Just Released and Forthcoming Books of the Week

From Russia With Blood: The Kremlin's Ruthless Assassination Program and Vladamir Putin's Secret War on the West
by Heidi Blake
(Mulholland Books, Sep 2019)

In 2014, Scot Young plummeted from the window of his London penthouse. Despite his repeated warnings to friends, family, and the police that he was being tailed by a Russian hit-squad, and the deaths of his eight associates, British police declared Young's fall "a suicide" and closed the case within minutes of arriving on scene.

For years, Young was a high-rolling British fixer for a ring of exiled Russian oligarchs, most notably Boris Berezovsky, who had extensive organized crime connections and came to the UK tailed by teams of Russian spies deployed to track their every move. Public enemies of Putin, these émigrés extracted enormous wealth from Russia and openly criticized Putin's regime, using their power and influence abroad to raise questions about an emboldened FSB. As tensions rose, however, bodies began to mysteriously pile up, yet any British investigations were notably subdued and quickly shut down.
Based on 250 boxes of documents, years of reporting, and interviews with hundreds of associates, From Russia With Blood tells one of the most important geopolitical stories of our time, revealing how the death of Berezovsky, Young, and countless others can be linked to Putin's larger assassination program–and how Western governments are failing to protect those living abroad against the threat..

Chinese Spies: From Chairman Mao to Xi Jinping
by Roger Faligot, translated by Natasha Lehrer
(Hurst, Aug 2019)

"China is not just a country with intelligence services, but rather an intelligence state. In this wide-ranging book, Faligot traces this trajectory from pre-revolutionary Shanghai to the present and reveals a phenomenon for which the West is ill-prepared."—Nigel Inkster, former Director of Operations and Intelligence, MI6, and Director of Transnational Threats & Political Risk, IISS

"As China seeks to improve its global image, this book brings us fully up to date and reminds us of the iron grip in which China's totalitarian-communist system holds the country."—Le Point

"The unstoppable rise of the Chinese secret service has seen it grow greater in size than all other intelligence services worldwide. ... Roger Faligot's study traces in full the history of an organization that has long been successfully diversifying into technological and economic warfare in a new long-term strategy. As Faligot puts it, 'China's manpower is unrivalled', and its vast diaspora network is unique. [Its agents] play a decisive role in conquering new fossil fuel sources; in saturating foreign markets; and in conquering the global cellphone market. Now is the time urgently to read this absolutely fascinating and highly valuable study."—Diplomatie Magazine

"No stone is left unturned in Faligot's astounding and exhaustive who's who of Chinese espionage. The revelations prove as scary as the revolutions. Anyone inclined to welcome China's rediscovered world stature needs to read this book."—John Keay, author of China: A History

"An astounding and unmatched source book on the extraordinary reach of the PRC intelligence network EL At once fascinating and chilling, it's a book I found hard to put down."—Clive Hamilton, author of Silent Invasion

Betrayal in Berlin: The True Story of the Cold War's Most Audacious Espionage Operation
by Steve Vogel
(Custom House, Sep 2019)

Story of the Berlin Tunnel, one of the West's greatest espionage operations of the Cold War—and the dangerous Soviet mole who betrayed it. Its code name was "Operation Gold," an audacious CIA plan to construct a clandestine tunnel into East Berlin to tap into critical KGB and Soviet military telecommunication lines. The tunnel, crossing the border between the American and Soviet sectors, would have to be 1,500 feet (the length of the Empire State Building) with state-of-the-art equipment, built and operated under the feet of Cold War adversaries. Success would provide the CIA and the British SIS access to a treasure of intelligence; exposure might spark a dangerous confrontation with the Soviets. Yet as the Allies were burrowing into the German soil, a traitor, code-named Agent Diamond by his Soviet handlers, was burrowing into the operation itself and compromising it from infancy.

Vogel recreates post-war Berlin, a scarred, shadowy snakepit with thousands of spies and innumerable cover stories. Vogel also provides a vivid account of George Blake, the traitor who betrayed the project. Drawing upon years of archival research, secret documents, and rare interviews with Blake himself, Vogel has crafted a thrilling account of a daring Cold War operation, compromised yet still useful.

Thérèse Le Gallo, a CIA Operations Officer, President of AFIO's San Francisco Chapter

Thérèse A. Le Gallo, 53, former CIA Operations Officer and Senior Intelligence Consultant, died of breast cancer 26 May 2019 in Northern California. She served as the President of AFIO's "André Le Gallo" San Francisco Bay Area Chapter, having taken over for her father under whose name the chapter currently operates.
The daughter of undercover CIA officers, Cathy and André Le Gallo, Thérèse spent her childhood in Casablanca and Rabat, Morocco, Bamako, Mali, Bucharest, Romania, and Tehran, Iran. Stateside her home base was McLean, VA where she graduated from Langley High School in 1983.
Thérèse obtained a BA in Mass Communications from Miami University of Ohio in 1987. Inspired by a global perspective, her summer internships at NBC news and summer jobs at the American Embassy in Tel Aviv, she joined CIA's National Clandestine Service as a Case Officer in 1987. After training, she was taught Greek in preparation for what would be years living in Greece recruiting informants for the U.S. Thérèse had similar experiences when she was younger.
Growing up in Iran, she was under the impression her father worked for the US Department of State. When the Iranian Revolution broke out in 1979, Thérèse and her family quickly 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 State; he was, in fact, working undercover for the CIA.
In her own capacity as a Clandestine Services Officer, she flourished in Greek and French languages and led counterintelligence and counterterrorism operations for over fifteen years.
She married in 1989, lived in Athens, Greece, Northern Virginia, and Geneva, Switzerland and had two children. In 1999, she settled with her children in the San Francisco Bay Area. She met her second husband at the FBI in San Francisco and they married in 2004.
Following the discovery of cancer and effective treatment, she worked for the CIA Recruitment Center in the Bay Area. The family then transfered to Washington D.C. where she served as a consultant for five years with Booz Allen Hamilton and then SAIC/LEIDOS. Her leadership and contributions yielded numerous awards from the US Intelligence Community and resulted in new mandates by the Federal Government in counter terrorism preparedness planning.
In 2014 Thérèse's cancer returned and the family decided to move back to the San Francisco Bay area to be close to family and friends in her final days. She fought valiantly but lost her battle with the disease.
Thérèse will be remembered for her outgoing personality, dedication to family, perseverance and joie de vivre. She enjoyed a very fulfilling life of travel, adventure, life long friendships, marriage, raising two children, and over a twenty year career in the Federal Government working as a CIA Operations Officer. Throughout her unique life experience, Thérèse was reminded often how precious life is. She had a tremendous sense of being present and making the most of her time with people and places, and recognizing the beauty in nature.
Philanthropically, Thérèse enjoyed her time as President of AFIO's San Francisco Chapter, and was a Dame for the charitable foundation Commandery of St. Francis, Order of Saint John's Knights Hospitaller which supports Veterans programs.
She is survived by her devoted husband of 14 years, Craig Fair, a daughter Brittany Tholan, son Preston Tholan, and other family.

CREATE research studies will help us learn more about how people reason when solving complex problems, and how they communicate their reasoning to other people. We are particularly interested in how teams share and evaluate possible solutions, and how they collaborate to develop a common solution.

Our findings will inform and shape the tools and processes that intelligence analysts use to develop and communicate their reasoning. Our goal is to help the Intelligence Community reason comprehensively and communicate clearly so that they can, in turn, help our policymakers and government leaders make better decisions.

Although this research is focused on helping the Intelligence Community, the same insights can also help other professionals who solve hard problems from incomplete evidence.

Who is funding this research?
The CREATE research studies are funded by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA).

What if I still have questions? Send any questions to info@create.jhuapl.edu.

Pacific Northwest AFIO Chapter Was Active Years Ago. This Researcher Seeks Info on Its History from current/former Members

We are looking for persons who may have been associated with a lapsed AFIO chapter in the Seattle Washington area. The chapter lapsed roughly a decade ago and we are looking to do a little research into the history of that chapter while respecting the privacy of chapter members. Our intent is ultimately to provide some history of AFIO in the Northwest region of the country for our members and potentially on a local chapter website. We are looking only for chapter history no names of any individuals will be published without explicit permission of the persons involved. If anyone has any information, they would like to share please contact Carl Wege at the Columbia River Chapter of AFIO twege@ccga.edu.

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

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.

Wednesday 18 September 2019, 5:30 p.m. - New York, NY - AFIO NY Metro Chapter hosts Larry Loftis, on SOE Hero, Odette Sansom, in his book Code Name: Lise

Larry Loftis is the author of Code Name: Lise―The True Story of the Woman Who Became WWII's Most Highly Decorated Spy, the story of Odette Sansom (1912-1995), a Frenchwoman living in England, wife of an Englishman and mother of 3 daughters, who was recruited into Britain's Special Operations Executive (SOE) to conduct espionage in France during WW II with her commander, and yet-to-be second husband, Peter Churchill. 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.

Location: Society of Illustrators, 128 E 63rd St (between Park and Lexington), New York, NY 10065.

Wednesday 4 December 2019, 5:30 p.m. - New York, NY - AFIO NY Metro Chapter hosts CIA Officer (Ret) Dr. John A. Gentry discussing "IC Political Activism since 2016 -- Origins and Implications."

Partisan political activism by current and former intelligence officers since mid-2016 is the largest and most significant politicization of intelligence by intelligence officers in U.S. history. This presentation will explore the causes and the wholly negative consequences of this new form of politicization for the IC and the country.

Dr. John A. Gentry was for 12 years an intelligence analyst at the CIA, where he worked mainly economic issues associated with the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact countries; for two of those years he was senior analyst on the staff of the National Intelligence Officer for Warning. He is a retired U.S. Army Reserve officer, with most assignments in special operations and intelligence arenas. On active duty, he was executive officer of a special forces operational detachment. As a reservist, he was mobilized and spent much of 1996 as a civil affairs officer in Bosnia. Dr. Gentry also is an adjunct associate professor with the School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University. He formerly taught at the College of International Security Affairs, National Defense University, at the National Intelligence University, and at George Mason University. His research interests primarily are in intelligence and security studies. He publishes frequently in Intelligence and National Security and International Journal of Intelligence and CounterIntelligence. Georgetown University Press published his co-authored book, Strategic Warning Intelligence: History, Challenges and Prospects, in early 2019. He is a member of the Editorial Committee of the International Journal of Intelligence and CounterIntelligence. He is adjunct professor at Georgetown University.
