About the Author
While working in Latin America and Southeast Asia for 20 years with one of the many different intelligence agencies of the United States, Jefferson Mack learned that governments are often the cause of humanity's problems but never the solution. He and the lady love of his life now live in their own safe house somewhere in the Northwest where they hunt, fish and live off the land while enjoying a world of computers, satellite TV, old pickups, chain saws and weapons ranging from bows and arrows and muzzle loaders to high-powered rifles with scopes designed for sniping.

This book does contain the real secrets beind how the spy trade works. On the news you often hear that a piece of information can't be declassified because it would give away the ways & means used to collect intellgence by the agency. This book contains those ways & means. Fear, lust and greed, exploiting human nature. How to find someones thumb screws and force him or her to become a spy for you. Spying is a dirty, dirty business; someone you've known for 20 years can turn out to be your worst enemy. As the old saying goes "Your worst enemy is always a friend."The author of this book also has another one titled HOW TO RUN A SAFE HOUSE. Again, packed with great information.These books do contain dangerous information if looked at from the right perspective. The 911 hijackers used the exact information contained in these books to set up shop, plan the job, operate safe houses, etc. all right under the noses of the FBI.Remember, a terrorist doesn't see himself as a terrorist. He sees himself as a secret agent. I would highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn the spy-craft tricks-of-the-trade.

A good book for the uninitiated.
This is a good book for learning how to recruit, run and handle spies. It's wise, but in my case it just summarized what I already knew.

Good for life in general.
It is sad to say that many of the techniques in this book REALLY do help out when dealing with evil co-workers and in-laws and such. If you want people to leave you alone, but can't figure out how...try blackmail! It may not be the Christian thing to do, but it works. Just remember to keep your own nose clean, and try to disengage yourself from circumstances that require the use of such tactics.
Remember: Use this information for defensive purposes only! (or else you'll be the evil one who needs to be blackmailed)
