Books
 The
Ultimate Spy Book by Melton, Colby & Kolugin
Historian H. Keith Melton is a specialist in 20th-century espionage;
he's also quite a fan of espionage gadgetry. Both interests make strong
showings in this heavily illustrated glimpse into the shadowy world
of modern spying. Melton examines the role of clandestine intelligence
in revolutionary Russia and Nazi Germany, analyzes modern spy rings,
and profiles a number of important figures in the demimonde of spooks,
among them British code breaker Alan Turing and Yugoslav double agent
Dusan Popov. He also showcases some astonishing hardware, ranging from
suitcase radios to shirt button microphones and mechanical pencil pistols.
The
Counter-Terrorism Handbook : Tactics, Procedures, and Techniques
by Frank Bolzstols (Hardcover)
The Counter-Terrorism
Handbook guides law enforcement as well as industrial and private security
personnel through terrorism situations or potential threats such as
bomb threats, hostage situations, kidnapping, and negotiations. Info
grouped by chronological sequence: pre-incident- the background, planning,
and preparation in anticipation of such episodes; incident-terrorist
situations such as kidnapping, bombing, and hostage taking as they unfold;
and post-incident-the handling of terrorist incidents once they have
been completed, including the ranking officers' roles in supervising
police response.

The Secret Agents Who Changed the Course of History by Ernest
Volkman

spymasters, and moles. Includes the famous, infamous, and the all-but-forgotten,
from "serious" spies like Ian Fleming and Kim Philby to Ernest
Hemingway, W. Somerset Maugham, and Mata Hari.
Video/DVD
Three Covert Ops
instructors (Jeff Miller, Gordon Edwards and Charles Hunt) voted for
their choices for the best and worst action
adventure movies.
AND THE WINNERS ARE:
   
 The
Day of the Jackal
Starring Edward
Fox - This is the original, not the awful remake with Bruce Willis VHS
version
Ronin
Starring Robert DeNiro - Good tactics, great driving, fewer
blatant mistakes than most movies
Clear
and Present Danger
Starring Harrison Ford - Pay particular attention to the vehicle
ambush and assassination scene. Also the sniper training.
The
Ipcress File
Starring Michael Caine - Some of the best intelligence tradecraft
on film.
   
The
Peacemaker
Starring George Clooney - Good overall tactics, realistic attitudes,
good driving until the end of the scene.
The
Spy Who Came In from the Cold
Starring Richard Burton - The all time classic of intelligence
thrillers
From
Russia with Love
Starring Sean Connery - The last James Bond movie before he
became a super hero.
The
French Connection
Starring Gene Hackman - Worth seeing just for the incredible
driving scene, also shots of the Marseille waterfront
   
The
Package
Starring Gene Hackman - In the opening scene he is a member of Dennis’
and Nick’s old unit in Berlin (COVERT OPS instructors).
Uncommon
Valor
Starring Gene Hackman (notice a trend here?) - Captures the
Special Forces experience as good as any movie
Air
America
Starring Mel Gibson - Stupid plot about drugs, but captures
the silly side of the Southeast Asian experience
Bullitt
Starring Steve McQueen - This classic set the standard for action
driving scenes
AND
THE LOSERS ARE: (Watch to see how not to do things!):
Nighthawks
Starring Sylvester Stallone - The silliest movie about terrorism ever
made!
Passenger 57
Starring Wesley Snipes - Frequent teaching point on how not to handle
a hijacking situation
Dog Day Afternoon
starring Al Pacino - Actually a good movie about how the police totally
mishandled a hostage situation
Day of the Jackal
Starring Bruce Willis - How to take a classic and turn it into an exercise
in foolishness
And... Any movie with Steven Seagal, any one of the Rambo trilogy and old
reruns of the A-Team – need we say more?
