Classical Spies is the first insiders account of the operations of the American intelligence service in World War II Greece. Initiated by archaeologists in Greece and the eastern Mediterranean the network drew on scholars personal contacts and knowledge of languages and terrain.

2002810<p>New York: HarperCollins Publishers Inc. 2002. First Edition First Printing. SIGNED by Lawrence Schiller on the title page under which the word "and" has been written and then marked through. Based on research and interviews by Lawrence Schiller and Norman Mailer the book presents a psychological portrait of FBI agent Robert P. Hanssen who sold classified information to the KGB and its successor organization over more than 20 years. Hanssen was captured in 2001 and is serving multiple life sentences in a Colorado prison. The book is written as a novel with imagined dialogue. Schiller and Mailer were unable to interview Hanssen who was already a guest of U.S. taxpayers. Nonetheless it's a fascinating attempt to get into the mind of an American traitor especially through the device of having Hanssen talk to himself while looking at a mirror. 8vo. xv 317 pages. Near Fine with a minuscule mark to the upper board's right edge and a bump to its lower right corner in a Fine dust jacket. SCARCE signed. <br /><br />The backstory to this book is unusual and a bit convoluted. In Schiller's Author's Note he says he asked Mailer to write a screenplay for a CBS Television miniseries that Schiller would produce and direct. As Mailer was finishing the first draft of the screenplay Schiller decided to write the present book using Mailer's draft as the foundation. Schiller says he supplemented Mailer's draft with his own research. The book appeared in 2002 as did the series on CBS. The series starred William Hurt as Hanssen Mary-Louise Parker as his wife Peter Boyle as his father and David Strathairn as his best friend.</p><p>In addition to this book Schiller and Mailer also collaborated on "The Executioner's Song" and "Oswald's Tale."</p> HarperCollins Publishers Inc.

From the publisher: "The world-famous former con artist and bestselling author of CATCH ME IF YOU CAN now reveals the mind-boggling tricks of the scam trade - with advice that has made him one of America's most sought-after fraud prevention experts. 'I had as much knowledge as any man alive concerning the mechanics of forgery check swindling counterfeiting and other similar crimes. Ever since I'd been released from prison I'd often felt that if I directed this knowledge into the right channels I could help people a great deal. Every time I went to the store and wrote a check I would see two or three mistakes made on the part of the clerk or cashier mistakes that a flimflam artist would take advantage of In a certain sense I'm still a con artist. I'm just putting down a positive con these days as opposed to the negative con I used in the past. I've merely redirected the talents I've always possessed. I've applied the same relentless attention to working on stopping fraud that I once applied to perpetuating fraud.' In CATCH ME IF YOU CAN Frank W. Abagnale recounted his youthful career as a master imposter and forger. In THE ART OF THE STEAL Abagnale tells the remarkable story of how he parlayed his knowledge of cons and scams into a successful career as a consultant on preventing financial foul play - while showing you how to identify and outsmart perpetrators of fraud. Technology may have made it easier to track down criminals but cyberspace has spawned a skyrocketing number of ways to commit crime much of it untraceable. Businesses are estimated to lose an unprecedented $400 billion a year from fraud of one sort or another. If we were able to do away with fraud for just two years we'd erase the national debt and pay Social Security for the next one hundred years. However Abagnale has discovered that punishment for committing fraud much less recovery of stolen funds seldom happens: Once you're a victim you won't get your money back. Prevention is the best form of protection. Drawn from his twenty-five years of experience as an ingenious con artist whose check scams alone mounted to more than $2 million in stolen funds Abagnale's THE ART OF THE STEAL provides eye-opening stories of true scams with tips on how they can be prevented. Abagnale takes you deep inside the world and mind of the con artist showing you just how he pulled off his scams and what you can do to avoid becoming the next victim. You'll hear the stories of notorious swindles like the mustard squirter trick and the 'rock in the box' ploy and meet the criminals like the famous Vickers Gang who perpetrated them. You'll find out why crooks wash checks and iron credit cards and why a thief brings glue with him to the ATM. And finally you'll learn how to recognize a bogus check or a counterfeit bill and why you shouldn't write your grocery list on a deposit slip. A revealing look inside the predatory criminal mind from a former master of the con THE ART OF THE STEAL is the ultimate defense against even the craftiest crook." Abagnale is the subject of the film Catch Me If You Can "a 2002 American crime comedy-drama directed and produced by Steven Spielberg and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks with Christopher Walken Martin Sheen Nathalie Baye Amy Adams and James Brolin in supporting roles. The screenplay by Jeff Nathanson is based on the eponymous and semi-autobiographical book by Frank Abagnale Jr. who claims that prior to his 19th birthday he successfully performed cons worth millions of dollars by posing as a Pan American World Airways pilot a Georgia doctor and a Louisiana parish prosecutor." -- Wikipedia.
