Delightful
Melton had tongue firmly in cheek with this charming little book that reads like a how-to of tradecraft from the last 50 years. Some of the tips are clearly inappropriate in any ethical sense, others are impractical, but for the most part, they are legitimate information-gathering techniques. Armed with information, however, the book begs the question with which intelligence officers have wrestled for decades: Is all that information of any use? A delightful read.

Entertaining, educational, and disturbingly accurate
This book contains espionage techniques that has shocked a former KGB major general with its accuracy, as he'd spent twenty years trying to figure out this stuff during the Cold War. Each tactic and method--some amusing, others possibly illegal--such as how to determine leaks in your company, how to determine mail tampering, how to use cellphones as eavesdropping tools, and how to infiltrate your competitors' meetings all come with little true-life examples of similar tactics being used in the field. As with similar books like the WORST-CASE SCENARIO series, DO NO TRY THIS AT HOME, and THE ACTION HERO(INE)'S HANDBOOKs, it's all for entertainment purposes only, but it does make for excellent research material.
