Terror Threat
I am a former RCMP undercover with experience in covert operations
and took Kostas Rimsa's courses at Humber back in the 80's.
Points I like about the book:
Written by former members of military intelligence, (Dwight
Hamilton and Kosta Rimsa) who both perspectives, an officer and an
NCO, not "bedroom slipper" journalists that have no experience in
the subject area which they write about. These guys are real, even
the CIA says they must be experienced, according to the back cover.
Puts today's Al Qaeda headlines into perspective by integrating
Islamic terrorism into a framework that mentions lots of terrorist
groups of different beliefs.
Author's attention to detail in tactical matters such as terrorist
recruitment, training and organization. There is five or six
generations of terrorist groups history, ideology and tactics.
Hardbound book published by a mainstream publishing house, not a
small self-publishing company spewing out low-quality paperbacks
…therefore more trustworthy and worth the money
Pictures of FLQ telephone # notebook, where did they get their
hands on that? And I like the fact that they aren't muckraking
journalists out looking for an award by impressing their left-wing
peers, or disgruntled former men of uniform that have nothing
positive to say about our security services, in these respects, the
book is unique. A Canadian first! Invaluable companion volume to
their fist book (Inside Canadian Intelligence). I should know, as
would anyone with extensive experience in the area.
Excellent research. A Readers Digest into what terrorism is all
about.
