Jeffrey Sterling

I was drawn to this book by its cover and reading the inside blurb. 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!… (meer)
