5.0 out of 5 starsVery detailed and informative
By Tobin White on August 30, 2006
Format: Paperback
Though it can get a bit dry at times, reading this book through is very well worth it. It covers a lot of material, whether it be foiling foot, vehicular, or technical surveillance attempts. Unlike some books that will include a few pages on eluding surveillance, listing techniques like "leave the TV on if you think you're bugged" or "make two right turns if you think you're followed" and leaving it at that, this one will provide you with more discreet and effective ways at accomplishing these goals.

It also offers insight on the mindset of your adversary, the survelliance operative. It is obvious that the authors are very knowledgeable in this field. So if you want to learn how to detect and elude surveillance like a smooth operative, this book is your one-stop solution.

5.0 out of 5 starsYou want what you paid for right? You got it!!
By Bonekrusher5150 on August 17, 2007
Format: Paperback
The title to this book says it all literally. I was skeptical at first and I thought the title was just hype to sell the book but after reading half of it in one setting, I was totally wrong. For the average guy with basic knowledge on the subject, this book is sure to build on that. What I love most about this book is when you read about countermeasures and all that stuff you also learn about the measures taken by operators. It's all how you read the book. This book is very detailed and amusing at the same time. The things people plan against you are very well thought out. The countermeasures are also genius. Once again, the title holds great justice to the material inside. Furthermore, the tactics in this book are still being used today if this helps you when debating on purchasing this book.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellenty written
By Todd Baltz on October 22, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
While this book may come off initially as dry, upon reading further, the reader realizes that the dryness, the technicality, is necessary for instructing the reader in the practical applications outlined in the book. The first two chapters necessarily focus on vocabulary because for any field, the most significant hurdle is the parlance of the field in question. By using the vocabulary consistently, the reader begins to incorporate those words into their thought processes concerning the material given in the book. All in all, a great book to those interested, whether professionally or because they are James Bond fans, in out-maneuvering those who are surveilling you.

2.0 out of 5 starsits about being followed, but does not cover other surveillance
By darth devious on July 5, 2007
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book is about detecting people who are following you, and observing your activities. It unfortunately does not cover countermeasures to other kinds of surveillance, such as video surveillance, which has become prevelant in our time.

5.0 out of 5 starsVery Relevant to Today's Threat Environment
By ni4ni on July 20, 2008
Format: Paperback
Having some experience in counter-terrorism, as I read through the updated introduction to the latest edition of "Surveillance Countermeasures" I was struck by how applicable this instruction is to the emergent new-age threat we face. It is an unfortunate reality, but the realists among us understand that we have entered a dangerous stage in our society wherein we are not far from a relatively chaotic time to include a wide proliferation of suicide vest and vehicle bombing attacks in the streets of the US, Canada, and Europe.

Based on terrorist doctrine and the post-event examination of terrorist operations, we know that two of the primary stages in the terrorist operational process are "Intelligence and Surveillance" and "Pre-attack Surveillance and Planning". Target surveillance activity is arguably the most important portion of the terrorist attack cycle. This also represents the periods during which terrorist operatives are exposed and at their greatest risk of detection. Regardless of the internet research resources and technical stand-off surveillance capabilities, actual "eyes-on" surveillance remains a critical aspect of pre-operational planning, and places terrorist operatives in their most vulnerable positions. Therefore, the identification of terrorist surveillance efforts prior to final mission execution is the most effective means of threat detection and neutralization. Terrorist operatives and other such bad actors who conduct physical surveillance to facilitate their activities, however, operate under the hope and assumption that they are operating against unwitting, unaware, and non-surveillance conscious targets.Read more ›
