She is the bestselling coauthor of The Moscow Rulesand, and Argo. In her new memoir, In True Face, Jonna shares her riveting and courageous story as a female spy during the Cold War, revealing the high-stakes drama and perseverance needed to thrive in a male-dominated field.

Here is my favorite quote from this episode:
