Call for Papers: The University of Texas at Austin Announces the 2019 "Bobby R. Inman Award" for Student Scholarship on Intelligence

Austin, Texas – The Intelligence Studies Project of The University of Texas at Austin announces the fifth annual competition recognizing outstanding student research and writing on topics related to intelligence and national security. The winner of the "Inman Award" will receive a cash prize of $5000, with two semifinalists each receiving a cash prize of $2500. This competition is open to unpublished work by undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in degree programs at accredited U.S. higher education institutions during the 2018-19 academic year. The deadline for submitting papers is June 30, 2019.

The Intelligence Studies Project was established at The University of Texas at Austin in 2013 as a joint venture of the Robert Strauss Center for International Security and Law and the Clements Center for National Security with the LBJ School of Public Affairs. The Project's mission is to improve understanding of intelligence activities and institutions through research, courses, and public events bringing intelligence practitioners together with scholars, students, and the public.

The Bobby R. Inman Award recognizes more than six decades of distinguished public service by Bobby R. Inman, Admiral, U.S. Navy (Ret.). Admiral Inman served in multiple leadership positions in the U.S. military, intelligence community, private industry, and at The University of Texas. His previous intelligence posts include Director of Naval Intelligence, Vice-Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, Director of the National Security Agency, and Deputy Director of Central Intelligence. He continues to serve as a teacher, advisor, and mentor to students, faculty members, and current government officials while occupying the Lyndon B. Johnson Centennial Chair in National Policy at the LBJ School of Public Affairs. His areas of teaching and research are focused on political, economic, and military activities, policy processes and institutions, international affairs and diplomacy, and intelligence and national security.

Additional information about the Inman Award, including submission requirements and previous winners, is available here.

Research Request of Former IC Employees born between 1946 to 1964 - RSVP ASAP:

To members of AFIO:

Hello!  My name is Marianne Kramer and I am a current member of the Intelligence Community and have been for the past 25+ years. I am also a doctoral student in Leadership and Change at Antioch University. As part of my graduate work, I am looking at how working in the Intelligence Community influences the choices we make after retirement. 

As IC employees, we have the opportunity to retire earlier than the general population which leaves more time for post-retirement activities. Given retirement at younger ages, what might post-retirement life offer?   And how do career experiences influence post-retirement choices?  Since we are also living longer, due to better medical knowledge, advances in technology, and smarter health choices, many will contemplate a second or 'encore' opportunity to do something else after we retire. 

Today I am asking for your help. My study looks at retirement choices for federal employees from the Intelligence Community who are baby boomers [born between 1946 to 1964]. I am interested in your decisions, opportunities, and experiences since you retired from Federal service.  Your views and insights are valuable input into current trends and patterns. The survey should take less than 15 minutes to complete and can be found here.

Please consider participating and please share this link with other IC retirees. I am looking for 250 participants. I appreciate your consideration and assistance in helping me reach my goal.

Your participation is voluntary and you can discontinue at any time during the survey. All survey responses will be kept confidential and anonymous. Your privacy is important and will be protected. You will not be identified by name in any reports using information obtained from this survey. All uses of records and data will be subject to standard data use policies, which protect the anonymity of individuals; however, data and analysis from the survey may be used for future scholarly presentations and publications.

This survey has been reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) for studies involving Human Subjects at Antioch University. Participation in this survey implies consent. If you have any questions, please contact Lisa Kreeger at lkreeger@antioch.edu. For further information on the study and survey, please contact me: Marianne V. Kramer - mkramer@antioch.edu.
                                                                                                    
Thank you. Marianne V. Kramer

Just Released and Forthcoming Books of the Week

The Rising Clamor: The American Press, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the Cold War
by David P. Hadley
(University Press of Kentucky, May 2019)

"Impressively researched and lucidly written. The best exploration to date of the relationship between the CIA, an institution devoted to secrecy, and another dedicated to transparency—the press. Hadley's story reveals that even as it changed over time, this relationship was as symbiotic as it was adversarial. It could not be more timely."—Richard H. Immerman, Temple University Center for the Study of Force and Diplomacy

"Spies and reporters both trade in secret information, a task that makes them sometimes allies and sometimes adversaries. Hadley sheds light on the complicated relationship between the two, revealing how they clashed and cooperated during the most dangerous years of the Cold War. Packed with surprises and insights, this important book will always be timely."—Kenneth Osgood, author of Total Cold War: Eisenhower's Secret Propaganda Battle at Home and Abroad

"The CIA's relationship with the U.S. press during the Cold War has long been shrouded in secrecy and conspiracy theory. In the first book-length treatment of the subject, David Hadley dispels the myths and misunderstanding with sober, deeply researched, and nuanced analysis."—Hugh Wilford, author of America's Great Game: The CIA's Secret Arabists and the Shaping of the Modern Middle East

VANGUARD: The True Stories of the Reconnaissance and Intelligence Missions behind D-Day
by David Abrutat
(Naval Institute Press-Uniform, May 2019)

Operation OVERLORD, the opening up of an Allied second front by the invasion of the Normandy beaches in June 1944 was the largest military invasion of all time, but it was preceded by years of industrial scale intelligence collection and dangerous clandestine reconnaissance missions off the French coast. 
VANGUARD is the untold story of this work, the intelligence machine and covert reconnaissance missions that went into the D-Day planning, such as the signals intelligence intercepts, the agent running operations orchestrated by the 15th Flotilla, to the clandestine work of the X-Craft and COPP (Combined Operations Pilotage Parties) diver teams that scoured the Normandy coast months before the June 1944 deadline. 
Abrutat pulls together previously unpublished but declassified Top Secret documents, diaries, letters, and personal accounts from some of the few remaining veterans who were there.

Book may be ordered here.

The Birth of the FBI: Teddy Roosevelt, the Secret Service, and the Fight Over America's Premier Law Enforcement Agency
by Willard M. Oliver at Sam Houston State University
(Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, July 2019)

Oliver, a professor of criminal justice at Sam Houston State University, describes the machinations that led to the establishment of the FBI. After the revolution, counterfeiting was one of the most serious crimes plaguing the U.S. The federal government used contractors—the legendary Pinkerton detectives—to ferret out counterfeiters. Eventually, the Treasury Department established its own anticounterfeiting unit, the Secret Service (which wouldn't assume its current job of protecting the president until after the assassination of William McKinley). Its agents were often borrowed by other federal departments to investigate crimes such as the fraudulent federal land deals made by members of Congress in the first years of the 20th century. In 1908, Congress ended the borrowing practice, but, unwilling to lose this key crime-fighting tool, Theodore Roosevelt's administration used a creative executive maneuver to set up a Bureau of Investigation under the aegis of the Justice Department. This inside-baseball deep dive into early-20th-century congressional-presidential relations is well-written and full of colorful personalities, among them detective Allan Pinkerton and James A. Tawney, Roosevelt's nemesis in the law enforcement jurisdiction battle. Students of congressional-presidential relations will lap this up. —Publishers Weekly

MOSUL - by Daniel Gabriel: A New Documentary

For the nation to endure, a city must die.
MOSUL is a character-driven, feature-length documentary (1 hr 24 min) built around several characters from contrasting backgrounds and ideologies who we come to know over a period of time (Oct 2016-July 2017), as they play their respective roles in the battle to reclaim the Iraqi city of Mosul from the Islamic State (ISIS). The story is told as a journey into the heart of darkness, through the eyes of a small band of Iraqi filmmakers who navigate up the Tigris River, from Baghdad to Mosul, and ultimately come face to face with evil itself.

SYNOPSIS: In the fall of 2016, an army of over 100,000 Iraqi soldiers and militia men mobilize to liberate Mosul, Iraq's second largest city, from the clutches of ISIS. Among them is embedded Iraqi journalist Ali Maula, who witnesses the temporary alliance between Sunnis, Shiites, Christians and Kurds ― all of whom have differing motivations in the region - but are motivated by the unified goal of freeing their country from the scourge of ISIS. The road to Mosul is no easy path, and it provides a snapshot of the controversial and larger than life characters who are impacting a political climate that has reached its boiling point: a Sunni tribal leader called "The Crocodile"; a lawyer-turned-warrior; a Iranian-backed female militia leader avenging the death of her husband; and, the refugees who inhabit sprawling relief camps that are the scars of ISIS occupation. As we near the end of Ali's journey, we encounter a jailed ISIS prisoner who reveals the haunting truth behind his organization. In the aftermath of the largest siege since Stalingrad, sectarian conflict begins to re-emerge - and the tactical victory is met by a stark realization: that the war against ISIS may be over, but the seeds of another conflict have already been sown.

View trailer on YouTube. For more information see MOSUL listing on IMDB or have a look at the special press kit shared with AFIO.

Obituaries

Luther Deese, Senior Chinese Linguist at NSA

Luther Henry Deese Jr, 78, Senior Chinese Linguist at NSA, died 14 May 2019 in Ocala, FL.
His family moved to Ocala in 1947 when he was six years old and he attended Ocala High School where he served as senior class president for the class of '58. After graduation, he joined the U.S. Air Force who's aptitude tests led him to take Mandarin Chinese at Yale University in New Haven, CT. After eight years in the Air Force, Luther had an incredible 32 year career defending our nation as a linguist with the NSA. He retired from the Agency in 1996 and was renown for his Chinese language reunions.
Luther was known for his kindness, generosity, and being an amazing friend. Having retired back to his hometown of Ocala in the late 1990s, he quickly re-connected with his classmates. He loved nothing more than touring the Harris Chain of Lakes in his boat with friends enjoying the day as well as spending time with his family.
The family will have a celebration of his life at a later date.
He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Joannie, two sons, two brothers, a sister, and other family.

David Duberman, CIA Analyst and Station Chief in Clandestine Services

David Duberman, 89, a retired CIA Analyst and Operations Officer, died on 2 April 2019 in Chevy Chase, MD. A graduate of the University of Alabama, the University of Paris, SAIS, and the University of Pennsylvania, he served overseas with the CIA in Paris, Rabat, Bonn [as Deputy Station Chief], and Stockholm [as Station Chief]. At Headquarters, he also served on the European Staff of the Office of National Estimates. In retirement, he served as a contract officer running the NOC program.
His wife, Inger Borgmar Duberman of Gothenburg, Sweden, predeceased him. Over a span of fifty years, David collected Chinese bronzes dating from the 14th to the 18th Century. In 2015, David and Inger donated their extensive collection to the Mobile, Alabama Museum of Art, where it is on permanent display.
David was the rare intelligence officer who was a success both as an analyst and as an Clandestine Services officer.

Thérèse LeGallo, a CIA Operations Officer

Thérèse A. LeGallo, 53, former CIA Officer, died of cancer 26 May 2019 in Washington, DC. Word has just reached us Ms. LeGallo's death. She was serving as the President of AFIO's "André LeGallo" San Francisco Bay Area Chapter, having taken over for her father for whom the chapter was renamed.
She was recruited by the CIA shortly after graduating in 1987 from Miami University in Ohio and from there started her career as a CIA operations officer. After many months of training, she was taught Greek in preparation for what would be years living in Greece recruiting informants for the U.S. Therese had similar experiences when she was younger.
Growing up in Iran, she was under the impression that her father worked for the United States Department of State. When the Iranian Revolution broke out in 1979, Ms. LeGallo and her family moved back to the States. When she was Sixteen, her father sat her down and told her that he had been doing more in Iran than working for the State Department; he was, in fact, working undercover for the CIA.
In retirement, she worked for Leidos and Booz Allen Hamilton.
We will release an expanded obituary when a formal one has been issued.

Mike Lytton, CIA Operations Officer

Michael George Lytton, 81, a CIA Operations Officer, died 14 May 2019 in Merritt Island, FL due to complications from Merkel cell carcinoma (neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin).
Raised in Charleston, WV, he attended college at Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI, graduating in 1959. He completed graduate studies at Georgetown University in Washington DC in 1960 and then entered government service, where he had a long career with the CIA.
Mike completed overseas assignments in Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, and South Korea, in addition to several domestic assignments. He retired from the CIA in 1995 and continued working under contract to the Agency until April 2004. When not on overseas assignment, he resided in Vienna, VA until 2011.
For the past 8 years he lived in Merritt Island, FL with his fiancée Priscilla Ubl. They had been high school classmates in Charleston, WV. He was a member of AFIO and CIRA.
His wife predeceased him. He is survived by four daughters, Margaret Riccio (Bob) of Alexandria, Rosemarie Harrington (Parker) of Arlington, Michelle Lytton of Williamsburg, and Danielle McNulty (Mike) of Waynesboro, and other family.

STANDING RESEARCH PROJECT BY AFIO: Professor/Researcher Seeks Identification of Events Significantly Affected by Intelligence for "When Intelligence Made a Difference" AFIO Publication

AFIO is beginning a new educational project entitled "When Intelligence Made a Difference." We invite you to identify events involving any nation or organization when the outcome was affected significantly by intelligence.
We plan to publish edited submissions serially in our print-only member magazine Intelligencer: Journal of US Intelligence Studies.

If you are interested in contributing an article, please email peter.oleson@afio.com. Briefly state what event you have in mind, and include your bio. [AFIO will identify authors by name and current or former title only ― no multi-line biographies.] If your suggestion is a good fit for this project, we will respond asking for your comments on that event, not to exceed 1,500 words (excluding footnotes).
When you send your article and bio, please let us know if you have ever had prior employment or contract work within the US Intelligence Community -- and, to meet pre-publication review requirements, supply a copy of the official approval letter or email you received back, naming and clearing for publication the article you are sending us. Without this, we are unable to consider or include your article in the publication.

As with most nonprofit academic publications, contributors will not be paid, however AFIO will publish under broad, pro-educational Creative Commons copyright. Therefore, authors retain the right to use their articles anywhere else they wish, after its publication in Intelligencer.
Eight weeks after publication of your contribution in the print-only version of Intelligencer, the article will then appear on AFIO's website for general public/educational access. Since the time of 1) an article's acceptance, and 2) appearance in print, and then 3) inclusion online can run eighteen months to three years from start-to-finish, a title-author listing of all accepted forthcoming articles (but no summaries) will be included in a print edition of Intelligencer and online. So it is imperative authors be patient as these articles are released on this serialized basis, in our two or three journal issues per year. By submitting an article to us authors acknowledge and accept these provisions.

This project would make a good class assignment. Accepted articles would give students a publication credit in a recognized journal.

Again, if you wish to participate or explore more aspects of this project, email Peter Oleson at peter.oleson@afio.com.

Leaving her daughters in a convent school and with relatives, she joined the rigorous training program, becoming proficient with a wide range of weapons, learning the fine points of spycraft, and perfecting her new identity with the code name Lise. In France she proved herself fearless. Hunted by the Germans, in 1943, Odette and Peter were captured, imprisoned, and tortured. Loftis describes Odette's ordeal in grisly detail. Two lies saved her: She pretended that she and Peter were married (they would be after the war) and that Peter was related to Winston Churchill. In defeat, the Gestapo hoped to use her as a bargaining chip.

Wednesday, 29 May 2019, 7:30 - 8:45 pm - McLean, VA - "Caliphaters and Apocalyptic Jihad: The Dynamics of the Most Powerful Millennial Movement of the 21st Century" - topic of Richard Landes's talk at the Westminster Institute

Richard Landes, Director and co-founder of the Center for Millennial Studies, and Senior Fellow at the Center for International Communication at Bar-Ilan University (2015 to present), will discuss: "Caliphaters and Apocalyptic Jihad: The Dynamics of the Most Powerful Millennial Movement of the 21st Century." He is the author of a number of books, including Heaven on Earth: The Varieties of the Millennial Experience.
Of his topic, he says: "Millennial movements seek to usher in 'heaven on earth,' a messianic era in which evil has been destroyed and good finally triumphs. When motivated by a sense of imminent success, apocalyptic-millennial movements move into active phase. The most dangerous of all these movements are those which believe in an active cataclysmic scenario (we are the agents of the necessary and massive destruction of evil that will clear the path), leading to an imperial millennial dream (we will rule the world). Currently Global Jihad represents one of the largest and most dangerous of all such movements known in history. The current ignorance of Westerners about this dimension of the problem and its dynamics constitutes a major weakness in our ability to resist. Worse, certain Western responses enable this movement."

Dr. Landes taught history at Boston University for 25 years and was Director and co-founder of the Center for Millennial Studies. For four years prior, he taught at the University of Pittsburgh. He is also the editor of The Apocalyptic Year 1000: Studies in the Mutation of European Culture; and Encyclopedia of Millennialism and Millennial Movements.

He received an M.A. and Ph.D. from Princeton University in history and a B.A. from Harvard University. He also attended the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris.

Thursday, 30 May 2019, 2 - 3 pm - Washington, DC - Globalized Authoritarianism: How Dictators are Weaponizing International Organizations at Daniel Morgan Graduate School

Globalized Authoritarianism: How Dictators are Weaponizing International Organizations will be a presentation by Dr. Edward Lemon at the Daniel Morgan Graduate School of National Security.
In recent years, powerful authoritarian states have sought to dilute the democratic dimensions of various international organizations and implant "rule by law" into these bodies. Through an examination of two case organizations, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and Interpol, Dr. Lemon will explore how autocrats are utilizing international organizations to pursue political exiles, consolidate their regimes, protect themselves against external pressure and develop new norms of international cooperation that undermine democracy and human rights.
