 Very detailed and informativeAug 30, 2006
By Tobin White
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.

You want what you paid for right? You got it!!Aug 17, 2007
By Bonekrusher5150

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.

 its about being followed, but does not cover other surveillanceJul 05, 2007

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.

The best value anywhere on surveillance topicsAug 02, 2010
By R. Friederich
ACM IV provides the finest product available at its price. Not only is the value worth the purchase of this book in and of itself, but the material is absolutely top notch.
During the course of my 25-year career, I spent my share of time conducting surveillances. I know many of the ins and outs.
The entire ACM IV series should be a part of every tradecraft professional's library. And the pages should be dog-eared.

 How To Watch Your Backside?Apr 21, 2000
In the ever changing "Information Age" in which we exist, more and more of us are voicing concerns about our fear of "Big Brother" and the amount of privacy that we can continue to maintain. With government agencies and pseudo-agencies, as well as more and more online businesses requesting more of our personal data, and storing this info in larger and larger databases, we all should be rightly alarmed and concerned. This book, I find, provides very helpful advice to the consumer on how to try and preserve their privacy while also making you aware of how others (crooks) are constantly looking for ways to pilfer your identity. While some areas of the book I did not consider to be detailed enough (particularly, areas on surveillance), overall, I considered the book to be very informative. However, be aware, that the everyday consumer is not the only one who may be reading this book!
