From the back cover: "Mercenaries, renegade spies, drug smugglers, guerrillas, fugitives, and international terrorists all operate within the subterranean society of the "underground." These deadly groups and individuals must communicate secretly among themselves, with their sponsors, and sometimes with the rest of the world. They operate in specialized cells, using cutouts and safehouses, dead drops and microfilm. They steal long-distance telephone service and carry "bootleg" radio pagers to communicate without a trace. There are no rules or protocols in the conduct of these often illegal communications. And there is seldom any margin for error.
This is SPYCOMM, the art and technology of exchanging information secretly in a hostile environment. This comprehensive field manual explains how an underground organization can exploit the existing "communications infrastructure" to communicate anonymously and at no cost. Complete with detailed case histories from urban combat zones and the back alleys of foreign capitals, SPYCOMM explains how soldiers and dissidents have cleverly applied underground communications to kill the enemy, assassinate heads of state, topple tyrannical governments, and sometimes change history.
Learn how CIA trains its agents in clandestine communications at "the Farm." Read the actual KGB instructions for covert document photography. Study how organized criminals, terrorist groups, and rogue CIA agents steal long-distance telephone service. Learn how to spot a brush pass or catch a phone phreak. Create a virtually unbreakable one-time code with a personal computer. This is "operational hardball": no rules, no expensive equipment, everything simple and off the shelf.
This hands-on guide will provide you with dozens of real-world solutions to any covert communications problem. If you ever expect to go underground, plan to hunt someone who is already there, or simply are interested in operational dirty tricks of the trade, read SPYCOMM.
For information purposes only."
