The Reluctant Spy by John Kiriakou
My Secret Life in the CIA's War on Terror
A former CIA officer recounts his recruitment and career in intelligence, describing overseas operations and counterterrorism work, the internal debates over post-9/11 interrogation policies, his decision to go public about the use of torture such as waterboarding, and the legal and personal consequences—including prosecution and imprisonment—that followed; the memoir reflects on whistleblowing, the moral compromises of the war on terror, and the damage secrecy can inflict on democratic institutions.
