Cr�ticas:

"Reveals more concrete information about CIA tradecraft than any book."--The Washington Times

Rese�a del editor:

In this first book ever written about the CIA's Office of Technical Services, former director Robert Wallace (a real-life Q, straight out of the James Bond films) and internationally renowned intelligence historian H Keith Melton offer an unprecedented look at the CIA's most secretive operations and the devices that made them possible.

Against a backdrop of geopolitical tensions - including the Cold War, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the current War on Terror - the authors show how the CIA carries out its missions employing amazingly inventive tools. Illustrated with images never before seen by the public - and featuring everything from micro cameras to wired kitties to exploding pancakes - Spycraft is both a fantastic encyclopedia of gadgetry and a revealing primer on the fundamentals of high-tech espionage.
