Description
Fox was an undergraduate at Oxford studying theology and international law when her mentor Daniel Pearl was captured and beheaded. Galvanized by this brutality, she applied to a master's program in conflict and terrorism at Georgetown's School of Foreign Service, where she created an algorithm that predicted the likelihood of a terrorist cell arising in any village around the world. Recruited by the CIA, she was fast-tracked into advanced operations training learning how to use a Glock and withstand torture. Deployed as a spy, Fox was sent to infiltrate terrorist networks in remote areas of the Middle East and Asia. This is her record of a life of service, passion, and courage. -- adapted from jacket
