Today we have the distinct honor of welcoming Jonna Mendez, a woman whose life reads like a gripping espionage novel. From an unexpected entry into the CIA as a "contract wife" in Germany to becoming the agency's Chief of Disguise, Jonna's journey is one of unparalleled courage, determination, and groundbreaking achievement. Her memoir, "In True Face: A Woman's Life in the CIA, Unmasked," offers readers an intimate look into the shadowy world of espionage during the Cold War era and beyond. Jonna's story not only illuminates the complexities of life within the CIA but also serves as a testament to the resilience and strength of women in intelligence. It's an absolute pleasure to have her join us today to share insights from her remarkable career and her captivating book.
