They met as trainees at Langley, and got married while hunting terrorists across the globe. Then, suddenly, they were assigned to a mission so sensitive and explosive that the CIA still has never acknowledged it. The CIA's source network in a country code-named \"Falcon\"--one of America's most formidable rivals--had been compromised by a mole, and the agency needed a new way to collect intelligence there. Young newlyweds, the Bustamantes were considered safe choices for this daunting task precisely because they had no experience in Falcon. They were also loyal, forgettable, and completely disposable--operatives who could help to strengthen the CIA's position in Falcon while simultaneously serving as bait for the mole. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But although their superiors at the CIA didn't realize it, the Bustamantes also brought another advantage to the table: a granular understanding of how terrorist cells operate, and how the agency could exploit those same tactics to keep America safe. Assembling a rag-tag team of fellow operatives and recruiting new sources from Falcon, the Bustamantes pioneered a new way of spying by building a cell of their own--right at the heart of the CIA. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The propulsive, untold tale of one of history's greatest intelligence crises and the unlikely band of agents who were sent in to clean up the mess, \u003ci\u003eShadow Cell\u003c\/i\u003e allows us to peer behind the curtain to see how today's spy wars are being fought--and won.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrew Bustamante \u003c\/b\u003eis a former clandestine CIA intelligence officer and co-founder of EverydaySpy, a one-of-a-kind training platform for adapting the skills of intelligence operatives for business and life.
