Books for Dudes

While your wife is reading the latest Twilight, why not kick back with something a little more masculine? Available for around $13, Mafia: The Government’s Secret File on Organized Crime is an actual copy of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics’s reference guide of O.G.’s from coast to coast, complete with addresses, criminal records, associates, listings of relatives, and photos. This book is available for purchase here

Also available is The Official CIA Manual of Trickery and Deception, which is a reproduction of an actual document by intelligence historian H. Keith Melton and retired CIA officer Robert Wallace. The story is that “In 1953, the Central Intelligence Agency contracted illusionist John Mulholland to create a secret dossier of stealth and misdirection to be used by operatives in the field. All copies of the document were believed to have been destroyed in 1973, but a single copy remained….” The book has been enhanced with with improved illustrations and an extended introduction. Sounds pretty awesome. Available for $17 here.

Both make great gifts!
