Book
Life undercover : coming of age in the CIA / Amaryllis Fox.
"Amaryllis Fox's riveting memoir tells the story of her ten years in the most elite clandestine ops unit of the CIA, hunting the world's most dangerous terrorists in sixteen countries while marrying and giving birth to a daughter"-- Provided by publisher.
Fox was in an undergraduate at Oxford studying theology and international law when her mentor Daniel Pearl was captured and beheaded. Galvanized by this brutality, she applied to a master's program in conflict and terrorism at Georgetown's School of Foreign Service, where she created an algorithm that predicted the likelihood of a terrorist cell arising in any village around the world. Recruited by the CIA, she was fast-tracked into advanced operations training learning how to use a Glock and withstand torture. Deployed as a spy, Fox was sent to infiltrate terrorist networks in remote areas of the Middle East and Asia. This is her record of a life of service, passion, and courage. -- adapted from jacket
