The Targeter
My Life in the CIA, Hunting Terrorists and Challenging the White House
Nada Bakos
Follow the journey of Nada Bakos, a young woman from Montana who joined the CIA and worked her way up through the ranks to the frontline of the fight against Islamic extremists. The Targeter takes us from Langley to Iraq as Bakos reveals the inner workings of the Agency and the largely hidden world of intelligence gathering post 9/11. Filled with personal anecdotes and on-the-ground insights, this intimate chronicle is a tribute to the small yet dedicated sisterhood of women and men who worked tirelessly in the heart of the CIA to ensure our nation's safety at home and abroad.
