Mark Kelton spent more than two decades in the CIA, serving in a variety of roles, including as a field officer in Afghanistan and Iraq. He was also a member of the CIA's Counterterrorism Center and the National Counterterrorism Center. In his new book, "My Life in the CIA: Hunting Terrorists and Challenging the White House," Kelton tells the inside story of the CIA's counterterrorism operations, from the hunt for Osama bin Laden to the interrogation of Abu Zubaydah.

Kelton's book is a gripping memoir that provides a unique perspective on the CIA and its role in the fight against terrorism. He writes with candor and honesty about the challenges and dangers of working in the CIA, and he does not shy away from criticizing the agency's mistakes. Kelton's book is a must-read for anyone interested in the CIA, terrorism, or the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
