Summary

The powerful story of a CIA whistleblower and political prisoner who refused to give up on his American dream

In 2015, Jeffrey Sterling was sentenced to prison, convicted of violating the Espionage Act. Sterling, it is now clear, was another victim of our government's draconian crackdown on alleged leakers and whistleblowers.

Sterling grew up in a small, segregated town in Missouri and jumped at the chance to broaden his world and serve his country, first in law school and later in the CIA. After an impressive career, Sterling's progress came to a sudden halt: He was denied opportunities because of his race and was pushed out of the Agency. Later, Sterling courageously blew the whistle on the CIA's botched covert operation in Iran to Senate investigators. After a few quiet years in Missouri with his wife, he was arrested suddenly and charged with espionage.

Unwanted Spy is an inspiring account of one man's uncompromising commitment to the truth and a reminder of the principles of justice and integrity that should define America.

Profile Image for Karl

Jeff Sterling an asset wasted

the CIA machine missed a huge trick with Jeff, a true patriot who did everyhing he could ti steer clear of systemix racial bias, all he wanted was to be given what all other people doing his job are given, a level playing field and the right tools, im confident that with his intelligence and humility he would have excelled in the role of PROTECTIING the people of the US...instead they seem more interested in persecuting the man out of some sort of school yard spite , what a waste of talent
