Reflections on an NSA Career, A mini-book

Monday, January 20th, 2025

When I first wrote Are You Listening?, I wondered what to do with the other less-relevant information. Are You Listening is a book about leadership, but what about the inside look at the NSA? What about they spying controversies? What about Snowden, abuse, and misconduct that I expect people would be interested to see?

In the end, I decided to separate it out into this mini-book, free with signup to my mailing list for updates on the book (you can sign up here, below, or in the column to the right). To give people an idea of what's in the book, here are the first 10 pages as a preview:
