The Company We Keep: A Husband-and-Wife True-Life… par Robert Baer
Just started but totally likeable couple. Goes from one vignette to another by one then the other. Real; crazy; spying.
I enjoy books about real-life spy craft, Bob Baer's memoir "See No Evil," being one of my favorites. And three-quarters of this book offer similar offers similar stories. Real spy-life is not James Bond. It can be just as dangerous, but more because the spy is working in a menacing theater of operations rather than up against specially identifiable villains and their henchmen.

I'm a sucker for a good true spy novel. I love the female perspective of the spy world. This book tells two stories in 1 book. You have his side and his undercover world. Her side and her undercover world. Then the two collide!
It had to be hard to live a life, not be able to talk to your spouse about everything but what your doing. I see why affairs and marriages are ruined by this life.
I really enjoyed this book. It was very insightful into what hell our CIA is put through.
