5.0 out of 5 stars Publisher, Monitoring Times, March 13, 2004

This review is from: How To Get Anything on Anybody Book 3 (Paperback)

"This giant, 600 page compendium contains more information than has ever been available to the public before, letting you know just how agencies can place your computer under surveillance, tracking your every keystroke; find you no matter what, including your assets, phone calls, court records, associates and marriages, driving license and records, and more.

Learn how anyone can access your credit records, break your password, acquire and use surveillance equipment, see through walls, bug your room, read your computer screen remotely, tap a phone without a warrant, hide a message that won't be found, successfully perform a covert entry, and dozens more.

Author Lapin leads us through this technological treatise in anecdotal, conversational style, along with examples from his own wealth of experience. It's an easy read, often humorous, with Lapin's particular brand of irony.

This isn't a book paranoids should read, nor is it intended as a how-to for illegal activities, but if you want to know how it's done, it's here. And it's expensive. But since its predecessors are used as training manuals by federal intelligence agencies, it certainly should be good enough for our readers."

5.0 out of 5 stars How to get anything on anybody, April 4, 2001

By	Steven M. Crist (Boise, Idaho) - See all my reviews

I purchased this book back in 1987 when it was first published. It is a great source for information regarding electronic phone surveilance, gadgetry, tracing people through public and private records, etc. Although some of the information is still usable, I believe it may be outdated. There are numerous sources for spy equipment in the back of the book, but how many of those are still in business? Who knows.

Outstanding ! a bible on surviellence and tracking

But just as important, while it is a must read for anyone who needs to find information on someone, it is a resource about WHAT can be found out. And more importantly, how to secure our privacy in these days of identity theft, intrusive marketing, and the like.

Thomas Jefferson said "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." , and it is a 'checklist' for the watchful.
