Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work in the U.S. Government's top secret intelligence field? Sam Raskin gives us an inside look into the life of a civil servant working for more than thirty years in what was originally known as "No Such Agency." The National Security Agency (NSA) was officially established on November 4, 1952 but kept secret until Congress disclosed its existence in 1975. NSA employees were never permitted to reveal anything about their work to family or friends. When they left the Agency, they had to sign a contract under penalty of law never to divulge the nature and specifics of their work without review.* Over the years, there have been leaks, defectors and spies revealing the NSA "family jewels" but there have been few published descriptions of the day-to-day experience of employees working there. Raskin shares with us stories about the bureaucracy, burn bags, Area 51, exotic travels, and all of the unique opportunities he had through his work in the Agency. Raskin gives light to all those tens of thousands of unseen steadfast government employees who work tirelessly everyday to keep our country safe. * This book has been reviewed by NSA and released for publication with redactions.
