[ Extracts ] In my non-fiction book, The Spy in Moscow Station, I describe the confusion, denial and outright hostility directed by CIA and State Department at an NSA officer, Charles Gandy, who had identified both the source of electronic espionage in our Moscow embassy and the means by which the Soviet KGB hid that source from our most sophisticated surveillance detection systems.
It took Gandy more than six years to convince CIA and the State Department of his discoveries, despite presenting incontrovertible evidence from the very beginning. And even with an abundance of evidence, it still required a direct order from President Reagan, who’d grown weary of the Moscow embassy confusion, to give Gandy the freedom to assemble and present all of his proof.
The Spy in Moscow Station is relevant today because the story contains all the clues—but one—to the current Havana “mystery.” The book, which both NSA and CIA approved for release in 2019, describes two Russian espionage techniques, radar flooding and radio frequency (RF) signal hiding, that are highly pertinent to the Havana syndrome.
