About the Author
John Kiriakou is a former CIA counterterrorism officer and whistleblower whose career spanned over 14 years in intelligence operations, including high-stakes missions in the Middle East and Pakistan. After exposing the CIA's waterboarding program in 2007, he became a prominent voice on national security, human rights, and government accountability, enduring imprisonment for his principled stand. Transitioning from covert service to public advocacy, Kiriakou now shares his expertise through writing, speaking engagements, and media commentary, demystifying the shadowy world of espionage for everyday readers. His insights draw from firsthand experience, offering a critical perspective on surveillance, ethics in intelligence, and the personal costs of dissent in the post-9/11 era.
