About this listen
By TD Barnes
The CIA’s secret weapons of intelligence. The birth of modern reconnaissance. The covert science behind espionage.
In the shadows of the Cold War, the CIA embarked on an unprecedented technological revolution—one that would redefine intelligence gathering and national security. From its earliest days, the Agency recognized that superior science and technology were the keys to outmaneuvering America’s adversaries. This vision led to the creation of the Directorate of Science & Technology (DS&T), a clandestine unit responsible for some of the most groundbreaking advancements in aerial reconnaissance, stealth technology, and satellite surveillance.
At the heart of these efforts was Area 51, the birthplace of the U-2 spy plane, the A-12 Archangel, and the SR-71 Blackbird—aircraft that could fly higher and faster than anything before them. But beyond aviation, the CIA’s black ops science expanded into electronic warfare, advanced reconnaissance satellites, and counterintelligence innovations that shaped modern espionage.
This book pulls back the curtain on the high-stakes political battles, technological breakthroughs, and classified missions that defined the DS&T’s early years. Through declassified records, firsthand accounts, and expert analysis, Black Ops Science & Technology uncovers how the CIA’s relentless pursuit of covert technological superiority changed the course of intelligence history.
