Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 I was selected to be the CIA’s first chief of station in Sarajevo in mid-1995. The Bosnian Serbs were shelling the city around the clock from the surrounding hilltops, and random sniper fire made it impossible to walk down its cobblestone streets in safety.#2 I was required to stop off at CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, to plan the operation’s specifics and update my lapsed medical clearances. I knew the country and the language, and I had a family who loved me. I was confident that I would be able to infiltrate Sarajevo.#3 In Split, we met up with two US military special operators who drove over from Zagreb in a brand-new armored Jeep Cherokee. We thought we'd decrease our odds of being shot by inserting our vehicle into a UN convoy that was scheduled to bring relief supplies to the isolated city of Sarajevo.#4 The final leg of my journey to Sarajevo began when I left Split in the early morning hours of July 10 for the sleepy farming village of Tarčin, on the Bosnian-controlled side of Mount Igman.
