Who Are You? How Passports Changed Identity. Dr. Craig Robertson Smithsonian Associates, Interview Series In today's world of constant identification checks, it's difficult to recall that there was ever a time when "proof of identity" was not a part of everyday life. And as anyone knows who has ever lost a passport, or let one expire on the eve of international travel, the passport has become an indispensable document. But how and why did this form of identification take on such a crucial role? In the first history of the passport in the United States, Craig Robertson offers an illuminating account of how this document, above all others, came to be considered a reliable answer to the question: who are you? Historically, the passport originated as an official letter of introduction addressed to foreign governments on behalf of American travelers, but as Robertson shows, it became entangled in contemporary negotiations over citizenship and other forms of identity documentation. Prior to World War I, passports were not required to cross American borders, and while some people struggled to understand how a passport could accurately identify a person, others took advantage of this new document to advance claims for citizenship. From the strategic use of passport applications by freed slaves and a campaign to allow married women to get passports in their maiden names, to the "passport nuisance" of the 1920s and the contested addition of photographs and other identification technologies on the passport, Robertson sheds new light on issues of individual and national identity in modern U.S. history. In this age of heightened security, especially at international borders, Robertson's The Passport in America provides anyone interested in questions of identification and surveillance with a richly detailed, and often surprising, history of this uniquely important document.

INSIDE CAMP DAVID, Adm. Mike Giorgione Smithsonian Associates, Interview Series Deep in the woods of Maryland's Catoctin Mountains, up miles of unmarked road lined with towering oaks, sits an intensely private and fascinating complex that serves as the presidential family retreat: Camp David. Invitations to this exclusive getaway go only to a select few, while the rest of us have been left to wonder, "What is it really like?" That's the question retired Rear Admiral Michael Giorgione aims to answer with Inside Camp David: The Private World of the Presidential Retreat (Little, Brown and Company). A former Camp David commander, Giorgione served under both Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, and has a first-hand understanding of the connection between the first family and this notable sanctuary. Camp David has played a vital role in American history over the past 75 years as a setting for presidents and national and international leaders to converge, converse, and, perhaps most importantly, relax. It was where FDR and Churchill planned D-Day (the porch where they sat still remains); the 1978 Camp David Peace Accords took place; George W. Bush spent the night after 9/11; and Barack Obama taught his daughter Malia how to drive. Mike Giorgione will be presenting at the Smithsonian Associates series, January 23, 2018.

The Ghosts Of Langley, John Prados Smithsonian Associates, Interview Series By its very nature, the Central Intelligence Agency is an organization whose operations and history are necessarily cloaked in secrecy. What can outsiders really expect to learn about how the agency operates? John Prados, a senior fellow of the National Security Archive based at George Washington University, offers a clue: Organizations reflect the characters and personalities of their founders and giants in the field-for better or worse. Through a critical examination of CIA leaders past and present, Prados offers a window into the often-unknowable workings of the world of Langley. He looks at a series of CIA leaders, including George Tenet, Richard Helms, and Frank Wisner, analyzing their influences on the spirit and direction of the agency both during and after their tenures. In the process, he surveys key operations in modern CIA history-both successful and controversial-and offers insights into the agency's potential evolution.
