A highly entertaining account of a young woman who went straight
from her college sorority to the CIA, where she hunted terrorists
and WMDs Reads like the show bible for Homeland only her story is
real. --Alison Stewart, WNYC A thrilling tale...Walder's fast-paced
and intense narrative opens a window into life in two of America's
major intelligence agencies --Publishers Weekly (starred review)
When Tracy Walder enrolled at the University of Southern
California, she never thought that one day she would offer her pink
beanbag chair in the Delta Gamma house to a CIA recruiter, or that
she'd fly to the Middle East under an alias identity. The
Unexpected Spy is the riveting story of Walder's tenure in the CIA
and, later, the FBI. In high-security, steel-walled rooms in
Virginia, Walder watched al-Qaeda members with drones as President
Bush looked over her shoulder and CIA Director George Tenet brought
her donuts. She tracked chemical terrorists and searched the world
for Weapons of Mass Destruction. She created a chemical terror
chart that someone in the White House altered to convey information
she did not have or believe, leading to the Iraq invasion. Driven
to stop terrorism, Walder debriefed terrorists--men who swore
they'd never speak to a woman--until they gave her leads. She
followed trails through North Africa, Europe, and the Middle East,
shutting down multiple chemical attacks. Then Walder moved to the
FBI, where she worked in counterintelligence. In a single year, she
helped take down one of the most notorious foreign spies ever
caught on American soil. Catching the bad guys wasn't a problem in
the FBI, but rampant sexism was. Walder left the FBI to teach young
women, encouraging them to find a place in the FBI, CIA, State
Department or the Senate--and thus change the world.
