3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad...good for gadget freaks, May 5, 2000
By A Customer
Covering a range of interesting gadgets, techniques and gizmos for the syy trade, this book does a decent job giving up-to-date coverage of some of the ways the CIA and other spy agencies have collected information over the years. It is filled with good pictures and descriptions, but short, I think on some of the newer items, which, I am guessing remain classified.

2.0 out of 5 stars CIA Catalog of Clandestine Weapons, July 15, 2010
Very little information that I could use. Zig-saw blade and a pair of glasses was not what I was expecting.
Very little information on chemical weapons.
I suppose I picked the wrong book.
