent book.
The trilogy is fast paced; short chapters with no 'filler'. Each section has realistic, necessary action, dialogue, description, or other useful development. A saga spanning worlds, plunging the reader deep into interplanetary culture, the human condition, oh, and realistic SF! Believable faster-than-light travel, ...

Instruments of Darkness: The History of Electronic Warfare3 reviews
Alfred Price
Encore Editions, 1978
Instruments of Darkness
This book is no longer in print, and it is quite hard to come by at any price. It is, however, a very fine book on the origins of directional beams and radar. It is also a book about patient investigation, deduction, and rather understated courage in unpressurized, draughty aircraft in the cold night skies over Europe. It leaves the reader with the image of the navigator, barely out of high ...

Active Radar Electronic Countermeasures (Artech House Radar Library)1 review
Edward J. Chrzanowski
Artech House Publishers, 1990
Useful without being dense
I liked reading this explanation along with minimal math. It is as they say a robust book with clear and concise explanations. Some equations could stand some cross checking or corrections though.

The History of US Electronic Warfare. Volume III: Rolling Thunder Through Allied Force, 1964 to 20001 review
Association of Old Crows, 2000
Good Overview of EW History
I have all three volumes, all are good but volume III is my favorite.
Readable and not too technical, the book focuses mostly on AF and Army production EW systems. Naval aviation creeps in on occasion but the surface and subsurface systems get little attention. This book is
strictly about American systems, foreign systems are only discussed if they are part of the threat.
ELINT/SIGINT ...

Practical Hacking Techniques and Countermeasures2 reviews
Mark D. Spivey
Auerbach Publications, 2006
Above and Beyond
I have read many Security books and this one goes Above and Beyond all the
other books. All the Computer Security books I have read and seen teach
theory and this one does that and then he shows you the proof in the pudding
as he walks you through his Virtual Labs.

Improvised Radio Jamming Techniques: Electronic Guerrilla Warfare 3 reviews
Lawrence W. Myers
Paladin Press, 1989
Highly readable by a guy who knows his stuff
This book is for the man who thinks he might find it necessary some day to jam police or other radio systems. It is not overly technical or lacking technical details. In fact, it reads more like a combination of a how to book and a military manual. Some technical information is necessary. For example, if you don't know what an oscillator is or what it does in a receiver or transmitter, you ...

Jerry Joseph Heckman
Georgia Tech Research Institute, Georgia Institute of Technology, 1990
Plimpton Knows Best
George Plimpton, an accomplished writer and a fine raconteur, has gathered in this book all of his writings that he considered to be his best and each story is superb. His recounting of taking Marianne Moore to the baseball game is one of the most finely-crafted portraits of both Moore and Plimpton that I have had the pleasure of reading. Interestingly enough, the second account of meeting with ...

Excellent Book!
I have had the pleasure of reading Extrusion Detection: Security Monitoring for Internal Intrusions by Richard Bejtlich. Richard Bejtlich picks up where he last left off with his first book Tao of Network Security Monitor: Beyond Intrusion Detection. His new book deals with a subject that many businesses don't wish to think about, and what over 50% of attacks come from, Security breaches that ...

Implementing Intrusion Detection Systems: A Hands-On Guide for Securing the Network3 reviews
Tim Crothers
Wiley, 2002
Excellent introduction to IDS
Implementing Intrusion Detection Systems by Tim Crothers is an excellent introduction to the topics important to implementing any IDS. Crothers uses Snort as a reference IDS system, but the coverage of Snort is not intended to be comprehensive so if you plan to use Snort you will need an additional resource. Crothers does an excellent job of giving a very basic overview of underlying protocol ...

If you are designing, building and deploying Web based applications using Microsoft's .NET Framework run and get this book. Currently, there is no other book that can match the breath and depth of the topic covered in this book.

Sparks over Vietnam: The EB-66 and the early struggle of tactical electronic warfare1 review
Gilles Van Nederveen
College of Aerospace Doctrine, Research and Education, Air University ;, 2000
Often Ignored Story of EB-66 Operations During the Vietnam War
Since my father flew the EB-66 electronic warfare aircraft from Feb 1968 to Feb 1969 (out of Takhli AFB) I often have searched for information about this aspect of the Vietnam War. It has been a very frustrating search since I could find no books or magazine articles about these missions until I happened upon Gilles Van Nederveen's book "Sparks Over Vietnam". It is an excellant book explaining ...
