Spycraft : The underground History of the CIA ’s Spytechs from Communism to Al - Qaeda go on sale in store today . I experience you reckon I probablymilked it for all it ’s deserving , but there ’s actually a gross ton of head - bogglingspy gearin there that I did n’t have a chance to hatch on Giz , such as :
• robotlike critter , from the insectothopter of the seventies to the robofish of today
• Cigars develop to kill , throw or chagrin Fidel Castro — not astonishingly , one would have made his beard fall out .
• The belovedskyhook — yes , the matter that yank masses from the ground up into airplanes . watch of its origins , early animal test run and its one successful on - record mission .

• The Soviet ’s most awing spy gadget , dubbed “ The Thing ” by befuddled CIA agents who did n’t know how on earth it work . It was work up by Theremin , inventor of that batty melodious thingy , himself a part - time Soviet agent and research worker .
• Spies , spying and spy talk of the town . Yes , the book may be focused on hardware , but man it ’s full of unbalanced story about spies . The most interesting tarradiddle are about the Russians who were leaking info to the US , often upon pain of demise . Stories of American treasonist are fairly familiar , but you rarely get to hear about what went on over on the other side of the Curtain .
Meanwhile , here ’s a recap of what I did cover up , in case you miss it :
•My question with the writer
•Blow - up Sex toy as In - cable car Decoys
•A Speedboat mask as a Junk

Anyway , I love the record and the authors , and I extremely commend it for a Father ’s Day gift . uncalled-for to say , I ’ve not received anything in counter for this second except a copy of the Word of God itself , which they can have back when they horn in it from my insensate bushed hired hand .
