I have read several books on this topic in the past. I found this book to be very interesting and easy reading. It contained excellent information applicable for anyone involved in the field of interviewing.

The book was very well organized, and answered many questions for even a trained interviewer/interrogator.

I would highly recommend it for anyone in the fields of intelligence, law enforcement, private investigations or polygraph.

Nathan J. Gordon, et al have authored an outstanding publication which is well documented, authoritative, well organized, and an easy read as well as a page turner. This reviewer,who has authored several textbooks on polygraph testing, highly recommends this book to anyone involved in the art and science of interviewing and interrogation.

This is an excellent book for anyone in Law Enforcement. Truly a remarkable text book regarding Interviewing and Interrogation.

It is easy to read with numerous real life examples of successful interviews and interrogations.

I have just finished reading this book and I am thoroughly impressed with it's attention to detail, usable procedures, and overall organization. It was a very quick read, and I now feel like an expert in the art of interrogation. I am already confidently putting these new techniques into practice and seeing results. If your goal is attaining the truth in an interview situation, buy & read this book.

A brilliant and comprehensive study of interviewing and interrogation using Criterion Based Statement Analysis, (CBSA), Scientific Content Analysis, (SCAN) and a host of body language analysis comparing various strategies and schools of study in lie detection, woven together, in a highly readable manner. It is Textbook in form, yet it reads in an easy, practical manner, with impeccable research and a balanced view that is useful for investigators, child protective workers, social workers, human resources, attorneys, therapists and counselors, as well as journalists and those responsible for hiring. It is fascinating to read, chapter by chapter, as well as a resource for future study. Each chapter represents an entire study within itself, and will lead the interested reader on further journey for understanding how deception is not only detected, but what thinking goes on within a deceptive person as well as an innocent person. There are many practical examples of questions to ask, along with the explanations of why certain questions are asked and how best to understand the answers. Reid techniques are addressed as well as the MITT technique (using sketches) along with sample interviews, all in easy to digest portions. It has a feel that the authors took the best techniques we have and pulled them together for a single textbook. A great and well researched work that leads the reader hungry for more from its authors. It is a must for those who conduct interviews in all fields.
