The Extreme Covert Catalog: Worlds Most Complete Guide to Electronic Surveillance, Covert and Exotic Equipment Supplies Suppliers

As author of The Professional Paranoid, I've had over 45 hours of national radio guest appearances and have provided consulting helps to hundreds of people around the world.

Lee Lapin helps you reduce that disadvantage and instead make it an advantage.For those with an interest in activism, whistleblowing, political science or law (drafting legislation, law enforcement, the court system,) this book also offers significant value and insight into the nature of the beast.
