After listening to Andre Bacard interviewed on the radio, I bought and read COMPUTER PRIVACY HANDBOOK. This book blew my mind! It taught me how very naive I've been about what Bacard calls our "Surveillance Age" -- in particular the Internet. At first I thought this book was about computers. Actually, it is about human relations and freedom from tyranny. I've told a number of my friends to read this book and, then, to check the privacy links at http://www.andrebacard.com. After reading Computer Privacy Handbook, I've taken several steps. First, I never surf the web without using a service such as www.freedom.net. Second, I use encryped email and/or www.hushmail.com for my email. I have yet to figure out how to protect my financial and medical privacy, but I'm working on that. Thank you, Mr. Bacard, for changing my life!

I bought this book first because I needed to read on PGP however when I started reading i forgot the PGP and found the privacy issues very interesting and made me more aware! I think it is a great book !

This is scary stuff! Just how available your email data is to third parties is more than disturbing. Bacard lays it out, with easy to understand explanations, and recommendations. The FEDs efforts to inhibit the circulation of strong encryption software in the public domain is all here. Bacards' book is a "must read" for anyone concerned about email security.
