SUMMARY:Book Lecture: Revealing Secrets
DESCRIPTION:The Institute of World Politics | In-Person event \nDescription: About the Lecture: For a long time\, the Australian Signals intelligence (or Sigint) story has been kept secret. Until now… Why does Australia have a national signals intelligence agency? What does it do and why is it controversial? And how significant are its ties with key partners\, the United States\, the United Kingdom\, Canada and New Zealand\, to this arrangement? Revealing Secrets is a compelling account of Australian Signals intelligence\, its efforts at revealing the secrets of other nations\, and keeping ours safe. It brings to light those clever Australians whose efforts were for so long entirely unknown or overlooked. Blaxland and Birgin traverse the royal commissions and reviews that shaped Australia’s intelligence community in the 20th century and consider the advent and the impact of cyber. In unearthing this integral\, if hidden and little understood\, part of Australian statecraft\, this book increases our understanding of the past\, present and what lies ahead. \nAbout the Speakers: John Blaxland is Professor of International Security and Intelligence Studies in the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre (SDSC)\, Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs at the Australian National University (ANU). He is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a Fellow of the Royal Society of New South Wales. He was also formerly a military intelligence officer\, Head of SDSC and Director of the ANU Southeast Asia Institute. He is the author and editor of several publications on military history\, intelligence and international security affairs. Clare Birgin’s career in the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) spanned 30 years\, with a focus on national security and intelligence. She had postings in Warsaw\, Moscow\, Geneva\, and Washington DC as the Liaison Officer of the Office of National Assessments\, followed by postings as Ambassador in Hungary\, Serbia\, Kosovo\, Romania\, North Macedonia and Montenegro. Subsequently she was a Visiting Fellow at the ANU before joining John Blaxland’s history writing team. She has been awarded the Polish Government’s Knight’s Cross Medal and the Bene Merito Medal by the former Polish Foreign Minister. \nThe registration link can be found below.

SUMMARY:In True Face with Jonna Hiestand Mendez and Liza Mundy
DESCRIPTION:The International Spy Museum | In-Person Event \nDescription: Spy Museum board member and former CIA Chief of Disguise Jonna Hiestand Mendez is finally sharing her personal story of what it was really like to be a female spy at the height of the Cold War. Her new book In True Face recounts not only the drama of Mendez’s high-stakes work—how this savvy operator parlayed her “everywoman” appeal into incredible subterfuge—but also the grit and good fortune it took for her to navigate a misogynistic world. \nJoin us for a conversation with Mendez led by bestselling author Liza Mundy. Mundy is uniquely positioned to interview Mendez\, who she featured in her latest book The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA. They’ll discuss Mendez’s incredible spy career and what it took to achieve it. How did a “contract wife” performing secretarial duties for the CIA as a convenience to her husband\, discover her own talent for espionage? How did she rise in a world where she was often underestimated and occasionally undermined? Mendez will share tales of her life undercover\, and how she climbed to the pinnacle of disguise work in the CIA’s Office of Technical Service. Don’t miss this inside story from a woman who has witnessed history from the shadows and knows just how much light to shed on her covert past. \n In True Face and The Sisterhood will be available for sale and signing after the conversation. \nThe registration link can be found below.
