What if the most powerful secrets shaping our world were hidden in plain sight? Annie Jacobsen is America’s most fearless investigative journalist. A seven-time bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize finalist, she’s spent decades uncovering the truth behind the CIA, covert military operations, nuclear war planning, and the government’s deepest classified programs - from Area 51 to assassination missions you were never meant to know about.

Without warning, North Korea launches a nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missile at the United States. American satellites detect the launch within seconds, setting off a frantic, harrowing sequence of events that threatens to engulf the planet in a nuclear holocaust. That’s the terrifying hypothetical storyline that journalist Annie Jacobsen imagines in her new book. It’s a minute-by-minute, and occasionally second-by-second account of how the vast U.S. national security apparatus would respond to a “bolt out of the blue” attack with a nuclear weapon. It’s a riveting story and the supreme cautionary tale. Shane Harris spoke with Jacobsen about the book, the present threat of a nuclear world war, and her body of work, which has dug deeply into the dark corners of intelligence and national security.

Ever since the genesis of this podcast, I've been dying to have this conversation! Today's episode features Annie Jacobsen, one of my best friends, Remote Year travel compadre, former RY roomie and just an all-around amazing human being. She's been on the podcast before (see the rambunctious group interview in episode #8 ), but I've been dying to have her on to talk a bit more about her long-term struggles with anxiety, what it's like, what the misconceptions and stigmas are, how she's struggled with it, how to better understand it even if you're just trying to support a friend or family member and what it's like to live with anxiety. I'm so grateful to her for sharing her story and for telling some never-before-heard personal stories to paint a really intimate picture of what life with anxiety is like! For show notes, head to coachellyn.com/podcast and, of course, post on instagram and tag me @coachellyn so that I can shout you out and say thank you! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tbydl-podcast/message

"In a perfect world, the State Department is able to work out the conflicts that we're having with other nations. And the second option, traditionally, historically, is war. So only after 1947, after the national security act was this third option put into play, which is the CIA's hidden hand. So in essence if diplomacy fails and war is unwise, call on the CIA's Special Activities Division." Those are the words that investigative journalist and author Annie Jacobsen uses to describe the work of the CIA's paramilitary arm. And that work is the subject of Jacobsen's latest, Surprise, Kill, Vanish: The Secret History of CIA Paramilitary Armies, Operators, and Assassins. In this episode of Stratfor Talks' Pen and Sword, host Fred Burton speaks with Jacobsen about her inspiration, how she conducted her research and what she learned about the element of U.S. foreign policy payed out in secret.

About This Episode It’s no secret that the United States Government undertakes a plethora of &#8220;Classified&#8221; operations and has done so for a long time. The question in many people’s minds, however, is what do they really get up to behind closed doors &#8211; beyond the Classified? Annie Jacobsen is an investigative journalist and bestselling author who passionate about revealing the lengths government and alphabet agencies are prepared to go to in order to maintain “National Security” and solid “defense”. With a deep interest in researching war, weapons, U.S. national security and government secrecy, her newest book, “THE PENTAGON’S BRAIN: An Uncensored History of DARPA, America’s Top Secret Military Research Agency,” delves deep into the questions that we all have about what the government is capable of. Also the author of ”AREA 51: An Uncensored History of America’s Top Secret Military Base,” and “OPERATION PAPERCLIP: The Secret Intelligence Program That Brought Nazi Scientists to America,” Annie Jacobsen is passionate about sharing the truth by avidly researching and compiling declassified government documents and interviewing ex-government personnel, and weaving them into a suspenseful narrative that reveals what’s really going on. More about DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency): Since its inception in 1958, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, has grown to become the Defense Department’s most secret, most powerful, and most controversial military science research and development agency— “the Pentagon’s Brain.” From Agent Orange in Vietnam to insect-sized drones in use today, from the earliest networked computers and the Internet to smart rockets and war zones under twenty-four-hour video surveillance, DARPA is responsible for innovations that have changed the course of war, national security and strategic planning at the highest levels. From DARPA’s earliest defensive advances to hundreds of ongoing programs (including ones in which War on Terror veterans with brain injuries are being used in DARPA experiments—chips are implanted in their brains to try to restore cognitive function), Jacobsen exposes both sides of the DARPA coin: the fantastic technological advances from which we all benefit, and the darker side drawn up in a race for military supremacy. Join us as Annie Jacobsen takes us on a journey behind the scenes of the clandestine intersection of science and the American military that is DARPA.
