The Reluctant Spy


My Secret Life in the CIAs War on Terror

The Reluctant Spy reveals the inner workings of the u.S. intelligence apparatus, the truth behind the torture debate, and the incredible dedication of ordinary men and women doing one of the most extraordinary jobs on earth.

Long before the waterboarding controversy exploded in the media, one CIA agent had already gone public. In a groundbreaking 2007 interview with ABC News, John Kiriakou called waterboarding torturebut admitted that it probably worked. This book, at once a confessional, an adventure story, and a chronicle of Kiriakous life in the CIA, stands as an important, eloquent piece of testimony from a committed American patriot. In February 2002, Kiriakou was the head of counterterrorism in Pakistan. Under his command, in a spectacular raid coordinated with Pakistani agents and the CIAs best intelligence analyst, Kiriakous field officers took down the infamous terrorist Abu Zubaydah. For days, Kiriakou became the wounded terrorists personal bodyguard. In circumstances stranger than fiction, as al-Qaeda agents scoured the streets for their captured leader, the best trauma surgeon in America was flown to Pakistan to make sure that Zubaydah did not die.
