A.C. Frieden with former CIA officer and new author Nada Prouty at the Union League Club in Chicago

She just published her book “Uncompromised: The Rise, Fall, and Redemption of an Arab American Patriot in the CIA,” a story covering her service with the FBI and the CIA before being swept up by an investigation that questioned her loyalty and put her in the crosshairs of an ambitious, out of control prosecutor. If you have time to read it, pick up a copy.
