Fascinating topic, mediocre writing. The first post 9/11 spy class and the new techniques and tradecraft that use is fascinating information. How the classes are taught, how the CIA dealt with the new class size, how things have changed now that it’s no longer a gentleman’s game. Waters had some interesting things to add. Retired former employees were brought on as contractors to deal with the extra students and some of them half-assed their job. One student made a very stupid comment during an exercise and picked a photo out of a lineup as to who did it. He picked wrong. Waters did something that I was impressed with. He created a really good balance between his personal life as a newlywed and his life as a student. It was enough that I got a good idea of who he was but not so much that it felt off topic. But his patriotism and mediocre writing made him sound like a boy scout in a clearly CIA approved book. I think the writing may have been a bit better if the CIA hadn’t ghost written it.
I like books that make me feel rich :)
Breaks my heart into a million tiny shards. A must for strange little girls and the weirdos they stalk.
