A Special Agent Indeed!
This book is very difficult to put down once started.It amazes one to realize that one special agent, in a 14 year career, was involved in cracking the KGB code, identifying Klaus Fuchs as a spy, and bringing Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and their ring to justice.Robert J. Lamphere's book moves along quickly, and treats the investigations in sufficient detail without becoming dull.And having rubbed shoulders with J. Edgar Hoover, James Angleton, and British double agent Kim Philby, his first person reminiscences are fascinating.This is history that leaps off the page. ... Read more

One of those books you know no one will read
This is one of those books you know people in high places should read, but of course they never will. If they actually do, they of course will be thwarted in their efforts to implement any corrections that are pointed out by the book, because the institutional forces that are involved are way too powerful, and way to attached to their perks and spheres of power to shift any, even for reasons of National Security.
Pogo Lives at FBI--We Are Our Own Worst Enemies
Secret History with a Definite Point of View
This is an audacious, exhaustive, highly original book.I think it's fair to say that Riebling is somewhat biased toward the CIA and against the FBI, although perhaps not without some very good reasons (for instance, FBI diretcor J. Edgar Hoover clearly didn't understand counterintelligence; also, the FBI refused to do intelligence analysis).Read more

Definitive spy source book
After reading this book, I have no doubt Lee Lapin has the drop on the information gathering business.For those in the business, it is a well rounded guide for data access and equipment useage in conducting investigations.For the novice, it provides great insight and a useful tool for individuals doing their own investigations.A fun to read book cover to cover.I was very pleased with A1 books who sold the used book through the marketplace.The book was in great shape for used and looked brand new!

Interesting stuff. Unfortunately becoming quickly outdated
This book is full of information for those interested in spying, PI'ing and privacy issue buffs. Unfortunately, some if not most, of it's information is over eight years old and in dire need of an update. A thoroughly enjoyable look at spies and their toys
An articulate, at times irreverent but always fascinating look into the world of spies, gadgets, and gizmos.Mr. Lapin offers, in plain, friendly language, a straightforward look into the many aspects of spying, from bugs to people.He includes numerous sources to find more information, enough to make the reader's head whirl.Who KNEW there was this much information available and how to get it?Mr. Lapin, that's who, and he wanted everyone to be able to know about it.He even mentions material that is not open to the general public, but the point is, we now know it exists."A Resource Encyclopedia for Researchers, PIs, Spies, and Generally Nosy People," is the subheading and the book more than lives up to it. ...

Valuable original research on WWII intelligence gathering
Bill Macdonald has contributed valuably by sleuthing some of the past of the mythic character, Sir William Stephenson.
Thorough and balanced
MacDonald has successfully revealed much of the often clouded life of Intrepid, a man whose primary career goal was - of course - to remain in the shadows.The immensely likeable and non-descript Stephenson (Intrepid) was the penultimate spy: you wouldn't notice him in a crowd and if you did, you'd find yourself charmed and at ease.This side of the man has been overlooked in past books, but MacDonald reveals just how significant this particular trait is to an effective intelligence officer.In Stephenson, readers will learn how charm hid the great depths of intelligence, honor and violent resolve that made Intrepid a name to admire in the history of his profession.MacDonald also offers a highly-readable, compelling look at the events of Intrepid's life, keeping an admirable balance between objectivity and the thrills of a good story.David R. Bannon, Ph.D.; author "Race Against Evil."

Intriguing book on Intrepid
If the 20th century was to be represented by 4 or 5 individuals, William Stephenson would have to be one of them. By this I mean that his life was incredible. He would be worthy of an interesting biography in any of the lives that he led: a scientist, a businessman or a spymaster.Read more

An Excellent Collection of Reviews from Powers
This revised and expanded collection of Thomas Powers' reviews of books on intelligence and national security for the New York Review of Books is an excellent resource on a wide range of topics.Powers has a demonstrated knowledge of many aspects of the history of US intelligence gathering since World War II, and he shows it in this collection.
Interesting cold war history, weak on modern intelligence.
Despite the alluring subtitle boasting coverage from Hitler to Al-Qaeda, the bulk of the book (likely from the first edition - delineation of new material is not clear) is dedicated to cold war spying issues and the Soviet Union.Many of the stories covered of that time are done so in great detail, sometimes overly monotonous.As the book moves on, I was hoping to learn more about American intelligence efforts in other theaters, but the material is limited.Hitler, South American and the Middle East pre-9/11 are all given little attention and scant new information is available, even for a moderate follower of the subject.Further, as the coverage shifts more to the modern day and the post-9/11 world, the book takes on a sanctimonious tone on what, based on earlier writings on the subject, would still be considered limited information from the intelligence world.Material that likely makes up the revised edition appears sounds more of Monday morning quarterbacking thrown together quickly to take advantage of the current public interest.

BOOOOORING!
This book is not for people with an amateur interest in American secret intelligence.I didn't make it past the third chapter so my review is based on the first two in which the author discusses some underground operations that occurred during WWII and a failed conspiracy to kill Hitler.The book is compiled of a collection of writings that the author did for the New York Review of Books.In these essays, the author often throws out the names of 10 or 12 people in only a few pages and it is difficult to keep track of who they are and what they did... "Smith and Clark got together and met with Jameson.Then on the third day they went to see Johnson and Clark and Smith told Johnson about their meeting with Williams and bla, bla, bla"He just begins talking about them as if they were big names in American history and discusses their involvement in the subject being discussed.He also refers to them by last name only which makes it even more difficult to follow.He'll mention a name once and you won't see it again for 8 more pages and you have to go back and see who the hell he's talking about.Aside from this, which I found really annoying, the subjects being discussed are not that interesting.A whole chapter is devoted to whether or not some of the members of the Manhatten Project (those involved in building the atomic bombs used on attacks in Hiroshima and Nagasaki) may have been a communist.So what?He goes on and on for pages about one guy who had connections with communists in Russia.It's over and done with.Does it really matter 60 years later if a member of the Manhatten Project knew a communist?And when the author discusses a failed attempt to assassinate Hitler, he writes as if this was the only attempt made.I'm sure that at the time, several hundred, if not thousands of people were plotting to kill Hitler.This one teeny tiny incident he mentions wasn't even significant enough to make it into elementary school history books.I want to know about real exciting stuff like who may have killed JFK.And I don't want to know about a grocery list that some guy wrote who was the friend of a cousin of Lee Harvey Oswald's babysitter.This book would make good kindling for the fire, but I think I will try and sell it to a used book store in an attempt to get some of the money back that I wasted on it. ...

Editorial Review

Historian H. Keith Melton is a specialist in 20th-century espionage; he's also quite a fan of espionage gadgetry. Both interests make strong showings in this heavily illustrated glimpse into the shadowy world of modern spying. Melton examines the role of clandestine intelligence in revolutionary Russia and Nazi Germany, analyzes modern spy rings, and profiles a number of important figures in the demimonde of spooks, among them British code breaker Alan Turing and Yugoslav double agent Dusan Popov. He also showcases some astonishing hardware, ranging from suitcase radios to shirt button microphones and mechanical pencil pistols. Former CIA director William Colby and former KGB general Oleg Kalugin, who recruited the American traitor John Walker, contribute forewords. ... Read more

An interesting book.
This is really more a correction than a review."Bagman" states in his review that the Nagant revolver shown in the book could not be silenced because of the cylinder gap typical of most revolvers, which would let noisy expanding gases escape.With any other revolver, this would hold true, but the Nagant revolver's unique feature is its gas-seal design. All revolvers, upon firing, leak gas from between the chamber mouth and the forcing cone. The Nagant, however, was gas-tight, because of a unique mechanical arrangement where the cylinder is cammed forward upon cocking -- tucking the coned breach end of the barrel into the mouth of the aligned chamber and enclosing the mouth of the cartridge casing.The expanding super-hot gases generated by the discharge of the round would cause the case mouth to expand against the inside of the forcing cone, forming a gas-tight seal, conserving the expanding gases propelling the bullet, improving muzzle velocity, and allowing use of a muzzle-mounted noise suppressor or "silencer."

The Ultimate Spy Book
It is remarkable that the author has apparently accepted at "face value' representations of those from whom he has procured equipment that was represented as having been used by O.S.S., etc. For example, on page 13,and twice thereafter, he describes a ring used to conceal microdots. I do not know if he has ever handled microdots, but I have. They are tiny, hence the name, and are bleached so that they are utterly transparent to the naked eye,or even under 10x magnification. If they were to be concealed in such a cavernous device the chances of safe location and retrieval would be nil. Melton goes on to picture and describe a "silenced" Nagant revolver(page 27). Of course it is not possible to silence a revolver of this type as the explosive noise of the cartridge would seep out of the considerable space between the end of the cylinder housing the cartridges and the barrel. A silencer on the end of such a revolver would have no effect on noise reduction (obviously this fact escaped Melton's attention). The aluminum casting "brass knuckles" featured on page 145, were actually manufactured for the former Public Sport Shops in Philadelphia in 1957, where they were offered for public sale @ .50 cents each. The tear gas pen on page 149 was a commercial product available at shops in the U.S. through the late 60s. The mechanical pencil pistol pictured on page 151, where it is stated by the author that it fires the 6.35 mm cartridge, is actually a simple tear gas gun with a mechanical pencil on one end and the firing chamber on the other end. The one in the illustration is actually missing the end piece that holds the tear gas shell(no bullet)in place. These were actually made in the U.S. by Hagen Tear Gas Co.with U.S. Patents. If one were to attempt to fire the pistol with a full round, one one experience severe injuries. To be sure, there are many bona fide devices listed in the book, but one thing is clear, the author is merely a spectator and not a person with any real knowledge of the craft. I would refer those who seek authentic information on the subject to Dr. John Brunner, a retired O.S.S officer, and the author of several books on the subject of O.S.S. Weaponry. Brunner is truly an authority, who has done extensive personal research to complement his own acquired knowledge; he understands the trade craft in extraordinary detail, having lived it. I fear that Mr. Melton's credentials are far, far more limited, irrespective of his claims.

Maybe the best coffee table book on espionage
Keith Melton is well known in the community of espionage students and scholars for his interest in collecting artifacts and devices used in espionage. The work is beautifully illustrated with hundreds of photographs of spy gear, weapons, listening devices, concealed cameras, as well as famous and infamous agents, traitors, and informants. The informative text combined with the high-quality illustrations make this book itself a collectible item. A great gift item or personal purchase for anyone interested in the history of espionage. ... Read more

Internal Journals Declassified
A fascinating piece of history.It's not that we read important secrets, or even that the topics of these journal articles are current and relevant, but from a historical perspective, the insights and conclusions are a fun window into the CIA's world over the years.

No secrets, but a little window into how the agency operates
This Yale University Press publication is an insiders scorecard on how to collect information.Techniques for clandestine human intelligence gathering are reviewed in detail.The text even explores how internal CIA squabbling hurts U.S. intelligence gathering.The declassified articles from the agency's internal journal from 1955-1992 is mostly insider shop talk.My favorite chapter is VII, Counterespionage.Section eight of chapter three, psychology of treason is an ice-cold analysis.

A Fascinating Peek into the CIA's World
This series of essays shows CIA's thinking on a range of subjects that are eclectic and really interesting. Assessments of various forms of intelligence collection are included, trends in the agency's history, and many others. I especially found the chapter on the psychology of defectors and spies interesting and especially relevant. It's an older piece, but still current given the capture of Robert Hanssen and Aldrich Ames. ... Read more

Quick Review
1.Biggest problem with this book.Even for a short book the book is too long.It has too much information you don't want to know, and too little you do want to know.
What a dissappointment.
This book reads like a civics lesson for 7th graders.Atmosphere, texture and character development are pushed aside by oversimplifications and cliches (Freeh is described as "square-jawed").Juxtaposing Hanssen's story with Freeh's story is an amateurish device.Attempts at a psychological understanding of Hanssen lack depth, and ultimately collapse into pop psychology.In Hanssen's treachery there is an exciting, complex story to be told, but this book fails to do it justice.

The Director and a Secret Spy.
I think this is a nice read about the lives of two people in the F.B.I..One is the Director Louis Freeh and the other is Robert Hanssen who sold his country away.As some of the previous reviewers state, there are some small errors in this book (the Daley machine), but much of it gives a picture of two very different people.Both were smart, had six children, and were very religious Catholics.But both were very different.Robert Hanssen did incredible damage to U.S. security by what he sold the Russians, while Louis Freeh tried to make the F.B.I. a more effective counter terrorism machine.

Excellent aid to teaching history
This book is as useful today as when published ten years ago (1991).I searched for years for an easy-to-read explanation of the birth and application of United States political and military intelligence to supplement history instruction.Most history books totally ignore the influence of intelligence on national events and policy creating instead an illusion of brilliant insight by political leaders when too often political leaders ignore solutions clearly laid out.This book is exceptional for those interested in history and foreign affairs and to stimulate high school or university students studying history. It is not a text book, not exciting, but not a tome either. Reading level is about grade 11. The period covered is 1775 to 1964.This book does not include discussion of sophisticated technical intelligence post 1965.It's chief value is a lucid compendium of historical events in which intelligence played a decisive role in the course of United States history - failure and success. The summation of cryptologic intelligence is among the most accurate and clearly explained that I have read. The book is researched and cited to the highest academic standards, sources used throughout are mostly secondary, but the most prestigious.

Not a spy book, but a book about spies.
If you buy this book expecting spy stories, you're going to be disappointed.But it will be very interesting to those who follow the spy genre.It begins with stories about American Revolution spying and ends in the early 60's with CIA tales.There are many names dropped, and this may be the main value to some.It's interesting to read who has done intelligence work -- a Who's Who of the Who's Who. The book metemorphoses from a rather dry historical treatise at the beginning through other phases to a CIA-centered story at the end, no doubt because Mr. O'Toole was himself in the CIA.Lots of things here that you won't find collected elsewhere; well researched and well documented. ...

Pulling the curtain back just a little...
This book, by Antonio Mendez and his wife Jonna, is an intriguing memoir of two CIA employees at work during the closing years of the Cold War.Like most Cold War memoirs and histories, Spy Dust offers an insight into a small portion of the overall struggle between the USA and the USSR.As loyal CIA retirees, they don't really allow us to see all that much, but by pulling the curtain back just a little, the insight is fascinating.
Spy Dust: Two Masters of Disguise Reveal the Tools and Operations That Helped Win the Cold War
I have always been interested and very intrigued with our CIA and really learned a lot about the Agency by reading this book. Tony really has a gift of putting words together to really make you keep reading. I found both their lives very interesting and wish I could have did what they did. It certainly takes a lot of courage. And of course the job of a CIA agent is also very exciting. The bottom line being, keeping our country safe and free. God bless all the men and women risking their lives for our blessed country. And God bless America

An Extraordinary Tale of a Legendary CIA Duo
While reality is sometimes said to be stranger than fiction, leave it to CIA veterans Tony and Jonna Mendez to create a memoir of their overseas adventures that truly boggles the mind. Whether breaking into a Soviet installation to steal a code machine, exfiltrating a pair of agents out of Moscow with the help of a CIA "ninja," or inventing new methods of throwing off KGB surveillance, this dynamic duo still found time for love while performing their duties in a demanding career that leaves little personal time. It couldn't have happened to two better people.

Some good spy stories amidst a lot of complaining
If this was a collection of short stories it would be great. The disgruntled angle detracts from the stories, and is unsatisfying on its own merits.
One sided view.
As expected, anything coming from Victor Ostrovsky will be negative and against Israel. The book is filled with real events, which the author dramatically changed and turned Israel responsible for them. No wonder this book is banned in Israel. In fact, because of the ban, many people believe that this book has true accounts of Mossad activities. True, the book gets interesting, but the author's motive to run down the Israel for everything happening around the world spoils it. This book is a perfect example of blaming a country and its intelligence agency for your own mistakes. I absolutely agree with J. A Magill's review, this book has no credible source of information, except the fact that Ostrovsky once worked for Mossad.
Highly recommended
This book is best read along with its followup, The Other Side of Deception.The author is/was a true patriot who was honored to serve his country.He reveals many thrilling tales of derring-do, the grinding routine of spycraft and his shock and disillusionment with the personal corruption and immorality of many fellow agents.

EXTREMELY OUTDATE
This book is extremely outdated.It was outdated in 1993 when it was printed.The forms in the back of the book look like Genealogy forms.If you need a contract for service hire a attorney don't use his contract for service.
Good Information, But For A Very Specific Audience...
As a licensed private investigator and college instructor of private investigation courses, I have the utmost respect for the late Mr. Edmund J. Pankau, CLI, CPP, DABFE and his contributions to the private investigation profession, and was saddened to learn of his recent passing. Mr. Pankau has written some books of value regarding private investigation, and this one is of some (emphasis added) value.

Would have liked more substance and less rehash...
In this hastily prepared book it doesn't take long to discover that you are reading a manuscript written for those unfamiliar with Dawood Ibrahim and his operation.What I hoped to find was a detailed explanation of the inner-workings of the D-Company and the powerful hand which guides it from behind the intelligence cloak.Without a detailed knowledge of India and its history of strife between the Muslim and Hindu communities, it is difficult to understand where Ibrahim fits into the picuture.You're not going to get a clear understanding of the dealings of where Ibrahim's D-Company activities end and Intelligence groups like Pakistan's ISI begin.No elumination on the shadowy connections between the D-Company, ISI, Al-Qaeda and the CIA.These confusing alliances remain unresolved.In painting a picture of Ibrahim as a ruthless drug smuggling foreign mob boss with ties to terror organizations and foreign intelligence operatives, the average American citizens worst fears post 9-11 are realized. Lost focus
The book's name is a misnomer. Initially, it talks about how Dawood made his way upto the top in the shady underworld, but then the focus shifts from Dawood to Afganistan, Pakistan, CIA, ISI etc, and ends up in establishing the relationships between these entities. What role Dawood plays or is playing in these tie ups is not mentioned. Only few pages do justice to the book title.

Entertaining book on Dawood--one bad man!
Fascinating read.Initially, I thought some of the author's claims about Dawood Ibrahim were purely speculative--especially the nuclear black market chapter.But the Times of India recently did a story about this book and intelligence sources confirmed Dawood's involvement.This is frightening.
