Spyfail
Author: James Bamford
Publisher: Twelve
ISBN: 1538741172
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 579
Book Description
James Bamford, the bestselling author of The Puzzle Palace and Body of Secrets, unveils a hidden cabal of foreign powers that have spied against America to reveal the incredible spygames, secrets, and cyberweapons they’ve hatched, unlocked, and stolen--and how U.S. intelligence has utterly failed to stop them. SPYFAIL is about the highly dangerous and growing capability of foreign countries to conduct large-scale espionage within the United States and how the FBI and other agencies have failed to prevent it. These covert operations involve a variety of foreign countries—North Korea, Russia, Israel, China, and others—and include cyberattacks, espionage, psychological warfare, the infiltration of presidential campaigns, the smuggling of nuclear weapons components, and other incredibly nefarious actions. With his trademark deep investigative style, James Bamford digs as deep as one can go into these clandestine invasions and attacks, uncovering who’s involved, how these spygames were carried out, and why none of this was stopped. Full of revelations, SPYFAIL includes access to previously secret and withheld documents, such as never-before-seen parts of the Mueller Report, and interviews with confidential sources. Throughout this stunning, eye-opening account, SPYFAIL demonstrates again and again how large a role politics, special interests, and corruption play in allowing these shocking foreign intrusions to continue—leaving America and its secrets vulnerable and undefended.

Avoid Terrorist Attacks
Author: Jon Schiller
Publisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 1452882630
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Your author has based this book on the advice of a Israeli agent on how to avoid terrorist attacks, which is spelled out in Chapter 1. His advice is generated from having lived in Israel for many years where terrorist attacks are a way of life since they have so many enemies who would love to eliminate Israel from the face of the earth. I am especially sensitive to terrorist attacks, since when I was working on a classified project in Iran during the late 1970's, the colleagues with whom I was working were traveling from the Tehran Hilton Hotel to the project site by automobile. All of the people were attacked and killed by terrorists. I feel lucky to be alive since I was not in the car that day.

Genome Mapping
Author: Jon Schiller

ISBN: 1453735437
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Your author decided to write this book about Genome Mapping after attending a Dinner Lecture for Caltech Alumni living in the Santa Barbara County area of Mid-Coast California Dr David Barker, BS 1963 Caltech & PhD in Biochemistry from Brandeis University, gave a slide presentation on DNA sequencing and what it can tell you. In my quest for more knowledge about this exciting area of biochemistry, I sought more information about Genome Mapping and Entire DNA Sequencing from the Google and Yahoo search engines. As is common in Internet Research, I found a great deal of research was taking place worldwide. It was my objective to summarize this research in this book so my readers could learn what is happening and where to find more information about this important area of Biochemistry. One possibility is modifying your DNA to reduce susceptibility to certain diseases..perhaps we will be able to reduce our risk of cancer. One of my good friends died recently of Prostate Cancer, so my interest in combating Cancer has been intensified.

Book Description
Your author decided to write this book about NanoTechnology after being reminded of the fantastic developments of Professor Richard P Feynman who was a professor at Caltech while your author was a physics student earning his BS there between 1947 and 1951. I started studying the pioneering research of Dr. Feynman after being reminded of his famous lecture titled: There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom. This discourse was presented at an American Physical Society meeting at Caltech on December 29, 1959. Feynman considered the possibility of direct manipulation of individual atoms as a more powerful form of synthetic chemistry than the methods used at the time. This became nanotechnology

Your Author decided to write this book based on his extensive Middle East travels augmented by the Internet View of what is happening in the Arabic countries during the first part of the 21st Century. There are chapters covering Saudi Arabia, Iran, Israel (with emphasis on its interactions with Arabic countries), Palestine, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Libya, and Afghanistan (including background information on the war in that country). There is an additional Appendix which covers an Insider's View of the Arabic World. Included are some of the author's observations while working in Iran during the time of the Shah and before the ruthless people now dictating government in Iran became leaders. I recall the many highly intelligent and well educated people I knew while in Iran. Dr. Jon Schiller has authored 2 other books about the Middle East: "Masada never again", a fictionalized history of how Israel developed nuclear weapons "IBEX", a fictionalized history of an electronic surveillance system installed in northern Iran during the Cold War to spy on the Soviets.
