Finished reading THE COMPANY WE KEEP by Robert Baer and Dayna Baer. The authors worked for the US Central Intelligence Agency [CIA]. This is their memoir, published in 2011. It takes the reader from the US to France, the former Yugoslavia, Tajikistan, Russia, Morocco, Lebanon and Iraq.
Robert and Dayna met while on assignment in Sarajevo. Both were married but estranged from their partners due to duty. Before the book ends, Robert and Dayna are husband and wife who left the CIA but whose professional past follows them everywhere.
I have read a fair number of fictional spy thrillers. This non-fiction book shows that spies' lives are just as intriguing, daring, death-defying, exciting and romantic as that of their fictional counterparts.
