REVIEWS
Kevin Bryant’s Spies on the Sidelines is the single most revealing book about espionage in professional sports.
—Brian Hooper, Former Associate Director for WMD Terrorism Threats, U.S. Department of State; President, Association of Former Intelligence Officers (AFIO) Atlanta; Principal and Managing Litigation Attorney of The Hooper Firm LLC
Sports story or true crime story? Kevin Bryant nails it. It’s both. Professional football is actually just a big business. Profits rise on wins and fall on losses. As in any business, spying for competitive advantage is—in the end—about stealing money. With incidences compiled and documented in a fascinating read, the true scope of espionage materializes. Football is definitely not ‘only a game.’
— Kevin D. Murray, corporate counterespionage specialist, technical surveillance countermeasures consultant for NFL teams
[Spies on the Sidelines] is a well-researched examination of the measures taken by professional sports organizations, in this case some teams in the NFL, to achieve success commercially and on the field. In doing so, Kevin Bryant has opened possibilities and interest of similar work relating to high-value sports, an under-researched area.
— M.Hanif Majothi, assistant professor of intelligence studies, University of North Georgia
