The thing is, although the disc printing clearly claims "MS-DOS compatible" and the manual explains to type "CD\DOS" on CD 1 (of 3), there IS no "DOS" directory on the disc!!! All the setup exes, etc. are "windows only" executables!
Once a top-secret training manual for CIA field agents in the early Cold War Era of the 1950s, The Official CIA Manual of Trickery and Deception--a key component of the infamous MK-ULTRA campaign--is now available to the general public.
An amazing historical artifact, this eye-opening handbook offered step-by-step instructions to covert intelligence operatives in all manner of sleight of hand and trickery designed to thwart the Communist enemy. Part of MK-ULTRA, the CIA's secret mind-control and chemical interrogation research program, this legendary document, the brainchild of John Mulholland, then America's most famous magician, was believed lost forever. But thanks to former CIA gadgeteer Bob Wallace and renowned spycraft historian H. Keith Melton, The Official CIA Manual of Trickery and Deception is now available to everyone, spy and civilian alike.
Magic or spycraft? In 1953, against the backdrop of the Cold War, the CIA initiated a top-secret program, code-named MKULTRA, to counter Soviet mind-control and interrogation techniques. Realizing that clandestine officers might need to covertly deploy newly developed pills, potions, and powders against the adversary, the CIA hired America's most famous magician, John Mulholland, to write two manuals on sleight of hand and covert communication techniques.
In 1973, virtually all documents related to MKULTRA were destroyed. Mulholland's manuals were thought to be among them--until a single surviving copy of each, complete with illustrations, was recently discovered in the agency's archives.
When I started Watches of Espionage, an Instagram page dedicated to the intersection of timepieces and spycraft, I wanted to challenge the popular notions of James Bond driving an Aston Martin DB5, a Rolex Submariner reference 6538 on his wrist. Or of Jason Bourne scaling the U.S. Embassy in Zurich wearing a TAG Heuer Link Chronograph. In reality, the utility of watches in the intelligence business is more mundane. Watches are tools. They are used to accomplish clandestine missions, build relationships, and complete operational tasks. In a world where GPS-enabled electronic devices pose an operational security risk, analog watches are even used for their original purpose: To tell time.
