 D\n\nThe Unexpected Spy: From the CIA to the FBI\, My Secret Life Taking D
 own Some of the World's Most Notorious Terrorists\n\nTracy Walder is a for
 mer Staff Operations Officer (SOO) at the CIA's Counterterrorism Center an
 d a Special Agent at the FBI's Los Angeles Field Office specializing in Ch
 inese counterintelligence operations. She sits on the Board of Directors f
 or Girl Security\, a nonprofit\, nonpartisan group that brings national se
 curity curriculum to girls in high schools throughout the US. Tracy Walder
 \, a Jewish American woman\, was recruited by the CIA out of her sorority 
 at the University of Southern California. On 9/11 she was tracking terrori
 sts with President George W. Bush\, Vice President Dick Cheney and Secreta
 ry of State Colin Powell looking over her shoulder. Driven to stop the new
  breed of terror that war created\, Walder picked up her alias identity\, 
 flew overseas\, and continued the hunt. Walder debriefed al-Qaeda's top me
 n‚ Jihadists who swore they'd never speak to a woman\, particularly an A
 merican woman‚ and earned their trust\, thus gaining critical and life-s
 aving information. Walder held clandestine meetings in clandestine locales
  with spies and embedded civilians from other countries. She followed the 
 trails she found across North Africa\, Europe\, and the Middle East. She w
 ould eventually move over to the FBI working in counterintelligence where 
 she faced rampant sexism. The Unexpected Spy is a powerful memoir about a 
 woman who made a career in a male-dominated field and what she's taken awa
 y from it now that she's no longer in government service.\n\n&nbsp\;
