The Secret Sentry
The Untold History of the National Security Agency

Matthew M. Aid

Publisher: Bloomsbury Press/Bloomsbury USA

"This, very simply, is the most informative book ever written on the inside bureaucratic struggles and the outside operations of the National Security Agency. Matthew Aid is our reigning expert on the NSA." —Seymour M. Hersh, author of Chain of Command: The Road from 9/11 to Abu Ghraib

Matthew Aid is a leading intelligence historian and expert on the National Security Agency, and a regular commentator on intelligence matters for the /New York Times/, /Financial Times/, the /National Journal/, the Associated Press, CBS News, NPR and many other media outlets. He lives in Washington, DC.

From the Publisher:
In February 2006, while researching this book, Matthew Aid uncovered a massive and secret document reclassification program—a revelation that made the front page of the New York Times. This was only one of the discoveries Aid has made in two decades of research in formerly top-secret documents. In The Secret Sentry, Aid provides the first ever full history of America’s largest security apparatus, the National Security Agency.

This comprehensive account traces the growth of the agency from 1945 to the present through critical moments in its history, from the Cold War up to its ongoing involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq. Aid explores the Agency’s involvement in the Iraqi weapons intelligence disaster, where evidence that NSA officials called “ambiguous” was used as proof of Iraqi W.M.D. capacity, and reveals the intense debate within the NSA over its unprecedented role, pressed by the Bush-Cheney administration, in spying on U.S. citizens.

The Secret Sentry reveals previously unknown details about superpower geopolitics—offering a shadow history of global affairs, from the creation of Israel to the War on Terror. Today, the NSA has become the most important source of intelligence for the U.S. government, providing 60% of the President’s daily intelligence briefing. This meticulous, engrossing narrative provides the first-ever account of how the NSA became the most far-reaching spy agency in the world.
