"In 1999, thirty-year-old Nada Bakos moved from her lifelong home in Montana to Washington, DC, to join the CIA. Quickly realizing her affinity for intelligence work, Bakos was determined to rise through the ranks of the Agency, first as an analyst and then as a targeting officer, eventually finding herself on the front line of America's war against Islamic extremists. In this role, Bakos was charged with determining if Iraq had a relationship with 9/11 and al Qaida, and finding the mastermind behind this terrorist activity: Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Her team's analysis stood the test of time, but it was not satisfactory for some members of the administration. Bakos reveals the inner workings of the Agency and the largely hidden world of intelligence -gathering post 9/11. Entrenched in the CIA, Bakos, along with her colleagues, focused on leading US Special Operations Forces to the doorstep of one of the world's most wanted terrorists. Filled with on-the-ground insights and poignant personal anecdotes, The Targeter shows us the great personal sacrifice that comes with intelligence work. "-- Provided by publisher.
