While its companion book, Volume I, Covert Audio Interception, describes how to monitor everything said in a room or over telephone/fax/cellular and data communication systems, the nucleus of Volume II is in the chapters on detecting and countering such surveillance equipment, i.e. microphones, radio frequency transmitters, and telephone systems. An extensive glossary in the back of the book will aid readers who need a refresher in background information on the working of electromagnetism, electronic components, and wave propagation theory. Those who need further study may turn back to the technical chapters in Volume I.
You will learn how to recognize, assess and address the threats of industrial espionage; about eavesdropping techniques and how industrial espionage is carried out, including motivation and who are possible targets; search techniques and the training needs of technicians; about the people and organizations who initiate subversive activities; how to secure the privacy of one's communications. A chapter on war stories talks about Big Brother as well as Friendly Spies, and will easily inform the reader by its examples. Other chapters, are almost a text book in themselves providing fully updated studies of the newer electronic phone systems and electronic key systems, along with cordless, mobile and cellular phones.
