I also read the comments of reviewers on the back cover and knew this was a book I had to read - no matter what. I have not been disappointed. This book is Jeffrey Sterling's story of his dream to serve in the CIA, to give back to his country. It is his story about racism and bias within both the white and black community - even within his own family. As an historian, I am not naive to the machinations of power, but reading about Mr. Sterling's treatment in his own words was deeply troubling to me. I could see parallel between his years in the CIA and his treatment and happenings in the world now. Mr. Sterling is truly a patriot and an ethical man. I salute his strength and courage to put pen to paper! ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
The powerful story of a CIA whistleblower and political prisoner who refused to give up on his American dream In 2015, Jeffrey Sterling was sentenced to prison, convicted of violating the Espionage Act. Sterling, it is now clear, was another victim of our government's draconian crackdown on alleged leakers and whistleblowers. Sterling grew up in a small, segregated town in Missouri and jumped at the chance to broaden his world and serve his country, first in law school and later in the CIA. After an impressive career, Sterling's progress came to a sudden halt: he was denied opportunities because of his race and was pushed out of the Agency. Later, Sterling courageously blew the whistle on the CIA's botched covert operation in Iran to Senate investigators. After a few quiet years in Missouri with his wife, he was arrested suddenly and charged with espionage. Unwanted Spy is an inspiring account of one man's uncompromising commitment to the truth and a reminder of the principles of justice and integrity that should define America.
