"Kiriakou confidently portrays himself as a larger-than-life survivor type, justifiably proud of his stance against CIA-sanctioned torture...An irreverent and unsettling footnote to the war on terror."
—Kirkus Reviews
"A great memoir offers the-rest-of-the-story appeal, and when the CIA, 9/11, waterboarding, whistleblowing, scapegoating, coverups, and federal prison all factor in, the page turning reaches hyperdrive."
—Foreword Reviews
"Ex–CIA agent and anti-torture whistleblower Kiriakou wrote this book while serving 30 months for disclosing classified information. Part jailhouse memoir, part tradecraft manual, it shares Agency skills that kept him at the top of the prison pecking order—relevant advice for our new age of executive leaks and consequences."
—The Washingtonian
"An especially appreciated and uncommon contribution to our national discussion about the value of revealing governmental misconduct despite federal laws prohibiting such exposures, Doing Time Like A Spy deserves as wide an audience and readership as possible."
—Midwest Book Review
On February 28, 2013, after pleading guilty to violating the Intelligence Identities Protection Act, John Kiriakou began serving a thirty month prison sentence. His crime: blowing the whistle on the CIA's use of torture on al Qaeda prisoners.
Doing Time Like a Spy is Kiriakou's memoir of his twenty-three months in prison. Using twenty life skills he learned in CIA operational training, he was able to keep himself safe and at the top of the prison social heap. Including his award-winning blog series "Letters from Loretto," Doing Time Like a Spy is at once a searing journal of daily prison life and an alternately funny and heartbreaking commentary on the federal prison system.
