The depth of espionage and the intriguing world of "top secret spies" will make it difficult for spy novel fans to put the book down.The Right Honourable, Sir Tam Dalyell says of Gary Murray and 'ENEMIES OF THE STATE""Gary Murray's chapter on the Security Services should be required reading for any decision maker involved in the current debate on the future role of MI5 and MI6. To my mind Gary Murray's riveting, first-hand account of life at the operative's sharp end, make the Police-Court relationship well nigh impossible. Gary Murray is a candid gamekeeper who in my experience of him both knows and is activated by the difference between right and wrong. He is constructive, not destructive, patriotic about the values that it is truly worth being patriotic about. Nowhere have I read such an instructive account of the crucial handler-agent relationship, as that given by Gary Murray."Review of "AN INTRODUCTION TO JUDO" by Paul MorganNot having any previous knowledge of Judo, I found this book a very `easy to read' introduction to this martial art. It helped remove some stereotypical ideas I had about Judo and it's modern day practice. It is a precise guide on what to expect and contains very good explanations on the martial art itself. It documents well the historical details behind Judo, referring back to the original concepts and teachings. Highly recommended read for the Judo beginner.Review of "AN INTRODUCTION TO JUDO" by Robin Simpson"An Introduction to Judo" is a refreshing look at Judo as martial ART, as it was originally intended as opposed to the sport based version of Judo most of us are used to seeing in the Olympics. The book emphasizes the intricacies and subtle but essential nuances present in each technique which are very hard to spot if not completely missing in sports Judo. Gary Murray has an extremely extensive knowledge of the history and philosophy behind Judo and this is portrayed excellently in the book, providing not only information about techniques used in Judo but also the discipline a etiquette that should be shared by all practitioners, which is rarely found in similar books or even in many Judo clubs. The illustrations and images used in the book also add a great deal of context to the descriptions of each technique and the background history, notably the images of key practitioners and the creator of Judo are a nice touch. All in all a very well put together and clear guide to Judo with a refreshing slant towards Judo's intended purpose of self-defense rather than sport.VENOM RISINGFQ Magazine"Fantastic book - Verdict 4/5 stars I spy a winner"News of the World"It makes the Choose Your Own Adventure books that we enjoyed as children look almost prehistoric 4/5 stars."School Library Association, Everyone's Reading"An exciting new reading concept"VIPERS' NESTThe Right Honourable, Sir Tam Dalyell, :"Gary Murray knows better than anyone the relationship between MI5 secret agents and their handlers!
