Malcolm Nance reads from The Terrorist Recognition Handbook: A Manual for Predicting and Identifying Terrorist Activities.

"12 noon – 1 pm.

Terrorists can come from any background, any age group, either gender, and yet somehow they must be identified and neutralized. As an internationally recognized expert, author, and educator on the Iraq insurgency, jihadist tactics, and Al Qaeda’s global organization, Malcolm ... (more)Nance has studied the telltale characteristics of terrorist operations and developed an intelligence-based approach to observing and analyzing behavior for warning signs. In The Terrorist Recognition Handbook he uncovers the terrorists’ means, methods, organization, and motivations. He identifies the key steps that every terrorist group will always follow, and how and why groups use and choose their weapons. Join Nance for an eye-opening look at terrorism as the sum of its parts rather than as an incomprehensible force.

Jefferson Morley reads from Our Man in Mexico: Winston Scott and the Hidden History of the CIA.

"12 noon – 1 pm.

Mexico City in the 1960s was a hotbed of spies, revolutionaries, and assassins. In the thick of this Cold War Casablanca was spymaster Winston Mackinley Scott. As chief of CIA’s Mexico City station from 1956 to 1969, Scott played a key role in the creation and rise of the Agency. ... (more)In his new book, Our Man in Mexico, investigative reporter Jefferson Morley traces Scott’s career from wartime G-Man to consummate intelligence officer with three Mexican presidents on his payroll. But it was Scott’s role in the surveillance of Lee Harvey Oswald just prior to President John F. Kennedy’s assassination that led to the spymaster’s disillusionment. Join Morley for a revealing look at Scott’s life and his startling rebuttal of a key finding in the Warren Report.

Kristie Macrakis discusses Seduced by Secrets: Inside the Stasi's Spy-Tech World.

"12 noon – 1 pm.

The East German Ministry for State Security, the Stasi, was one of the most effective and feared spy agencies in history. As it stole secrets from abroad and developed gadgets at home, the Stasi overestimated the power of secrets to solve problems and created an insular spy culture ... (more)more intent on securing its own power rather than protecting East German national security. Now for the first time, Stasi technical methods and sources are revealed. In Seduced by Secrets, author and historian Kristie Macrakis recreates the Stasi’s clandestine world through biographies of agents, defectors, and officers and by describing their James Bond-like techniques and gadgets. Join the author for this eye opening exploration of spy-tech which reaches far beyond the Stasi to the world’s other top spy agencies.
