Abstract: Abstract It was 1959 and the Cold War was escalating steadily, moving from a state of palpable sustained tension toward the overt threat to global peace to be posed by the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis – the closest the world has ever come to nuclear war. Quite by chance, I found myself thrust into this vortex, involved in top-level espionage work. I would soon write the software for the world’s first spy satellite.
