The Spycraft Manual is unique. There has never been a book that reveals the secret tradecraft techniques used by spies the world over. Until now. Intelligence in the field of counter-terrorism is a different and; in many aspects; arduous and dangerous task. The lives of many agents are in continuous danger. The rules of the game are cruel—as moral and ethical considerations are negated by the bullet. There is no honor between rivals on the streets of Beirut or Baghdad—only the most quickwitted survive. A modern spy must blend in; live among the enemy; speak the language; befriend; and exploit the enemy at very opportunity. They are required to be streetwise; rough; tough; and ruthless.

Just not my type.2 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Bias; exaturated; and convincingBy booksonmountainI had the "opportunity" to take a "racism" class with Professor Fenelon (forwards page vii and iv) who uses this book as required text.The main theme of the book is that the dominant/privileged "white" (man usually) yields an ever growing paintbrush that he uses to mask the entire country with his racist dominance. Thus; no matter if you do not believe yourself to participate in some form of racist thinking; no matter your race; the white paint has already enveloped the country--and you as well. He indirectly makes the point that even races other than white use the white paintbrush to demote those who are different in their own race and other races on the hierarchical scale.The book also makes the point that the racist people who are described in the testimonies are actually the spokespersons for the rest of the "true white ideology;" or are they are the direct effect of corruption by the white ideology. Those who are not as vocal don't necessarily disagree with the comments and beliefs but are only silent because of fear of obtaining the title of "racist."Frankly; the book is over the top. The testimonials are all very similar and (sorry if you don't believe me) exaggerated. Is there still racism in America--yes; has the government and the society been actively fighting against discriminatory actions--yes; will racism ever die out--no.The problem I have with this book is that it depicts the white race as being inherently evil. Where all the negative comments made by whites are evidence enough for labeling themselves as victims. There are numerous accounts depicting the dominant white run society negatively effecting children and students and spouses and parents and siblings.....No matter what way you turn it the white man is at fault for someones hurt feelings.The solutionTHe white man needs 1)to overcome denial 2)become aware of privilege 3) the minorities need to stop hating themselves 4) everyone needs to become aware of self involvement.
