A highly entertaining account of a young woman who went straight from her college sorority to the CIA, where she hunted terrorists and WMDs"Reads like the show bible for Homeland only her story is real." —Alison Stewart, WNYC "A thrilling tale...Walder’s fast-paced and intense narrative opens a window into life in two of America’s major intelligence agencies" —Publishers Weekly (starred review)When Tracy Walder enrolled at the University of Southern California, she never thought that one day she would offer her pink beanbag chair in the Delta Gamma house to a CIA recruiter, or that she’d fly to the Middle East under an alias identity.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. Driven to stop terrorism, Walder debriefed terrorists—men who swore they’d never speak to a woman—until they gave her leads. She followed trails through North Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, shutting down multiple chemical attacks.Then Walder moved to the FBI, where she worked in counterintelligence. In a single year, she helped take down one of the most notorious foreign spies ever caught on American soil. Catching the bad guys wasn’t a problem in the FBI, but rampant sexism was. Walder left the FBI to teach young women, encouraging them to find a place in the FBI, CIA, State Department or the Senate—and thus change the world.

Disclosure: Like the author I am a former FBI agent who retired 8 years ago. I do not know the author personally but have communicated with her by social media and DM. I bought this book myself.Gladness - There are lots of memoirs by former CIA, FBI, SEALs, etc. and they all tell a different story. This author's story was unique to me because of how young she was to go from college student, to the front lines of the war on terror. I found during a long career of knowing people like her, they often had years of more training, and several headquarters or less dangerous assignments before deploying to war zones. This is a good reminder that we still send 18 year-olds into harm's way today. She did and saw a lot as a relatively young CIA officer right after 9/11, and the nation owes her, and everyone else who went into harm's way, a debt of gratitude.Sadness - The details about her short FBI career are disappointing to me, especially her time at Quantico. I thought the Bureau had made progress on this, but her details about misogyny and discrimination do not make it seem so. My new agent training class almost 17 years to the day earlier, had twice as many female and minority agents has hers. Walder describes a class made up almost entirely of lawyers, accounts and police officers. We had those too, but also a significant number different professions including a music teacher, nurse, business people, a chemist; the most popular new agent in our class, a friend of mine to this day, worked for a beer distributorship. The second most popular, also a female agent worked at a state crime lab and in insurance before that. That agent, Martha Dixon Martinez, was killed in the line of duty 7 years later in a tragic, yet heroic firefight with a drug dealer. After she had been killed, other agents who had also been her classmates ran into harms way to try and save her life. Almost everyone from our class made it to her hometown to grieve at her funeral. The agents who supervised Walder's class sounded petty and vindictive; mine could not have been more different.In summary, I am glad she wrote this account as one of only a handful of people to have served in both the CIA and FBI. I'm glad for her service to our country, and wish she was still on the front lines today.P.S. Reviewers complaining about the redacted material should spend time researching the intelligence agencies and DOD pre-publication review processes. Authors have their works suspended for 12-18 months while a review for classified information takes place and they are at the complete mercy of the process. A lot of what is redacted is well known, public source information and should not have been subjected to redaction. Some authors, to their credit, have been pushing back successfully and appealing in time for paperback and later publications. It's an arcane process that needs to be revamped, especially when a number of senior government officials go right from their office to the cable news channels, with million dollar contracts, never having their comments or experiences censored.
