The authors begin with the initial list of "the Moscow Rules" and continue to discuss briefly the current state of affairs in Russia under Vladimir Putin, and how they interfered with the 2016 U.S. election.

Just Released and Forthcoming Books of the Week

The Great Successor: The Divinely Perfect Destiny of Brilliant Comrade Kim Jong Un
by Anna Fifield
(PublicAffairs, June 2019)

"Intelligent, insightful, sometimes comic, and also worrying: Anna Fifield has written a vivid, compelling, and, above all, illuminating portrait of a rogue family's rule over the world's most reclusive nation." —General David Petraeus (US Army, Ret.), director of the CIA when Kim Jong Un became leader

"An important, riveting, and detailed account of the rise of Kim Jong Un. Anna Fifield, who is an intrepid reporter and a lively writer, breaks important new ground in The Great Successor. Drawing on a broad array of sources, including remarkable defector accounts, she paints a disturbing portrait of a country fueled by heady delusions of military strength; a potent, bizarre ideology; an unflinching devotion to nuclear weapons; and a disturbing addiction to crystal methamphetamine. Spoiler alert: be prepared for a lot of gore." —Evans J.R. Revere, senior advisor with the Albright Stonebridge Group and former senior state department official with 50 years of experience working on Korea

The behind-the-scenes story of the rise and reign of the world's strangest and most elusive tyrant, Kim Jong Un, by the journalist with the best connections and insights into the bizarrely dangerous world of North Korea. Fifield is the Beijing bureau chief for The Washington Post. She previously covered Japan and the Koreas for the Post, and was the Seoul correspondent for the Financial Times.
Fifield reconstructs Kim's past and present based on sources near him and explains the dynastic mission of the Kim family. The archaic notion of despotic family rule matches the almost medieval hardship the country has suffered under the Kims.
Portrait of the oddest and most secretive political regime in the world—isolated yet internationally relevant, bankrupt yet in possession of nuclear weapons—and its ruler, the self-proclaimed Beloved and Respected Leader, Kim Jong Un.

The Bastard Brigade: The True Story of the Renegade Scientists and Spies Who Sabotaged the Nazi Atomic Bomb
by Sam Kean
(Little Brown and Co, July 2019)

Story of a renegade group of scientists and spies determined to keep Adolf Hitler from obtaining the ultimate prize: a nuclear bomb.
In the middle of building an atomic bomb, the leaders of the Manhattan Project were alarmed to learn that Nazi Germany was outpacing the Allies in nuclear weapons research. Hitler, with just a few pounds of uranium, would have the capability to reverse the entire D-Day operation and conquer Europe. So Americans assembled a rough and motley crew of geniuses – dubbed the Alsos Mission – to go into Axis territory to spy on, sabotage, and assassinate members of Nazi Germany's feared Uranium Club.
We learn of the incredible cast of characters—both heroes and rogues—including: Moe Berg the major league catcher who abandoned the game for a career as a multilingual international spy; Werner Heisenberg the Nobel Prize-winning physicist credited as the discoverer of quantum mechanics; a key contributor to the Nazi's atomic bomb project and the primary target of the Alsos mission; Colonel Boris Pash a high school science teacher and veteran of the Russian Revolution who fled the Soviet Union with a deep disdain for Communists and who later led the Alsos mission; Joe Kennedy Jr. the charismatic, thrill-seeking older brother of JFK whose need for adventure led him to volunteer for the most dangerous missions the Navy had to offer; Samuel Goudsmit a washed-up physics prodigy who spent his life hunting Nazi scientists across the globe; and Irène and Frederic Joliot-Curie a physics Nobel-Prize winning power couple who used their unassuming status as scientists to become active members of the resistance.
These scientists and soldiers played a vital and largely untold role in turning back one of the darkest tides in human history.

Obituaries

Dan Bumstead, CIA Operations Officer

Daniel Downs Bumstead, 84, a CIA Operations Officer, died 11 March 2019 in Naples, FL
Dan was born in Ohio, where went to Kenyon College, and was known for being an athlete, scholar, and President of the Student Council. He was inducted into Kenyon's Hall of Fame for his basketball career. While in college he signed with the Cincinnati Reds minor league, where he was a pitcher for three years. After graduating from Kenyon, he joined the Air Force as a reconnaissance coordinator in Morocco, where he met his first wife, Cynthia Kelley. After a year in the Air Force, Dan was recruited into the CIA, beginning a 34-year career that took him to Morocco, Iran, France, Belgium, Portugal, Cuba, and Central America. During his many years living in Paris, first in the 1970s and then in the 1980s, he developed fluent French, and a love of wine and good food. He enjoyed an in-depth exchange of views on European and global politics, accompanied by a large snifter of Armagnac. 1974 found him in Lisbon at the time of the Carnation Revolution. He was deeply involved in Iranian affairs, particularly during the fall of the Shah, escaping Tehran shortly before the taking of the American hostages in 1979.
In retirement, Dan was a voracious reader of political books, articles, and journals involving Intelligence, Castro, and Terrorism. He also enjoyed fly fishing and tennis. He won several singles and doubles titles in the US and Bermuda. He also became active in the Naples (FL) Council on World Affairs. Dan's served on the Board for 12 years, and as President of the Council from 2008-2010, and served 20 years leading his Great Decisions Group.
He will be remembered for many things, not least his ability to hold a dinner party in thrall to funny stories and tall tales, most of which grew taller and funnier with each recounting.
He is survived by his wife of 38 years, Cynthia Barrett Edwards, two daughters, and other family, including an Australian Labradoodle named Casey, after a certain fellow at the CIA.

Bob Clark, CIA Senior Scientist

Robert Louis Clark, 76, a CIA Senior Scientist, died of pneumonia on 11 June 2019 in McLean, VA.
Bob graduated from Virginia Military Institute in 1963 and was subsequently employed by the U.S. Army and the CIA. He retired from the CIA in 2009 as a senior scientist/engineer.
After retirement he volunteered his time and expertise to Rock Spring Congregational United Church of Christ as systems administrator.
He leaves his wife, Bettie Ferrell Clark, two sisters, and other family.
A celebration of his life will be held at Rock Spring Church in Arlington on 13 July 2019.

Herb Meyer, Vice Chair, CIA's National Intelligence Council

Herbert E. Meyer, 73, Vice Chairman of CIA's NIC, died 23 June 2019 in Friday Harbor, WA, of a September 2018 traumatic brain injury and coma incurred from being struck by an unidentified vehicle while riding his bicycle.
During the Reagan Administration, Herb served as Special Assistant to DCI William Casey, and Vice Chairman of the CIA's National Intelligence Council. In these positions, he managed production of the National Intelligence Estimates and other top-secret projections for the President and his senior National Security advisers. Meyer is credited by some for being the first senior USG official to forecast the Soviet Union's collapse, which he did in the early 1980s -- to considerable political derision. He later was awarded the National Intelligence Distinguished Service Medal, which was the Intelligence Community's highest honor at that time.
He previously was an associate editor of FORTUNE magazine, and authored several books under his Storm King Press imprint, including The War Against Progress, Real-World Intelligence, and Hard Thinking. With his wife, Jill, he co-authored the handbook, How to Write. He also authored several eBooks.
A prolific essayist, Meyer's commentaries on intelligence and politics were seen in The Wall Street Journal, National Review Online, Policy Review, The American Thinker, and Ricochet. He also served as a guest on television and radio talk shows. In 2003, Mr. Meyer produced and hosted The Siege of Western Civilization, a DVD outlining the threats to our security, our economy, and our culture that became an international best seller.
"Herb always said he was unable to write the true story of his work because of national security considerations. I can only hope that someday, scholars with access to the full archives will write the story of how America turned away from accepting the permanence of an evil regime of communism and developed the intelligence that brought down the USSR without the firing of a shot. When that happens, Herb may finally be recognized for his enormous contribution. Because of his ability to see through the gauze of shared assumptions that obscure the truth in complex human matters, he was a superb writer, the kind who makes it look easy. I urge readers to take a look at his archive of articles for American Thinker and to consider purchasing some of his books from Storm King Press." — Thomas Lifson, American Thinker, 24 June 2019.
Herb is survived by his wife, Jill, and other family. A formal obituary has not been released.

Jim Prucnal, served CIA at Area 51

James Walter Prucnal, 79, served CIA with Area 51 and other Black Projects, died 22 May 2019. The following comes from the Roadrunners:
Jim served in the United States Air Force for four years beginning in October 1958. Following his military service, Jim joined the Central Intelligence Agency, reporting to Area 51 in November 1964 as a finance officer under CIA Commander Werner Weiss, the Desert Fox. Jim remained at Area 51, serving the CIA for 35 years, retiring in September 1995 and joining EG&G Special Projects and then JT3 until his final retirement in 2005.
In his retirement, Jim did not stray far from Area 51. He joined the Roadrunners Internationale Association of retired CIA, USAF, and contractor veterans who served during the CIA's U-2 and A-12 spyplane era at Area 51. Jim continued to serve as the treasurer for the Roadrunners though declining health ultimately required assistance from his wife, Judy. ...
The Roadrunners recall Jim being a quiet, mild-spoken man with a brilliant mind. Unfortunately, Jim was never able to reveal his accomplishments at Area 51 as they remain classified and vital to national security. Though the same national security restrictions still apply to most of the Roadrunners, they have told non-classified humorous stories about their time at Area 51. One such tale involving Jim was his serving the CIA at Area 51 with former USAF Lt. Col. John Henry "Hank" Meirdierck, best described as a "crusty old colonel" who was one of the USAF test and instructor pilots training the CIA U-2 detachments at Area 51 in 1955-1956. Following the U-2 training, the USAF had attached Meirdierck to the CIA as its operations officer at Area 51 for the Project OXCART. In 1964, he retired from the USAF and remained at Area 51 as a GS-15 OSA budget officer with his office directly across the hall from Jim's. Jim's story is that each morning he brought a newspaper with him on the flight to Area 51, where before he had a chance to read it, it would disappear. He discovered that Hank was stealing his newspaper. Those who knew both Hank and Jim know how they contrasted in almost every way, thus adding humor to what transpired beneath the shroud of secrecy at Area 51. The coyote and road runner cartoons come to mind.
The Roadrunners extend their condolences to Judy and family and share their loss of a great American who served his country long and hard.

Carol Staubach, CIA/NRO Senior Officer

Carol Burns Staubach, 72, Senior CIA/NRA Officer, died 3 June 2019 in Oro Valley, AZ.
Born in Johnstown, PA, Carol attended the University of Pittsburgh graduating with a degree in Mathematics, Physics, and Secondary Education. Following a few years teaching high school math, Carol moved to Washington DC in 1970 joining the CIA where she held multiple positions in the Office of Computer Services. In 1984 she was appointed the Director of the New Building Communications Program; there she led the installation of all communications services for the new CIA Headquarters Building.
In 1988 she was assigned to the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) where she held senior director positions in three different Directorates. She managed ground stations, led research, development, and engineering of satellites and development of new satellite technologies. She retired in 2003 as the Director, Imagery Systems Acquisition and Operations.
Upon leaving the government, Carol went to work for Booz Allen Hamilton becoming Senior Vice President in 2006.
In 2012 she left BAH as a Senior Executive Advisor to the Intelligence Community and retired in Tucson, AZ.
Carol was very accomplished and respected, not only in CIA/NRO but across the IC, receiving many honors and awards. She was a member of the AFCEA Intelligence Panel and served on several Boards of Directors including Women in Aerospace, Challenger Center for Space Science, Virginia Commercial Space Flight Authority and the Stone Canyon Community Foundation.
Carol enjoyed traveling with her husband, family and friends. She was an avid scuba diver and skier, and loved to explore different cities and countries with her grandkids each year as a way to pass on her love of travel to the next generation. Her favorite spot was on the roof deck of her home at sunset. When not on the roof, you could usually find Carol in the kitchen cooking an amazing meal for family gatherings.
She is survived by her husband of 47 years, Tom, and other family.

CAVEAT: AFIO does not "vet" or endorse research inquiries, career announcements, or job offers. Reasonable-sounding inquiries and career offerings are published as a service to our members, and for researchers, educators, and subscribers. You are urged to exercise your usual caution and good judgment when responding, and should verify the source independently before deciding if you wish to supply a resume, career data, or personal information. Your participation in research aids the Intelligence Community and future officers.

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.

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.

Timing: Registration starts at 5:30 pm, Speaker presentation starts at 6 pm. Fee: $50/person. Payment at the door only. Cash or check. Full dinner, cash bar.

1 November 2019, 10:30 am - 2 pm - Tysons, VA - SAVE THE DATE for this final AFIO luncheon of 2019. Event features Jonna Mendez, former CIA Chief of Disguise, co-author of The Moscow Rules: The Secret CIA Tactics That Helped America Win the Cold War, and Vince Houghton PhD, Spy Museum Historian, discussing his just released The Nuclear Spies: America's Atomic Intelligence Operation against Hitler and Stalin.

Jonna Mendez's presentation starts at 11 a.m. Mendez (Spy Dust: Two Masters of Disguise Reveal the Tools and Operations That Helped Win the Cold War), share (with late husband Tony Mendez) their experiences as spies in Moscow during the height of the Cold War in the mid-1980s. The authors begin with the initial list of "the Moscow Rules" and continue to discuss briefly the current state of affairs in Russia under Vladimir Putin, and how they interfered with the 2016 U.S. election.

Vince Houghton PhD, historian and curator of the International Spy Museum, makes his presentation at 1 p.m. on The Nuclear Spies: America's Atomic Intelligence Operation against Hitler and Stalin. He asks why did the US intelligence services fail so spectacularly to know about the Soviet Union's nuclear capabilities following WWII? The Manhattan Project's intelligence team had penetrated the Third Reich and knew every detail of the Nazi 's plan for an atomic bomb. What changed and what went wrong?

Venue: DoubleTree by Hilton, 1960 Chain Bridge Rd, Tysons Corner, VA 22182 Phone: (703) 893-2100. Directions at this link.

Hold the date. Links to online registration will be provided next month.

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.

Location: Society of Illustrators, 128 E 63rd St (between Park and Lexington), New York, NY 10065.
Timing: Registration starts at 5:30 pm, Speaker presentation starts at 6 pm. Fee: $50/person. Payment at the door only. Cash or check. Full dinner, cash bar.
