Expert reviews:

Incredibly researched "Chinese Espionage, Operations and Tactics" by Nicholas Eftimiades is a superb espionage tutorial and encyclopedia on the how, where, and why China conducts their comprehensive intelligence collection, operations, and espionage. This is a must read for so many, but for sure intelligence analysts, corporate security directors, members of Congress, local officials, and business school students. Awareness is the first step in mitigation.

Drawing on four decades as a practitioner and later a professor, Eftimiades has produced a comprehensive yet compact treatment of the organization of Chinese espionage, assessing both its strengths and its weakness. Must reading for those who would understand the dangers to national security and how they themselves may be approached for information.

America continues to suffer from a dangerous epidemic of PRC espionage, which Nick brilliantly illuminates in all its pervasive forms. CCP spying is part of a multi-decade economic warfare approach reflecting China's mercantile, zero-sum fervor to attain global technology supremacy. This book calls for greater action to confront enemies within before they permanently shift the balance of power away from the U.S. and toward the CCP.
