Analog Spooks: An Autobiography of the World's Greatest Operator Apprentice - Frederick Vance Fuller

Descriere Analog Spooks: An Autobiography of the World's Greatest Operator Apprentice - Frederick Vance Fuller

\nIn Analog Spooks, Fuller shares a vivid tapestry of experiences from his formative years in the Finger Lakes region of New York during World War II. The narrative unfolds with humorous anecdotes from his early days in the United States Navy, including a memorable six-month stint aboard a WWII Destroyer Escort based in New Orleans (the Big Easy). A particularly amusing flight aboard a B25 Bomber, reminiscent of Jimmy Doolittle's legendary missions, adds a light-hearted touch to his military journey. \n \nTransitioning from humor to gravity, Fuller delves into the intricate world of Signals Intelligence (SIGINT). His 28-month tour on the USS Belmont (AGTR-4), a sister ship to the USS Liberty, provides a unique perspective on critical historical events, including the battle of Santo Domingo, the first French nuclear detonation in the South Pacific, and others. The book unveils previously undisclosed SIGINT operations, offering insights into geopolitical dynamics that shaped the era. \n \nFuller recounts his Catch-22 experiences in Vietnam as the Collection Management SIGINT Advisor to the South Vietnamese military, navigating an obstinate and unyielding landscape before and after the U.S. withdrawal. He sheds light on the harsh realities faced by allies during this tumultuous period, revealing events that have remained concealed until now. \n \nThe book concludes with a highly successful career (post-Vietnam) with the NSA's Communication Security (COMSEC) organization.\n \nNOTE: NSA HAS APPROVED THIS BOOK FOR RELEASE TO THE PUBLIC.\n
