My rating on this book is more for the person Jeffery Sterling writes about than the significance of his being a 'whistle blower'. This is the story of a man who grew up with not many advantages but thought enough of himself to better his life and of his country to try to serve. Life does not always work out as we have planned and this is a very good example of that situation. I hope for Jeffery and Holly's sake life will be better from now on. I recommend the book if you are interested in what life in the CIA is for a man who is not white and some of the things going on that comes to light more as time goes by. The story follows a black man's life really and just a part of it was with the CIA..

I am fence sitting with this story.  The man is a whistler blower turning on his government and those who trusted him.  At the same time how can someone not see that his conviction and desire to do what is right by what he knew.
The readers are really only given the view of Jeffrey Sterling which is scary, startling but at the same time he knew what he was doing and what would happen to him.  Reader might want to have a balance of the two sides to get a better understand of who, what, where, when and why Jeffrey Sterling felt he had no other choice.
Thank you to Netgalley for a advance copy of Jeffrey Sterling Unwanted Spy

What a truly amazing story?
Powerful beyond words! Captivating! Mind Blowing!
What amazes me isn't just his story but the response of becoming a whistle blower from his friends and colleagues in the CIA.
Look the fact is Jeffrey Sterling worked his butt off to get to where he was as nothing was handed to him.
Once there he was determined to do right not only in himself but for his country.
That deserves applause not condemnation and a prison cell.
He did what was right and for that he was punished by our glorious nation.
This is a real eye opener as we've seen this happen with other whistle blowers whose lives are completely destroyed.
I later learned that a Go Fund Me account was set up to help with his expenses.
I can't imagine his pain in knowing he was there for this country but his country turned its back on him!
