Narrado por: Jason Hanson

Follow-up to the New York Times bestseller Spy Secrets That Can Save Your Life--revealing high-stakes techniques and survival secrets from real intelligence officers in life-or-death situations around the world

Everyone loves a good spy story, but most of the ones we hear are fictional. That's because the most dangerous and important spycraft is done in secret, often hidden in plain sight.

In this powerful new book, bestselling author and former CIA officer Jason Hanson takes the reader deep inside the world of espionage, revealing true stories and expert tactics from real agents engaged in life-threatening missions around the world.

With breathtaking accounts of spy missions in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and elsewhere, the book reveals how to:

* Achieve mental sharpness to be ready for anything
* Escape if taken hostage
* Set up a perfect safe site
* Assume a fake identity
* Master the "Weapons of Mass Influence" to recruit others, build rapport, and make allies when you need them most

With real-life spy drama that reads like a novel paired with expert practical techniques, Survive Like a Spy will keep you on the edge of your seat – and help you stay safe when you need it most.

"You never know when you will suddenly be confronted by a 'do or die' situation. None of us can. Jason’s unique collection of such incidents are recounted by real CIA covert operations officers.

Interesting

Some of this material, most notably the technology/computer usage section, seems like "common sense" to me but it might not be for many people. Overall, there is good information to be found here.

An interesting book indeed!

I love to see books being narrated by the authors. Usually they have someone else read it.

Very impressed and learned allot

I thank Jason Hanson for this book and for the in-depth information, something’s I knew but allot I didn’t. If you listen have something to write with and a note pad. Before you start. Pass this along to your friends and family. Like he said, be safe, alert, and prepared but still have a good time. Trust your gut.

A Must Read.p

very useful information useful to anyone who wants to live a more secure life.

This book is great!!

I've already read (and re-read) Jasons first book "Spy secrets that can save your life" and loved it. Now this book is just as good. I'm thinking about giving this book as a gift for family and friends.
