This is a fascinating story by a woman who was betrayed by the highest members of the government that employed her. In accordance with the terms of her initial employment she had to submit her manuscript to the CIA before it could be published. In this version, the information redacted by the CIA is indicated by an audible tone. This somewhat irritating, like trying to have a phone conversation that is continually breaking up. What becomes more irritating is when you realize that what is being deleted is something like the date of her initial service, and the positions that she had held. At the end is a long, helpful Afterward, based upon information that has become public, but was still considered "secret" by the CIA.
