Malcolm Nance
New York Times bestselling author Malcolm Nance tells the swashbuckling story of his life as a modern-day spy.
For over thirty-five years, Malcolm Nance served his nation loyally, honorably, and in near-complete secrecy. As a spy, he lived the values he learned growing up in a family whose military service stretched back to the Civil War, becoming a multilingual Middle East counterterrorism intelligence expert in the US Navy.
Thinker, Sailor, Black Man, Spy follows Nance’s action-filled trajectory through international conflicts. From skyjackings and genocide to wars in Kuwait, Iran, Iraq, Libya and Bosnia, Nance provided some of the most critical intelligence that safeguarded the lives of the American people. Throughout his career, the tools of the espionage war at the NSA changed dramatically and Nance was adept at exploiting these advanced electronic capabilities. He helped develop training for US forces to survive captivity and torture by al-Qaeda/ISIS terrorists and became noteworthy for testifying against its abuse by the CIA. When the full-scale invasion of the Ukraine began, he joined the Ukrainian Army’s International Legion to defend their fledgling democracy.
Nance’s stellar career offers a compelling argument for the value of a culturally diverse espionage force. Both a behind the scenes look at America’s Signals Intelligence spy world and an eye-opening treatise on the clash between professionalism, meritocracy and racism, Thinker, Sailor, Black Man, Spy could not be more timely.
批評家のレビュー
Praise for Thinker, Sailor, Black Man, Spy
“Nobody writes the secret world like someone who actually lived in it. Malcolm Nance spent forty years listening in the dark so the rest of us could sleep. This is the rare spy memoir that’s also a great American story — unflinching about the country’s failures, and still fiercely in love with it. We should all aspire to that. And Malcolm inspires us to it once more.”
—Miles Taylor, former Chief of Staff, Department of Homeland Security
"Malcolm Nance's memoir, TSBMS is an amazing American geopolitical narrative that reveals a wide range of heretofore secret NSA spy operations from Iran to Libya, Chad to Beirut. It is a gripping spy narrative replete with danger, adventure, victories, disasters, and tragedies. It is a must for all readers of espionage history!"
—Dr Jason Johnson, MSNOW News host and Professor of communications and journalism Morgan State University.
“TSBMS is an incredible top secret Odyssey of a rare African-American spy. Historical black spies including James Lafayette. Harriet Tubman. Abraham Galloway and Josephine Baker never wrote the details of their daring missions in an autobiography. Malcolm Nance does and pays homage to them while unspooling a litany of incredible missions that span decades of dedication while facing racial and political challenges. He is open and honest about the sometimes stifling racism, utter idiocy and bone chilling linguistic, and cultural ignorance of the community that works in the shadows. But he is just as honest and proud of the honor he found protecting America abroad. It’s a dramatic telling of a unique spy history at its absolute finest. “
—Dexter Ingram, author of The Spy Archive; former Acting Director, Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS
