Books of the Week - highlighting the importance of Codes and Ciphers and NSA.

The Woman Who Smashed Codes:
A True Story of Love, Spies, and the Unlikely Heroine who Outwitted America's Enemies
by Jason Fagone
(Dey Street Books, Aug 2017)

Order here.
The origins of code-breaking during WWI and an overdue look at the pioneers who influenced the creation of NSA. In 1912, at the height of WWI, Shakespeare expert Elizebeth Smith [please note the unusual spelling of her first name - it is correct] went to work for an eccentric tycoon on his estate outside Chicago. He had close USG ties, and asked Elizebeth to apply her skills to something unusual: code-breaking. There she met the man who would become her husband, cryptologist William Friedman. Though she and Friedman are in many ways the "Adam and Eve" of NSA, few still know the full story and impact they had on America's destiny. After WWI, Smith used her talent to catch gangsters and smugglers during Prohibition, then accepted a covert mission to expose Nazi spy rings which were spreading across South America, advancing towards the US.
Elizebeth cracked multiple versions of the Enigma machine used by German spies. Meanwhile, inside an Army vault in Washington, Bill Friedman worked furiously to break Purple, the Japanese version of Enigma—and eventually succeeded, at a terrible cost to his personal life. We learn of code-breaking history through the prism of Smith’s life, bringing into focus the unforgettable events and colorful personalities that shaped modern intelligence.

Code Girls: The Untold Story of the American Women Code Breakers of World War II
by Liza Mundy
(Hachette Books, Oct 2017)

Order here.
Recruited by the US Army and Navy from small towns and elite colleges, more than ten thousand women served as codebreakers during WWII. While the boys took up arms, these women moved to Washington and learned code-breaking. Their efforts shortened the war, saved countless lives, and gave them access to careers previously denied to women and the strict vow of secrecy nearly erased their efforts from history.

When Hidden Figures—the book and movie—were released, Americans were surprised to learn that women played an instrumental role at NASA in the 1960s. They played even more significant roles -- secret ones -- during WWII. Some 11,000 women ( 70% of the Army’s, 80% of the Navy’s codebreaking forces) served the war effort as codebreakers. In addition to breaking enemy codes, they also tested American codes, ran complicated office machines, built libraries of intelligence, and worked as translators. At first, the military recruited only college-educated women strong in science, math, or languages; later, as the field rapidly expanded, many thousands more women were welcomed. The jobs were intensely difficult, stimulating, and vital to the war effort. A well-researched, compellingly written, crucial addition to the literature of American involvement in World War II. —Kirkus Reviews

Working on the Dark Side of the Moon: Life Inside the National Security Agency
by Thomas Reed Willemain
(Mill City Press, May 2017)

Order here.
A few facts upfront: NSA does not like publicity. Most agencies do not. And the past five years of exposés, leaks, and public incomprehension from an outpouring of pro-Snowden/anti-NSA/anti-collection political spin-mongering and misinformation has not helped bring clarity to one of the most dedicated, honorable, law-abiding member agencies of the US Intelligence Community.

Into this climate comes this well-intentioned small book by a lifelong statistics/engineering professor (MIT, Harvard, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) who spent a few late-career years as an NSA employee and contractor. While the author seeks to "put a human face on the people who work in this secret world: their character, motivations, frustrations, sense of humor," the extensive redactions lead to a hard to follow account. And it is clear the author burned a number of bridges in his unwavering goal of getting published. His adherence to the push-and-pull of NSA's publication review process deserves respect, for he was breaking new ground seeking to cover the climate and atmosphere of employment in the halls of NSA. Without the redactions, which the author has left visible in the 120 pages, the publication would be far thinner. Also, be warned: the book is filled with typographic errors and needed a proofreader.

These problems aside, it might be a useful and quick introduction to mid-career people considering working for NSA, for an inside look at the camaraderie and dedication in a world of intense security and constant reminders of the risks the US faces unrecognized by the general public who blissfully go on with their lives "outside the wire." Willemain spent three years alternating between his life "outside" and "inside" NSA and at an affiliated nearby think tank (Institute for Defense Analyses/Center for Computing Sciences). Once inside, Dr. Willemain was challenged to adjust to life in an intense, complex, highly cerebral and security-aware organization. One joins him in being inspired and grateful for all those brilliant and quirky colleagues he meets, the freedom they are given to solve often insolvable problems, and the clear-headed way they handle the moral challenges of wielding math and statistics as part of the Kill Chain during these years of major security threats against the US and our allies. He sums up his experiences as some of the most rewarding time of his entire career -- something we've heard from most NSA retirees. He shows the positive side of an Agency whose secrecy hides fully dedicated men and women devoted to protecting the country while honoring the Constitution.

Section I - INTELLIGENCE HIGHLIGHTS

Saudi King Overhauls Security Services Following Royal Shakeup. Saudi King Salman on Thursday decreed the consolidation of counter-terrorism and domestic intelligence under a new body, in a major overhaul of the security apparatus weeks after the interior minister was ousted from the royal succession.

The string of late night royal decrees also ordered a shakeup of senior personnel, replacing the head of the elite royal guard and elevating the head of the newly created Presidency of State Security, Abdulaziz bin Mohammed al-Howairini, and his deputy to the rank of ministers.

The moves inside the world's biggest oil exporting nation centralises authority in security matters to the king and his young son, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who has made a rapid rise to the pinnacle of power at the expense of his cousin, Prince Mohammed bin Nayef.

The decrees published by the state news agency said the changes were made in order "to face all security challenges with a high degree of flexibility and readiness and the ability to move quickly to face any emergency". [Read More: Sayegh/reuters/20Jul2017]

DARPA UnderSea Drones to Spy Subs-Real-Time. The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has awarded BAE Systems a $4.6 million contract for its Mobile Offboard Clandestine Communications and Approach (MOCCA) program. The MOCCA program's goal is to enable submarines to detect other submerged vessels at greater distances, while minimizing the risk of counter-detection.

"Advances in maritime technology are critical to the Department of Defense and an area where the US military can continue to strengthen its advantage," Geoff Edelson, director of Maritime Systems and Technology at BAE Systems, said in a written statement.

The Defense Advanced Research Project Agency and BAE-Systems have begun a high-tech project to engineer undersea drones that can use active sonar to find enemy submarines and network back to a host submarine in real-time.

The project, called Mobile Offboard Clandestine Communications and Approach (MOCCA) program, brings the prospect of a major breakthrough in undersea communications technology - allowing submarines to detect enemies from a much safer standoff distance. These days, in the dangerous and complication realm of undersea warfare, most undersea drones typically gather intelligence before returning to download data at the mother ship; this emerging technology would enable near real-time undersea connectivity between drones and larger submarines.

House Intel Committee Unanimously Passes FY2018 Intelligence Authorization Act. By a unanimous voice vote, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence last week sent the FY2018 Intelligence Authorization Act to the US House of Representatives for consideration.

While funding for the bill was slightly lower than in the Trump Administration's FY2018 budget request, it does fully fund a number of provisions for counterterrorism and preventing and mitigating cyberattacks on US infrastructure.

One facet of the bill specifically aims to re-focus the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) on its core missions by either completely eliminating several components and functions or realigning them to other intelligence community (IC) elements.

Building off of a number of reported issues seen during the 2016 presidential election cycle, the legislation requires the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) to publish an unclassified advisory report on foreign counterintelligence and cybersecurity threats to election campaigns for federal offices.

EU Employing Counter-Espionage Tools at Brexit Talks Amid Fears of British Spying. The European Commission has installed Mission Impossible style fingerprint scanners to boost security protecting its Brexit team, amid fears that Britain's high-powered spy agencies might be eavesdropping on preparations for tense EU-UK negotiations.

Michel Barnier and his handpicked team of seasoned negotiators are on a restricted list of officials with clearance to enter the offices of Taskforce 50 (TF50) as it is called in Brussels.

The department, charged with wresting the best possible deal for the EU from the ongoing Article 50 negotiations, are cloistered away from their fellow bureaucrats on the fifth floor of the commission's Berlaymont HQ.

The Article 50 offices require both a badge and fingerprint identification, which makes them unique in the Commission, which is guarded by private security firm G4S. [Read More: Crisp, Foster/telegraph/19Jul2017]

Iran Ambassador Ordered to Leave Kuwait Over Spy Case. Kuwait ordered the expulsion of the Iranian ambassador and 14 other diplomats for alleged links to a "spy and terror" cell, Iranian and Kuwaiti media reported on Thursday, worsening an unusual public dispute between the two countries.

Kuwait also told Iran's cultural and military missions to shut down, following a court case that increased tensions between the Gulf Arab state and Tehran.

Iran responded to the expulsions by filing a complaint with the Kuwaiti charge d'affaires, the Iranian news agency ISNA said. ISNA also said Kuwait is allowing only four of 19 embassy staff to remain in the country. Some sources said those expelled were given 45 days to leave the country; others said 48 days.

The expulsions were an unusual move for Kuwait, which avoids conflict and has worked at keeping good relations with all the countries in the region, and whose ruling emir is a regional diplomatic broker. Analysts said they thought the expulsion of the ambassador was the first ever by Kuwait. [Read More: Westall/reuters/20Jul2017]

CIA Director Pompeo Slams NY Times for Outing Covert Officer. CIA Director Mike Pompeo blasted the New York Times Thursday for publishing the name of the undercover officer in charge of the agency's Iran operations.

During a question-and-answer session at the Aspen Security Forum, an annual gathering of intelligence and national security officials and experts, Pompeo said the decision to publish the operative's name was "unconscionable." The audience applauded his statement after a brief period of silence.

The operative's name, which Fox News is withholding, was published in a June 2 story. The Times said it was publishing the name because the officer had previously been identified in other news reports and because the operative is "leading an important new administration initiative against Iran."

The Times story cited "current and former intelligence officials," who the report said spoke on condition of anonymity because the officer was undercover. [Read More: Chamberlain/foxnews/20Jul2017]

Trump's Nominee for Intel Job Backs ODNI Role in Intelligence Integration. With continued perceptions of bloated government bureaucracies and Washington growing too big to function, one of the offices that has come under the chopping block is the Office of the Director for National Intelligence, which oversees all 16 intelligence agencies that make up the intelligence community.

The criticism of some is that the office is too large and has become politicized, according to reporting by the Wall Street Journal. However, Sue Gordon - President Donald Trump's nominee for the ODNI's No. 2 position - defended the office's role as an important integrator and provider of an equal voice for all intelligence organs.

"As a CIA officer, I think when it was formed, I couldn't imagine why we needed something; heck, we were the Central Intelligence Agency, how could you need anything more than that," Gordon told the Senate Intelligence Committee during her July 19 confirmation hearing. "As I look at it now, the integrated functions that the ODNI provides, particularly over time, have been remarkable in bringing together in ways we couldn't have."

Gordon, who is currently the deputy director at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, provided the example of the FBI, which under the existing construct now has a seat at the same intelligence table, allowing the intelligence community, or IC, as well as the US government "to tackle some of our most difficult threats because we have the mechanisms to bring them together."

Former Intelligence Director James Clapper Is Writing a Book. James Clapper, the former director of National Intelligence who has clashed with President Donald Trump, has a book deal.

Viking told The Associated Press on Thursday that Clapper, 76, will write about his 6 1/2 years as head of National Intelligence during President Barack Obama's administration and his long career in military and government service. The book is currently untitled and scheduled for 2018.

Clapper, who stepped down at the end of Obama's second term, will cover everything from the killing of Osama bin Laden to the intelligence documents leaked by Edward Snowden. According to Viking, Clapper also will give "the truth" about alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election. Trump has disputed such stories and said that Clapper agrees with his assertion that the Trump campaign did not collude with the Russians. Clapper has said he was not in a position to know about collusion, but believes the Russians did attempt to influence the campaign, a view widely held in the intelligence community.

He has also criticized the president for firing FBI Director James Comey and said that democratic institutions were "under assault" by Trump. Clapper said in a statement Thursday that he will offer a "warts and all" account of his experiences and that friends had urged him to tell his story. Viking, an imprint of Penguin Random House, said in its announcement that Clapper will address such issues as transparency in government and the ethics of intelligence gathering and will "counter the narrative about surveillance of American citizens."

Section II - CONTEXT & PRECEDENCE

'Darknet' Suspect's Flashy Cars Raised Eyebrows in Thailand. The neighbors had their suspicions.

The young Canadian accused of masterminding the world's leading "darknet" internet marketplace lived a seemingly quiet life for more than a year with his Thai girlfriend in a middle-class neighborhood on the outskirts of Bangkok.

But the flashy cars he drove stood out.

There was the nearly $1 million, metallic gray Lamborghini. There was the Porsche, and then the Mini Cooper for his girlfriend. All in an area where people drive pickup trucks and children tool around on plastic tricycles. [Read More: Kaewjinda/abcnews/21Jul2017]

How Japan Lost World War II: An American Spy's Story of Seduction and Intrigue. On December 7, 1941, hours after Japan's surprise assault on the US naval base at Pearl Harbor, Tokyo's Imperial air force also attacked the Philippines, bombing Manila and other cities.

Claire Phillips, a singer from Portland, Oregon, was trapped in the Philippine capital when the attack began. Within days, she fled to the hills of Bataan, where she tended to the sick and wounded. There, she encountered American and Filipino guerrilla fighters who had escaped after being ordered to surrender to the Japanese army in April 1942. Eventually, an American rebel commander asked her to return to Manila to send supplies. Despite the obvious danger, she agreed.

With help from friends, Phillips started running Tsubaki Club, which soon became the hottest nightspot in Manila for Japanese officers, who knew her only as Madame Tsubaki, a Filipina saloon owner. In reality, she was something else - an American spy. [Read More: Eisner/newsweek/22Jul2017]

Remembering CIA's Heroes: Richard Daniel Krobock. Richard "Rick" Daniel Krobock had only been a CIA officer for five months when, in March 1987, he was killed in a helicopter crash in Central America.

At the time of his death, Rick was on a search and rescue mission in the region. No direct evidence was found pinpointing the cause of the crash.

Early Years: Rick Krobock was born in Trenton, New Jersey, on December 5, 1955. He had two older brothers - twins - and moved frequently in his childhood. His dad, a West Point Military Academy graduate, moved the family to Scituate, Massachusetts, when Rick was 7 years old. Growing up in Massachusetts, Rick developed several close friendships and, despite his travels to far-off lands, he maintained those same friendships throughout his life.

As a teenager, Rick loved athletics - including hockey and track - and was twice selected to his high school's all-start football team. He graduated from Scituate High School in 1974, worked that summer as a house painter, and then enrolled at the University of Massachusetts in the fall. He left the university the following spring and, unsure of what he wanted to do with his life, took an interim job at a gas station. [Read More: cia/20Jul/2017]

I Was the Real Moonraker: Bond Author Ian Fleming Recruited Teenager for Secret Mission to Spy on German Nuclear Bomb Programme That Inspired 007 Tale. The inspiration behind the 007 film Moonraker has been revealed by a veteran who was recruited by Ian Fleming as a teen spy to stop the Nazis from building a nuclear bomb.

Peter Lyons, now 92, was just 19 when Fleming asked him to join a specialist Commando Unit he led called the 30th Assault Unit, which was tasked with seizing material the Germans were gathering to construct a nuclear bomb.

Mr. Lyons was part of a group of just three Commandos sent behind enemy lines to a factory in Kiel, Germany, to find the uranium needed to build a bomb.

However, while the radioactive substance was not uncovered, it led to capture of German-born scientist Hellmuth Walter in May 1945. [Read More: Dinham/dailymail/17Jul2017]

Spies in the Age of Social Media: Ex-CIA Experts Reveal Challenges of Modern Espionage. For spies working in this digital age, maintaining a cover story in order to covertly steal secrets has become more difficult since the advent of social media. Meanwhile, cutting-edge technology, from face-scanning biometrics to big data analytics, has become both a blessing and curse.

Officials from intelligence agencies, including the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and its British equivalent MI6, or Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), are aware of the problem. The internet has changed the game, two former spies told national security blog The Cipher Brief.

"Hostile intelligence services focus on our social media," said Daniel Hoffman, a former CIA chief of station.

"If they suspect someone of being an intelligence officer or a person of interest worth tracking, then they are going to dissect their social media." [Read More: Murdock/ibtimes/19Jul2017]

How Fifth Cambridge Spy Beat the Courts: John Cairncross Escaped Prosecution Because His Brother Was Government's Top Economic Advisor. The fifth Cambridge spy was spared prosecution because his brother was the Government's chief economic adviser, newly-declassified files reveal.

John Cairncross is believed to have passed atomic secrets to his Russian handlers during the Cold War, causing immense damage.

Files reveal that British officials decided not to pursue a prosecution against the Communist spy after he secretly confessed.

They feared they did not have enough evidence, but they also worried damaging headlines would embarrass his brother. [Read More: Ellicott/dailymail/19Jul2017]

Little Known WWII Spy Agency Celebrates 75 Years. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Office of Strategic Services, an espionage unit that was crucial in winning World War II. And in time with the occasion, the agency is being awarded one of the nation's highest civilian honors - Congressional Gold Medal.

Before there was the CIA there was the OSS. The Office of Strategic Services was the predecessor to CIA and US Special Operations Command that includes the Navy SEALs and the Green Berets.

The agency was created after the attack on Pearl Harbor and when it became apparent that Hitler was a threat to the world.

"The actual date is June 13th, 1942 when President Roosevelt signed the executive order 69 that created the OSS and named then Col. Donovan as its director. [Donovan] eventually became a two-star general," said Charles Pinck, president of the OSS Society. Pinck's father was part of the OSS who went behind enemy lines in China, which was occupied by the Japanese. [Read More: Stewart/wtop/23Jul2017]

Section III - COMMENTARY

Espionage Against the US Continues, Even After the Cold War. There are still people who think of espionage as part of the old Cold War and in the past. The reality is that espionage is all around us.

It's widely assumed that foreign espionage is focused solely on the US military and State Department to gain insight on military actions and foreign policy. Sadly, that thinking is also incorrect.

Foreign espionage agents not only target the military's current actions and future movements, but also military research and development (R&D) to learn what emerging technologies are a potential threat to their hostile countries. R&D information is stolen to protect or strengthen the countries that steal it.

Spying Is a Way to Understand Foreign Politics and Increase Wealth. Espionage is also a way for nation-states to understand the current geopolitical situation and to prevent wars. Some countries, however, commit economic espionage to increase their wealth by targeting information that can expose national or industrial intentions and capabilities.

The Ex-Spy Who Casts a Light on the Trump-Russia Saga. Whatever has gone wrong with the latest season of The Americans?

No, I am not talking about the critically acclaimed American television drama about a pair of Soviet sleeper agents living a double life as suburban parents in the DC suburbs. I am thinking of that other espionage thriller playing out on the Potomac: the family drama with the eager-to-please son, his friend the Azeri pop star, the provincial Russian lawyer, and the flamboyant UK publicist.

Over the past week, new details have continued to emerge about Donald Trump Jr's now infamous June 2016 meeting with the Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, arranged by Robert Goldstone, the ruddy, pudgy tabloid journalist turned PR man.

Like a stack of Russian nesting dolls, the number of people attending has increased from five to eight, while new characters have emerged - including Rinat Akhmetshin, a Russian-American DC lobbyist with a penchant for opera, fine wine and imported orange bicycles. [Read More: Weaver/ft/18Jul2017]

The Man McMaster Couldn't Fire. Just 24 days into his tenure as Donald Trump's national-security adviser, Michael Flynn was forced to resign, having reportedly misled Vice President Mike Pence about his contacts with Russian officials. When Flynn departed, the men and women he'd appointed to the National Security Council grew nervous about their own jobs, and with good reason. The new national-security adviser, General H.R. McMaster, promptly began clearing out Flynn's people, among them Dave Cattler, the deputy assistant to the president for regional affairs, Adam Lovinger, a strategic affairs analyst on loan from the Pentagon, and KT McFarland, Flynn's deputy, who was eased out with the ambassadorship to Singapore. Even Steve Bannon, among the most powerful people in the White House, was removed from the meetings of the NSC Principal's Committee, where he had been installed early on in the administration.

There was one person, however, who McMaster couldn't get rid of: Ezra Cohen-Watnick, the senior director for intelligence programs. McMaster tried to remove him in March, but President Trump, at the urging of Bannon and Jared Kushner, told McMaster that Cohen-Watnick was staying, as first reported by Politico. According to a senior White House official, the two men had a sit-down meeting the following week in which McMaster acknowledged that he hadn't been able to do what he wanted to do, and that they would keep things as they are and "see how they go for a while." That was over four months ago. That Cohen-Watnick, 31 years old and largely unknown before entering the administration, has become unfireable reveals how important he has become to the Trump White House, where loyalty is prized.

The senior in Cohen-Watnick's title reflects the importance of his job, if not the level of experience he brings to it. The senior director for intelligence programs on the NSC is a powerful position, designed to coordinate and liaise between the US intelligence community and the White House.

"If the incumbent has an effective working relationship with the national-security adviser or even the president directly, the senior director for intelligence has an opportunity to exercise considerable influence on intelligence policy, covert actions, and sensitive collection operations," said Stephen Slick, a former CIA official who held the position during the Bush administration.

Obituaries

Patricia Bamett-Brubaker, 102, former OSS, and Deputy Director of INR at State Department, died of a stroke on 1 June 2017 in Mitchellville, MD. She joined the State Department after WWII and retired in 1980 as Deputy Director of the Office of Intelligence (INR) for East Asia and the Pacific. Mrs. Barnett-Brubaker was born Patricia Glover in White Plains, NY, and moved to the Washington area in 1943 to work for the Office of Strategic Services, a brief wartime intelligence service. She was active maintaining hiking trails as a member of the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club. At the ages of 75, 80, 85 and 90, she hiked the full 184 miles of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.

Olive Yang. She was born to royalty in British colonial Burma, but rejected that life to become a cross-dressing warlord whose CIA-supplied army established opium trade routes across the Golden Triangle. By the time of her death, last week at 90, she had led hundreds of men, endured prison and torture, generated gossip for her relationship with a film actress and, finally, helped forge a truce between ethnic rebels and the government.

Olive Yang grew up as one of 11 children in an ethnic Chinese family of hereditary rulers of what was then the semiautonomous Shan state of Kokang. According to relatives, she wore boys' clothes, refused to bind her feet and frequently fell in love with her brothers' romantic interests.

Concerned about their unconventional daughter, her parents arranged for her to marry a younger cousin. Shortly after she became pregnant, archives show, she left her husband to pursue a life among opium-trafficking bandits. Her son, Duan Jipu - named for the American jeeps Ms. Yang had seen in the Chinese city of Kunming during World War II - was raised by other family members.

Ms. Yang's pursuit of a career as a militia leader and opium smuggler grew in part out of her desperation to escape traditional gender roles, her relatives said. "It was a temptation she couldn't resist," wrote her niece Jackie Yang in "House of Yang," a family history published in 1997. [Read More: Paluch/nytimes/21Jul2017]

Charles Edward "Charlie" Jackson, former CIA. Charles Edward "Charlie" Jackson, 82, died Sunday, 9 July 2017.

Charlie attended Memphis State University for one semester before enlisting in the US Air Force in January 1953. Following tours in the United States and England, Charlie returned to Memphis in 1956 where he completed his degree work at Memphis State in 1959.

Thomas O. Dixon, 94, former NSA SIGINT EXPERT, died of prostate cancer 21 July 2017 in Edgewater, MD. Tom earned his BS degree in Electrical Engineering from Virginia Polytechnic Institute in 1947 and an MPA from American University. During WWII, he served in the US Army 203rd Anti-Aircraft Artillery (Automatic Weapons Battalion) using his engineering and math skills to direct fire on enemy aircraft, V2 rockets and later in the war, enemy positions. Tom trained in the US and Scotland and participated in combat in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. From 1947 to 1955, Tom worked at the Naval Research Laboratory, specializing in precision measurements of underwater sound instrumentation, where he made the first deep-water underwater sound propagation measurements between submarines and surface ships. In 1955, he moved to NSA where he remained until 1989, specializing in the design of HF radio equipment, HF antennas, and field testing of experimental equipment, mostly overseas. After retiring from the government, he designed large computer-controlled antenna switching systems that were used worldwide.

He was also a member of several other associations, and was a proud member of The Phoenix Society. He enjoyed computers, woodworking, gardening, model railroading, boating, and RV camping.
