About this listen

What was it like to sell cryptographic equipment post WWII, after the era of Alan Turing and the Enigma machine? Join the author as he markets more modern equipment to the “CIA’s” and “NSA’s” of some 80 countries around the world; gaining trust where the first instinct is to trust no one, especially someone from the U.S. In this intriguing world, learn about the relationships between intelligence organizations and who they “really” consider a trustworthy ally and friend.

Walk beside him as he faces challenges and adventures that are sometimes dangerous and scary and sometimes humorous and fun, such as:

  • Supporting the Omani Armed Forces as they fought the Yemini and Red Chinese backed rebels and helping Oman win.
  • Driving through war torn Beirut in the middle of the night.
  • Defeating a Peruvian company sponsored by their Navy that tried to copy and reverse engineer his company’s equipment.
  • Handling the disaster when one of his company’s products was cryptographically broken by a slightly deaf army sergeant.
  • And more…..

Laugh, cry, and experience fear as the author navigates his way through these situations, eventually overcoming the odds to make his company successful.
