An Evening With Former Chief of Disguise for the CIA Jonna Mendez

The bestselling coauthor of The Moscow Rules and Argo tells her riveting, courageous story of being a female spy at the height of the Cold War in her new book In True Face: A Woman’s Life at the CIA, Unmasked. Mendez’s presentation will recount not only the drama of her high-stakes work—how her savvy operating parlayed her “everywoman” appeal into incredible subterfuge—but she’ll also discuss the grit and good fortune it took for her to navigate a misogynistic world. The audience will learn the story of an incredible spy career and what it took to achieve it. The event at the Rockport Opera House will be free, but tickets must be reserved ahead of time. (Link for ticket reservations coming soon.)
