About this series
In two months, the US will confront the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. In the decade since, what has the country learned? What is its espionage history, and why is it important? What is the appropriate balance between civil liberties and national security? This riveting Chautauqua event, a collaboration with the International Spy Museum, will examine the American intelligence community, the methods by which it collects and analyzes data, and how it works with America's justice system. Don't miss this unique opportunity to learn about sophisticated information-gathering tools in a world with billions of bits of information. Decide for yourself if the general public can ever know the real details of covert espionage efforts, let alone judge if these efforts are working.
