A true story by a young lady that from college at USC joins the CIA right before 9/11. Is on a team tracking terrorists from satellites and also travels to foreign countries and works with those countries CIA. Interviews prisoners trying to gain knowledge of activities. Sections of the book are marked out--she says has gone through the government and they did this for national security issues. After a few years in CIA, she decides she wants to have a home and more of a life and applies and is accepted into the FBI. Her FBI training was rough--I guess the FBI doesn't like the CIA much and doesn't sound like they like women either and they took these out on her. She makes it through training & is stationed in LA area but seems to be given more typical female jobs rather than challenging ones she wants. At end she said left FBI after 15 months and now teaches at a girls school challenging her students on foreign affairs and investigations. I good read and sounds like the type of person our government should have kept as a lifer in one bureau or another.
There are like 11 wish list for this book on PBS so will probably post & mail off at some point but no hurry right now.
