“NSA 是世界上规模最大、最隐秘、最强大的情报机构。凭借三万八千名员工，它在预算、人力和影响力上都让 CIA 相形见绌。最近的头条新闻更是将其与遍布全欧洲的经济间谍活动以及正在进行的对恐怖分子头目 Osama bin Laden 的搜捕联系在一起。”“James Bamford 于 1982 年凭借备受热议的畅销书 The Puzzle Palace 首次打破了围绕 NSA 的沉默之墙。在 Body of Secrets 中，他通过独家接触到数千份

……光是目前这些就已经极其引人入胜了。从我读到的内容来看，我很乐意把它推荐给其他对 NSA 背后历史感兴趣的 HN 读者。我猜他的另外几本书（《秘密之躯》和《影子工厂》）肯定也很好看。
…it's extremely interesting already. From what I've already seen, I'd have no problem recommending it to other HN readers who are interested in the history behind the NSA. I'm guessing his other books (Body of Secrets and The Shadow Factory) are also going to be great reads.
……足球场。我相信他们犹他州的新数据中心会极大地扩充他们的实力。建议你读读詹姆斯·班福德（James Bamford）写 NSA 的三本书来进一步了解。（《谜之宫殿》、《秘密之躯》和《影子工厂》。）http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bamford#Books
…football field. I'm sure their new data center in Utah will be greatly enlarging their capabilities. I'd suggest you read James Bamford's three books on the NSA for further insight. (The Puzzle Palace, Body of Secrets, and The Shadow Factory.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bamford#Books
看到这个标题我立马就想到了这个：https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods 我记得大概 20 年前在詹姆斯·班福德那本写 NSA 的神作《秘密之躯》里读到过这事。
I instantly thought of this when reading the headline: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods I remember reading about this around 20 years ago in James Bamford's excellent NSA book Body of Secrets.
弗雷德·卡普兰的《暗黑领域》（Dark Territory）。跟这个帖子的主题一样。还有詹姆斯·班福德的《谜之宫》（Puzzle Palace）或《秘密机构》（Body of Secrets）。主题：NSA。
Dark Territory, by Fred Kaplan. Same topic as this thread. Also either Puzzle Palace or Body of Secrets by James Bamford. Topic: NSA.
除了《影子工厂》，他还写了《谜之宫殿》和《秘密之躯》。我不确定这三本书之间有多少重合的内容，也不清楚是否有特定的阅读顺序，但我现在正在啃《谜之宫殿》。不管怎么说，内容都极其引人入胜……
In addition to The Shadow Factory he also wrote The Puzzle Palace and Body of Secrets. I'm not sure how much material is shared between the three books, or if they're meant to be read in any certain order, but I'm plowing through The Puzzle Palace now. In any case, it's wildly interesting…
Bamford 在他的某本书里简要提到了这一点，要么是《迷宫宫殿》（The Puzzle Palace），要么是《秘密之身》（Body of Secrets）。他们在 1990 年代之前一段时间就已经具备芯片制造能力了。
Bamford mentions it briefly in one of his books, either The Puzzle Palace or Body of Secrets. They've had chip fab capabilities for some time before the 1990's.
