Newly Released and Forthcoming Books of the Week

Russians Among Us: Sleeper Cells, Ghost Stories, and the Hunt for Putin's Spies
by Gordon Corera
(William Morrow, Mar 2020)

"An eye-opening look at the illegals and other agents who have been spying for Russia, Soviet and otherwise, over the last several decades… Corera tells a big story in a relatively short space… A book that helps make sense of recent headlines and old news alike." —Kirkus

Tells the story of Putin's escalating espionage campaign in the West, the Russian 'deep cover' spies who penetrated the US and the years-long FBI hunt to capture them. Details the recruitment, running, and escape of one of the most important spies of modern times, a man who worked inside the heart of Russian intelligence. Corera tracks the history and evolution of Russian espionage, including the use of 'cyber illegals' who continue to manipulate us today and might pose a threat to the 2020 elections.

Spying from the Sky: At the Controls of US Cold War Aerial Intelligence
by Robert Richardson
(Casemate, Mar 2020)

William Gregory, "Greg" to all, was born into a sharecropper's life in the hills of north central Tennessee. From the back of a mule-drawn plow, Greg learned the value of resilience and the importance of living a determined life. Refusing to accept a life of continued poverty, Greg sought and found a way out—a work-study college program that made it possible to leave farming behind him forever.

While at college, Greg completed the Civilian Pilot Training Program and was subsequently accepted into the Army's pilot training program. Earning his wings in 1942, Greg became a P-38 combat pilot and served in North Africa during the summer of 1943—a critical time when the Luftwaffe was still a potent threat, and America had begun the march northward from the Mediterranean into Europe proper.

Following the war, Greg served with a B-29 unit, then transitioned to the new, red-hot B-47 strategic bomber. In his frequent deployments, he was always assigned the same target in the Soviet Union—Tblisi, Stalin's home town. While a B-47 pilot, Greg was selected to join America's first high-altitude program—the Black Knights. Flying RB-57D aircraft, Greg and his team flew peripheral "ferret" missions around the Soviet Union and its satellites, collecting critical order-of-battle data so desperately needed by the Air Force at that time. When that program neared its design end, and following the Gary Powers shoot-down over the Soviet Union, Greg was assigned to command of the CIA's U-2 unit at Edwards AFB. It was during that five-year command that Greg and his team provided critical overflight intelligence, including during the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the Vietnam build-up. He found time to also become one of the first to fly U-2s off aircraft carriers in a demonstration project.

Following his U-2 command, Greg attended the National War College, was assigned to the reconnaissance office at the Pentagon, and then was named Vice-Commandant of the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT). Greg retired from the Air Force in 1972.

The Unexpected Spy: From the CIA to the FBI, My Secret Life Taking Down Some of the World's Most Notorious Terrorists
by Tracy Walder, with Jessica Anya Blau
(St. Martin's Press, Feb 2020)

When Tracy Walder enrolled at the University of Southern California, she never thought that one day she would offer her pink beanbag chair in the Delta Gamma house to a CIA recruiter, or that she'd fly to the Middle East under an alias identity.

This is the riveting story of Walder's CIA tenure and, later, in the FBI. In high-security, steel-walled rooms in Virginia, Walder watched al-Qaeda members with drones as President Bush looked over her shoulder and CIA Director George Tenet brought her donuts. She tracked chemical terrorists and searched the world for WMDs. She created a chemical terror chart that someone in the White House altered to convey information she did not have or believe, leading to the Iraq invasion. Driven to stop terrorism, Walder debriefed terrorists—men who swore they'd never speak to a woman—until they gave her leads. She followed trails through North Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, shutting down multiple chemical attacks.

Then Walder moved to the FBI, where she worked in counterintelligence. In a single year, she helped take down one of the most notorious foreign spies ever caught on American soil. Catching the bad guys wasn't a problem in the FBI, but rampant sexism was. Walder left the FBI to teach young women, encouraging them to find a place in the FBI, CIA, State Department or the Senate—and thus change the world.

The Hacker and the State: Cyber Attacks and the New Normal of Geopolitics
by Ben Buchanan
(Harvard Univ Press, Feb 2020)

"One of the finest books on information security published so far in this century—easily accessible, tightly argued, superbly well-sourced, intimidatingly perceptive." —Thomas Rid, author of Active Measures

"The best examination I have read of how increasingly dramatic developments in cyberspace are defining the 'new normal' of geopolitics in the digital age. Buchanan…captures the dynamics of all of this truly brilliantly."—General David Petraeus, former Director of the CIA and Commander of Coalition Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan

Few national-security threats are as menacing—or as nebulous—as state-sponsored hacking. Buchanan reveals how hackers are transforming spycraft and statecraft, catching us all in the crossfire, whether we know it or not.

Ever since WarGames, we have been bracing for a coming cyberwar. Popular thrillers and political forecasters like to conjure images of exploding power plants, food shortages, and mass panic, but while cyber attacks are now disturbingly common, they don't look anything like we thought they would. They are not exceptional occurrences triggering an immediate crisis; they happen every day and impact our companies, our health systems, and every aspect of our lives.

Buchanan explores the real geopolitical competition of the digital age, revealing details of how China, Russia, North Korea, Britain, and the United States use computer code to gain an edge, moving deftly from underseas cable taps to underground nuclear sabotage, from blackouts and billion-dollar cyber attacks to election interference.

The nations that hack best will triumph.

Obituaries

Jerry Liebenau, Former OSS Officer and CIA Analyst
Gerald L. Liebenau, 94, a OSS Officer and CIA Analyst, died 27 February 2020 in Bethesda, MD.
Jerry was born in 1925 near Elssholzstrasse in Berlin, Germany, where he had a relatively peaceful childhood until Jews were no longer allowed to attend public schools in 1936. His family moved to the Haberlandstrasse section of Berlin and his parents sought a variety of ways to obtain an affidavits to immigrate to the US where a relative already lived. However, time was running out and the Nazi pogrom known as Kristallnacht (1938) frightened them to escape any way they could find. Their affidavit was turned down at the time that the Nazis had started rounding up Jewish males to interrogate and deport to concentration camps. His father, hoping that by staying alive while being abroad he would have more use to the family, than imprisoned in Germany, left Germany for London in September 1938. As an outsider he was then able to arrange for all of their furniture to be moved to Scranton, PA, a few days before the Gestapo ransacked Jewish homes. The family then received visas to London and left Berlin in December 1938. They left London for the U.S. in late January 1939 on the "RMS Aquitania"; settling in Scranton, PA. The family then moved to New London, CT in 1941 where young Jerry met the woman he would later marry.
Because of Jerry's native German language skills, he was drafted into the US Army within a week of his high school graduation, trained at Camp Blanding to be a machine gunner (approximately 1942-1943), and then sent to Southern Italy in 1944. He was spotted by the OSS and shifted into their outfit which placed him in Caserta, Italy and then to a villa on the Adriatic Sea where he trained to jump from airplanes. He was then officially a part of the Austrian unit of the OSS in Vienna and spent time back in Germany searching for scientists with knowledge of atomic weaponry. He returned to Berlin briefly to seek out survivors from his family (circa 1945-1946), and then returned to the U.S. where he was discharged from the army.
After serving in the Army, Gerald went back to school and in 1950 graduated from Yale University, where he had majored in history and the Russian language.
Upon graduation, he married "his girl" -- Vivian Shepardton -- and the two moved to Arlington, VA where Jerry began work with CIA as an analyst of intelligence records. He served most of his Agency career in Europe -- which included living in Berlin for a few years -- and then back at headquarters in Langley, VA.
In retirement, he was an active translator for numerous works in German and Russian. He translated Nicholas Gonner's Luxemburgers in the New World, and Janusz Piekalkiewicz's massive World History of Espionage: Agents, Systems, Operations, and a multi-volume set titled: The Collected Clinical Works of Alfred Adler, the Austrian psychologist. He also served as a docent with the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC, which did an oral history interview of him in April 2011. It can be viewed here and here.
His wife of 63 years, Vivian Liebenau, predeceased him. He is survived by his children, Betsi Closter, Jonathan Liebenau, Arlene Reiniger, and Janet Liebenau, and other family.

Henry Louie, Chinese Language Expert for CIA and FBIS
Henry Owen Louie, 94, a Chinese Language Expert for CIA and FBIS, died 18 February 2020 in Potomac, MD.
Born in Akron, OH, he spent his childhood in his family's village in China before returning to the US in 1939 to live with family in Easton, MD, where his father had established a successful laundry business.
In 1953 he embarked on a thirty-three year career as a Chinese language expert for the Central Intelligence Agency. Mr. Louie's distinguished service to the government included a six year overseas posting in Taiwan, and culminated in his appointment as chief of the China Political/Military Program of the Foreign Broadcast Information Service.
In retirement he played tennis and enjoyed his family and friends.
He is survived by his wife, Gloria Lee Louie, and other family.
A funeral mass will be held at 10 a.m. on 6 March 2020 at Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church, 9200 Kentsdale Dr, Potomac, MD 20854, immediately followed by an internment of Mr. Louie's ashes at the Gate of Heaven Cemetery, 13801 Georgia Ave, Silver Spring, MD 20906.

Two Positions at James Madison University for Assistant or Associate Professor - Intelligence Analysis

James Madison University (JMU) located in Harrisonburg, VA, seeks applicants for two faculty positions in its Bachelor's Degree Program in Intelligence Analysis (IA). The appointments will be at the Assistant or Associate Professor level and will reside within the larger School of Integrated Sciences. The IA program offers a multidisciplinary undergraduate degree with an emphasis on methodology and technology to prepare students to become analysts, with a specialization in intelligence analysis. Its graduates have been successful in securing positions as analysts in both the public and private sectors, to include the Intelligence Community, military and law enforcement organizations, defense contractors, and major consulting firms. The program emphasizes methodology and synthesizes critical and creative thinking methods with technological tools for data collection, visualization, and analysis with situational knowledge of a problem's political, economic, social, and technological context with strong communicative and professional skills to support decision-making.
Ideal candidates will be comfortable in an interdisciplinary, diverse setting and possess the potential for becoming an excellent teacher to future analysts in one or more intelligence domains including national security, military, homeland security, law enforcement, private sector security, cyber security, and geospatial. They optimally have a background in either mixed-methods, qualitative, or quantitative research and analysis methods. We especially encourage applications from candidates that can leverage the use of systems thinking, employ data science in analysis, support the development of writing skills, or teach ethics specifically for future analysts. The typical teaching load in the school is 3 courses per semester.
We welcome applicants from all academic disciplines—to include the humanities, social sciences, and sciences—that provide a knowledge foundation for doing analysis. Prospective candidates should review our curriculum online to identify areas that match their expertise and to locate potential areas that they could help the program to develop. The program values teaching excellence as well as one-on-one professional mentoring and seeks candidates who can demonstrate potential for both. In addition, the position requires the potential for an active program of scholarly activity. The position requires either a Ph.D. in a relevant academic field by the date of hire (for a tenure-track appointment) OR Master's Degree with substantial experience in the field (for appointment on a Renewable Term Contract).

Thursday, 19 March 2020, 1:30 - 2:30 p.m. - Annapolis Junction, MD - National Cryptologic Museum Lecture Series: Queens of Code

Queens of Code: Panel of women working on top secret information technology projects at NSA in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s tell their stories.
Queens of Code is a women's technology history project involving collecting stories, experiences, and insights from women who worked in information technology at NSA in the 1960s, 70s,and 80s. Because their jobs were often top secret, and they worked on sensitive national security programs, they couldn't discuss what they were doing - not even with their families. In many cases, they couldn't even confirm they worked at the Agency. Queens of Code is bringing the NSA's computing women out of the shadows, allowing them to claim their rightful place in history and the ever-evolving story of how technology has altered America's position in the world. These women created innovations in technology and expanded women's career opportunities for the generations that followed.

Come hear their stories. Come ask them questions. Free event, however, registration is required and seats are limited. Click the link below to register via EventBrite.
