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.

This is an interesting story which ends up shining a bright light on the shocking treatment of women in the FBI. (it's only a small portion of the book)
I would very much like to learn how she kept her cover with friends and family while working in the CIA, but- I still found this book to be way better than most books on the subject.
It just sucks that the FBI is hurting itself (and therefore citizens of the US) by being so... narrow-minded.

Amaryllis Fox's riveting memoir tells the story of her 10 years in the most elite clandestine ops unit of the CIA, hunting the world's most dangerous terrorists in 16 countries while marrying and giving birth to a daughter. Life Undercover is exhilarating, intimate, fiercely intelligent - an impossible-to-pause record of an extraordinary life, and of Amaryllis Fox's astonishing courage and passion.

Not What I Expected - but Great
Revisado: 01-20-21
Very interesting, informative and entertaing. Sometimes I'll struggle with a book that isn't 100% fascinating, but this was very easy to stick with.
I was looking for something more procedural about the CIA: The experience of recruitment, oddball details about what training and work is like... the handling friends and family... and this book DID cover these areas and more. It wasn't exactly what I had imagined- it was BETTER!

I WANT MY MONEY BACK! This is a RIP-OFF.
Revisado: 10-07-20
THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR!
It's like having your ultra-religious annoying aunt lecture you about how you should go to church to meet nice girls.... for WAY too long. You will tune out before the preface is over.
Contains such valuable advice as:
PRETEND LIKE YOU CARE ABOUT PEOPLE TO MAKE FRIENDS!
THE MORE FRIENDS YOU MAKE, THE MORE FRIENDS YOU WILL HAVE!
TRY MAKING FRIENDS WITH PEOPLE!
Ugh.

Sonic Warrior is a collection of insane-but-true stories from the career of rock radio legend Lou Brutus. Each chapter is a separate tale that careens around his 40-plus years of covering concerts, interviewing music's biggest stars, and influencing generations of radio listeners. Starting with the first show he attended and continuing to the present day, stops along the way include Live Aid in Philadelphia, the Arctic, Live Earth in London, and the New Jersey Turnpike.

GIANT ROCK STARS/GIANT STORIES
Revisado: 09-21-20
Every giant rockstar is represented in a ridiculously personal and amazingly ridiculous but true story. EVERY rockstar.
Lou Brutus is the Forrest Gump of Rock n Roll. He has taken part in every great event in rock-n-roll history.
These stories give you insight into these artists you can NOT get anywhere else.
Ever want to know what a particular rockstar is REALLY like? Here you go....
