Following the September 11th, 2001 Al Qaeda attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the author, then the president of a private consulting firm specializing in intelligence collection and training, joined the Central Intelligence Agency's Clandestine Service Training Program along with about a hundred others. In this book, he describes those experiences for a popular audience, focusing on the personalities he encountered, rather than tradecraft. As he describes it, each chapter "is a month's mix of training, class bonding, personal reflection, and world events viewed through one officer's perspective."
