Amazon.com: Books: Al-Qaeda: In Search of the Terror Network That Threatens the World (#)

„Tracing al-Qaeda’s roots back to the jihad against the Soviets in Afghanistan, Corbin picks up the complicated trail that led to the collapse of the Twin Towers and beyond. Exploring the tradecraft of "The Base," she shows how they used the training drilled into them in the Afghan terror camps to stay below the radar of the world’s most sophisticated intelligence agency. Here too are descriptions of the parallel deadly plots to kill hundreds in Europe, only uncovered in their final stages. Finally, as President Bush’s "war on terror" in Afghanistan poses more questions than it answers, Corbin examines the West’s response to the threat of al-Qaeda and declares it a failure.“

Amazon.com: Books: Hack Proofing Your Network: Internet Tradecraft (#)

„Too many network administrators depend on the "big sky" principle of network security--they believe that the large number of Internet-connected machines out there will keep black-hat hackers away. Hack Proofing Your Network: Internet Tradecraft points out that statistics are no defense, and that such an attitude is irresponsible. The book shows steps that you can take to harden your resources against attack. Although most of the material in this book isn't up-to-the-minute (how could it be, when the tactics of attackers change daily), you can discourage hackers by implementing the strategies that it describes.“

BBC News | UK | The culture of secrecy (#)

„"If you talked to people in the service, they'd argue there were good reasons not to divulge past actions," says Mr Leigh. Though MI5 may be keen to show it can keep faith with secretive former informants and operatives, the case for presumably outdated "tradecraft" staying under wraps seems less convincing. Paper chase One historian told BBC News Online he abandoned his study of the service, having been chastised for even admitting to a journalist he had met MI5 officials to discuss access to documents. Other critics have suggested MI5 is keener to gain publicity than lay itself open to investigation.“

Transfair USA | Fair Trade News (#)

„Yet a general comparison of the prices in a broad food category, say, all chocolate bars, shows that the fair-trade items generally cost 7 to 12 percent more, according to Tradecraft, a pioneering British fair-trade importer. This extra cost involves a somewhat unfair comparison between a gourmet fair-trade food item and a nongourmet conventional food item, but it suggests that fair-trade items have yet to match in price what the majority of consumers are paying.“

Amazon.com: Books: Lucky Bastard: : A Novel (#)

„(I waited anxiously for it and bought it as soon as it came out, then ripped through it in two days; a thoroughly enjoyable "could-not-put-it-down" reading experience.) But this book is also a serious study in politics, intelligence operations, subversion and corruption cloaked in light humor that is well crafted with more than a ring of truth derived from inside knowledge of the intelligence business. McCarry's portrayal of tradecraft is excellent. He draws from professional personal experience.“

„As open as he was, he would have been knocked off years ago. If you saw "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy", the TV series, you came away with a much better sense of the numbing boredom and tediousness of much of the CI and spy's tradecraft. I refer you to a classic of the reality genre, McCargar's Short Course in the Secret War (cf) and the more recent book by Ib Melchior (cf)“

„Recommendations for law enforcement officials to share threat information with medical personnel, however, seem unlikely to be implemented. In the past, officials have been hesitant to communicate foreknowledge of threats for fear of revealing "tradecraft," endangering intelligence assets, undermining legal cases, inadvertently alerting suspects, or creating unnecessary panic.“
