1. Deep Dive: Exploring the Real-world Value of Open Source Intelligence by Rae Baker
   Review: I haven’t read it yet, but I have listened all the positive reviews about the book from many industries professional and it’s the most recently updated book, so highly recommended. Also, I have read some medium blogs written by Rae Baker, so it’s assured it will be full of knowledge.

2. Open Source Intelligence Methods and Tools: A Practical Guide to Online Intelligence by Nihad A. Hassan & Rami Hijazi
   Review: I have read this book in 2022 and i loved reading this at that time, so if it’s affordable for you, give it a try.

3. OSINT Techniques: Resources for Uncovering Online Information by Michael Bazzell
   Review: One of the best book i have read for learning OSINT, i suggest to go for the digital version as it’s affordable for most of the people, but if you want you can go for print version too. 

4. Extreme Privacy: What It Takes to Disappear by Michael Bazzell
   Review: I haven’t read this book yet, but it’s in my bucket list, so will read this soon. This book won’t help you in OSINT directly, but it will help you in OPSEC and will help you in decision making in OSINT investigations. 

5. Verification Handbook by European Journalism Centre
   Review: It’s a good book for learning fact checking and OSINT for investigating journalism. It’s available for free, so must read.

6. We Are Bellingcat by Eliot Higgins
   Review: I have plans of reading this book this year, no opinions on this as it’s recommended by someone else to me, you can give it a try if you want.

7. Operator Handbook: Red Team + OSINT + Blue Team Reference by Joshua Picolet 
   Review: It’s outdated but it’s recommended for people who are in cybersecurity. For others, i don’t recommend this.

8. THE ART OF INVISIBILITY by Kevin Mitnick
   Review: It’s a book written by one of the best hackers, so it will surely be awesome, have plans of reading it this year. It’s not directly on OSINT but good for understanding OPSEC.
