Covert Avengers4 reviews
Jess Parker

PublishAmerica, 2003

More of the same....yippee!!
For those of us who enjoyed Parker's first novel "Detachment X-Ray"...it was like a reunion reading "Covert Avengers"...most appealing to this reader at least is the abundant use of dialogue that gives the feeling to the reader that they are right smack dab in the middle of the action. And there is always plenty of action in Parker's books. Outstanding!

Richard A. Falkenrath, Robert D. Newman, ...

The MIT Press, 1998

The Complete Guide to Understanding Bioterrorism
I picked up this book as a research tool for a paper. Not only did I find the book to contain everything I needed, I became so enveloped in the reality of what I was reading that I couldn't put it down. A fan of Tom Clancy novels, this book describes the harsh reality that we live in, while detailing both the strengths and the weaknesses of the US response to bioterrorism. A must read for ...
  
  











  



  
Covert Ops: The CIA's Secret War In Laos9 reviews
James E. Parker

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 1997

A Page Out Of History
I served as Chief of Security for Air America in Thailand and Vietnam from 1967-1975. I enjoyed "Mule's" book very much. For those who shared Jim Parker's experiences you will relive old memories. For those who could not be there you will find the details fascinating. I would encourage you to read this one.
  
  











  



  
Covert Matters7 reviews
Steve Dimodica

Johnson & Hunter, 2008

Great Read
Mr. Dimodica does an incredible job of taking a world that is often aggrandized by authors and makes it real. It is part novel and part educational experience--a rare occurence in today's traditional espionage literary genre. I read "Covert Matters" in less than two days and plan to go back to it a second time for further investigation. I definitely recommend this book to readers who like ...

Inside the PLO: Covert Units, Secret Funds, and the War Against Israel and the United States3 reviews
Neil C. Livingstone, David Halevy

Quill (Harper), 1991

Essential Reading To Comprehend Mid East
Written in 1990,one might think that this book is incredibly out of date and of little relevance. To the contrary, the book contains a wealth of information which is still extremely appropriate for our understanding of current events involving the PLO. The book describes how Yasser Arafat, after being driven out of Lebanon in 1982, travelled the World with all of the fanfare and honour normally ...

The Mystery of Cuba
Now at about 75 years old, Fidel Castro is in ailing health. Cuba's economy, as with most of the communist centrally planned economies, is at subsistence level. Average annual per capita income is about $1,500 per person. But still it survives. Two new books go a long ways towards explaining why. Don Bohning's "The Castro Obsession", talks about the secret (and not so secret) operations ...
  
  











  



  
The Complex: An Insider Exposes the Covert World of the Church of Scientology3 reviews
John Duignan, Nicola Tallant

Merlin Publishing, 2008

Can't stop the wave.
The above title refers to a phrase uttered in the movie "Serenity." It refers to the fact that the dictatorial government can't squelch information once it is out in the public domain. Apparently scientology is trying to get this book shut down by claiming defamation, blah, blah, blah...business at usual. This review may be removed..if that's the case so be it. Since Amazon is too chicken to ...
  
  











  



  
Gaslighting, the Double Whammy, Interrogation and Other Methods of Covert Control in Psychotherapy and ...4 reviews
Theodore L. Dorpat

Jason Aronson, 1996

There are many surprises in reading Gaslighting.
In this work, Dorpat sets out to rescue psychoanalysis and psychotherapy from the temptation to take covert control over the patient's mental life. Most often, such domination enters the consulting room unrecognized. There are, of course, some psychotherapeutic systems, such as behavior modification, in which control and shaping behavior are not bad words, but avowed objects. However, in ...

So That's What the CIA's Deadly Covert Operations Really Involved?
