Abstract
The CIA is a popular topic of study for intelligence historians. Renowned for covert action and human intelligence operations, we know a lot about how they became woven into the tapestry of world history. More recently, scientific and technical intelligence emerged as a central theme, uncovering the work of the ‘Wizards of Langley’. This article suggests we still have much to learn. Exploring CIA’s historic interest in communications intelligence, it uncovers ways they controlled a significant proportion of the world’s communications systems. Working internationally, and disagreeing with NSA, the CIA influenced important systems well into the twenty-first century.
