Event Description

 

The emergence of new threats and game-changing technologies requires constant adaptation from America’s intelligence services. As the former head of both the National Security Agency (NSA) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), General Michael Hayden has spent the bulk of his career working to keep US intelligence capabilities ahead of the curve.

 

In his new tell-all book, “Playing to the Edge: American Intelligence in the Age of Terror” (Penguin Press, 2016), General Hayden relives his efforts to shepherd the NSA and CIA through periods of profound change and navigate the post-9/11 threat environment.
