Spies and Deception: The History of Espionage in the United States
June 8, 2019 @ 9:00 am - 12:30 pm
$65
Images of eavesdropping technicians in vans and trenchcoat-wearing operatives exchanging information in dimly lit alleyways dominate our public imagination of espionage, but what is the reality behind these fanciful cinematic notions? This Dialogues seminar will pair two experts on spywork to discuss the history of the U.S. intelligence regime in the modern era, starting with the origins of the CIA and including the development of other intelligence agencies and strategies for deceiving enemies.We’ll investigate how well espionage actually works, the role technology has played over time, and why the U.S. still participates in deception and espionage. (This message will now self-destruct!)
