Author Amaryllis Fox Publisher Alfred Knopf 2019 First Edition Format hardcover with dustjacket Condition like new Summary In Life Undercover: Coming of Age in the CIA, Amaryllis Fox delivers a gripping memoir that reads like a high-stakes spy thriller. As a former CIA officer recruited at an astonishingly young age, Fox takes readers deep inside the clandestine world of intelligence, counterterrorism, and global espionage. She offers a rare, unfiltered glimpse into life undercover—where deception is a survival skill, danger lurks in every mission, and personal relationships must be sacrificed for the greater good. With poetic and precise storytelling, Fox recounts her transformation from an idealistic college student to an elite operative sent to infiltrate terrorist networks. She explores the emotional toll of leading a double life, the ethical dilemmas faced in the field, and the sobering realization that peace is often achieved through quiet understanding rather than brute force.
