Awesome time at @IntlSpyMuseum last night for Spy Fest! In addition to engaging with several hundred attendees, I got a chance to play with a real Enigma machine (thanks to @NatCryptoMuseum and @intelhistorian for sharing it)

#TechTuesday: NCSC’s Wall of Spies Artifact, the Lorenz SZ 40/42, known as TUNNY. This encryption machine was used by the German High Command during WWII, but its code was broken by the British, yielding insights into German strategy and helping the Allies in the D-Day invasion.

I suck at self-promotion, but since it’s the gift-giving season…I’ve written three books. People outside my family have enjoyed them.
Nuking the Moon (quirky history!)
The Nuclear Spies (more serious, but spooks, nukes, and Nazis)
Covert City (the city built by spies)
