CIA Secret Technologies
Declassified Research into Surveillance, Experimental Weapons, Advanced Technology, and Intelligence InnovationBy Michael Harrington
Length1h 15m
About this audiobook
A cat wired for espionage. A camera that photographed the Soviet Union from orbit. An aircraft so fast that no missile ever caught it.
The Declassified Files: CIA Secret Technologies explores the hidden world of America's most ambitious intelligence technologies. Drawing on declassified CIA, NSA, and Department of Defense records, this volume examines the Corona spy satellites, the SR-71 Blackbird, stealth aircraft, the CIA's early investment in the technology behind Google Earth, the failed Acoustic Kitty project, Operation Ivy Bells, and the enduring mystery of Havana Syndrome.
Rather than repeating myths or speculation, this book follows the documentary record to reveal how decades of secret research, surveillance technology, aerospace innovation, and Cold War engineering transformed modern intelligence—and where the official evidence still leaves important questions unanswered.
Volume VI of The Declassified Files series.
