In 'Life Undercover' Amaryllis Fox talks about being recruited to the CIA in college.
Amaryllis Fox caught the eye of the CIA while studying international security at Georgetown University.
Her memoir, “Undercover: Coming of Age in the CIA,” opens as Fox takes readers to the streets of Karachi, Pakistan, and details a life that’s hyper-paced, dangerous and at times requires assuming alias identities.Written with the feel of a spy novel, the former spy’s book offers a salient and dynamic window into who works to keep America safe.
She later passed through a grueling training program in Virginia nicknamed “The Farm” and married a fellow CIA agent. The couple relocated to Shanghai, China, and had a daughter there. Both she and herhusband, Fox writes, posed as art dealers and lived in an apartment with a Chinese government spy masquerading as a maid.
She writes about interactions with a Hungarian arms dealer that she says ultimately leads to a high-stakes meetup with a terrorist cell in Karachi that Days later, she learns that the feared attack never occurred. She believes she played a role: “I think of the dusty room and the wheezing baby. I think of her dad, making choices to protect her — from pollution and air strikes and drones. I think about how everybody believes that they are the good guy. And how the trick of the thing is seeing that, from one angle or another, we all actually are.”elsewhere and eventually found herself performing some duties with her young daughter in tow.
