Spies: The Secret Agents Who Changed the Course of History
Acclaimed author Ernest Volkman strips away the myths and Hollywood hype to reveal the human drama behind "the worlds second oldest profession" espionage. Here are the men and women whose daring feats of subterfuge have, for better
or worse, irrevocably altered the course of history:
* "Counterfeit Traitor" Eric Erickson, the American businessman who, posing as a Swedish Nazi, helped stanch the flow of oil to Hitlers war machine and end the war in Europe.
* Fritz Kauders, the Viennese Jew who went from being a
smalltime confidence trickster to being one of Germanys most valued spies and a Soviet double agent.
* Amy Thorpe, the gorgeous American debutante turned superspy.
* British agent 17F, Ian Fleming, author of some of the most outrageous (and effective) "dirty tricks" in the annals of
espionage.
* Dutch housewifeturnedburlesquedancerturnedsecretagent Margareta Zelle, a.k.a. Mata Hari, who, contrary to popular belief, was neither beautiful nor a very good spy
* Brilliant Soviet superspy Richard Sorge, whose intelligencegathering operation in Japan balked Nazi Germanys attempt to
seize Moscow.
ERNEST VOLKMAN, formerly a prizewinning national correspondent for Newsday, has been a journalist for more than thirtyfive years. He specializes in the dark world of espionage, a subject about which he has written hundreds of articles and several books, including Secret Intelligence and Warriors
of the Night. Mr. Volkman has served as consultant for several foreignproduced documentaries dealing with espionage, including works for Great Britains ITV and BBC, and he has appeared on various American news programs, including Nightline and Today.

Whos Watching the Spies?: Establishing Intelligence
Service Accountability
Given recent experiences with terrorism, clearly even the most democratic societies have a legitimate need for secrecy. This secrecy has often been abused, however, and strong oversight systems are necessary to protect individual liberties.
The assembled authors, each well known in the
international community of national security scholars, bring together in one volume the rich experience of three decades of experimentation in intelligence accountability. Using a structured approach, they examine the strengths and weaknesses of the intelligence systems of Argentina, Canada, Germany, Norway,
Poland, South Africa, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States. While these democracies have experimented with methods to make intelligence more accountable, they all have different political systems, political cultures, legal systems, and democratic traditions, thereby presenting an exceptional
opportunity to examine how intelligence accountability evolves under disparate circumstances. The contributors draw together the best practices into a framework for successful approaches to intelligence accountability, including a prescription for a model law.

The Sword And The Shield: The Mitrokhin Archive
And The Secret History Of The Kgb
The Sword and the Shield is based on one of the most extraordinary intelligence coups of recent times: a secret archive of toplevel KGB documents smuggled out of the Soviet Union which the FBI has described, after close examination, as the "most complete and
extensive intelligence ever received from any source." Its presence in the West represents a catastrophic hemorrhage of the KGBs secrets and reveals for the first time the full extent of its worldwide network.Vasili Mitrokhin, a secret dissident who worked in the KGB archive, smuggled out copies of
its most highly classified files every day for twelve years. In 1992, a U.S. ally succeeded in exfiltrating the KGB officer and his entire archive out of Moscow. The archive covers the entire period from the Bolshevik Revolution to the 1980s and includes revelations concerning almost every country in the
world. But the KGBs main target, of course, was the United States.Though there is topsecret material on almost every country in the world, the United States is at the top of the list. As well as containing many fascinating revelations, this is a major contribution to the secret history of the twentieth
century.Among the topics and revelations explored are: The KGBs covert operations in the United States and throughout the West, some of which remain dangerous today. KGB files on Oswald and the JFK assassination that Boris Yeltsin almost certainly has no intention of showing President Clinton. The KGBs
attempts to discredit civil rights leader in the 1960s, including its infiltration of the inner circle of a key leader. The KGBs use of radio intercept posts in New York and Washington, D.C., in the 1970s to intercept highlevel U.S. government communications. The KGBs attempts to steal technological secrets
from major U.S. aerospace and technology corporations. KGB covert operations against former President Ronald Reagan, which began five years before he became president. KGB spies who successfully posed as U.S. citizens under a series of ingenious disguises, including several who attained access to the upper
echelons of New York society.

Seduced by Secrets: Inside the Stasis SpyTech World
More fascinating than fiction, Seduced by Secrets takes the reader inside the real world of one of the most effective and feared spy agencies in history. The book reveals, for the first time, the secret technical methods and
sources of the Stasi (East German Ministry for State Security) as it stole secrets from abroad and developed gadgets at home, employing universal, highly guarded techniques often used by other spy and security agencies. Seduced by Secrets draws on secret files from the Stasi archives, including CIAacquired
material, interviews and friendships, court documents, and unusual visits to spy sites, including "breaking into" a prison, to demonstrate that the Stasi overestimated the power of secrets to solve problems and created an insular spy culture more intent on securing its power than protecting
national security. It recreates the Stasis secret world of technology through biographies of agents, defectors, and officers and by visualizing James Bondlike techniques and gadgets. In this highly original book, Kristie Macrakis adds a new dimension to our understanding of the East German Ministry for State
Security by bringing the topic into the realm of espionage history and exiting the political domain.

Encyclopedia of Espionage, Intelligence and Security
I think the set overreaches in that it tries to cover too much material in three volumes. I think that compressive coverage of narrower focus would have
been better than shorting really important political issues such as the potential for manipulation of the bacterial and viral genomes by governments to start pandemics in targeted racial or ethnic groups. There are some otherwise good science articles that fail to even hint at the still unknown the extent of
the U.S. governments invasion into personal privacy. But I am most disappointed that the authors kept to the "official" historical line on the role of intelligence agencies in matters such as the Kennedy assassination. Other conspiracies, and the facts supporting them, are also ignored or
glossed over in favor of science and technology articles that lose sight of the grander manipulation of intelligence by governments for political gain. While the book lists suspected terrorist organizations, the terrorist actions of the U.S. government and its sometimes allies are also ignored. Younger
readers and the general public would be better served by a brighter light on the dirty corners into which secrets are sometimes swept.

Understanding Surveillance Technologies: Spy Devices, Privacy, History, & Applications, Revised and Expanded Second Edition
Understanding Surveillance Technologies
demystifies spy devices and describes how technology is used to observe and record intimate details of peoples livesoften without their knowledge or consent. From historical origins to current applications, it explains how satellites, pinhole cameras, cell phone and credit card logs, DNA kits, tiny
microphones (bugs), chemical sniffers, and implanted RF/ID chips have enabled us to create a twoedged sworddevices that promise security while, at the same time, eroding our privacy.
Understanding Surveillance Technologies is profusely illustrated with extensive references and indexes, laying the groundwork
for more specialized texts on specific technologies. It covers each of the major sensing devices and explains how they are used in civilian, criminal justice, scientific, national security, and military applications. It also includes recent changes in legislation and the organization of the intelligence
community, and discusses how equal access to hightech sensing devices and encryption schemes has changed society.
Understanding Surveillance Technologies is modular, so the chapters can be read in any order, and is written in an accessible, somewhat narrative style, to suit the needs of
journalists/newscasters, privacy organizations, educators, civic planners, and technology centers. It is appropriate as an adjunct reference for criminal justice/law enforcement/military, and forensic trainees, and as a textbook for courses in Surveillance Studies, Sociology, Communications, and Political
Science. Now in its second edition, with 1,000 pages and more than 700 diagrams, it is still the only text that comprehensively conveys the breadth of the field.

How To Be A Spy World War II Special Operations Executive (SOE)
During World War II, training in the black arts of covert operation was vital
preparation for the ungentlemanly warfare waged by the Special Operations Executive (SOE) against Hitlers Germany and Tojos Japan. Reproduced here is the most comprehensive training syllabus used at SOEs Special Training Schools (STSs) showing how agents learnt to wreak maximum destruction in occupied
Europe and beyond. The training took place in country houses and other secluded locations ranging from the Highlands of Scotland to Singapore and Canada. A staggering array of unconventional skills are covered from burglary, close combat and silent killing through to propaganda, surveillance and disguise
giving unprecedented insight into the workings of one of World War IIs most intriguing organizations. Denis Rigdens expert introduction sets the document in its historical context and includes stories of how these lessons were put into practice on actual wartime missions.
