Product reviewsFair Game : My Life as a Spy, My Betrayal by the White House by Valerie Plame Wilson (2007, Hardcover)

Life happens ~ it's what you learn from it and do that makes it a success.

Having had a 25 yr. career in an almost all male industry ~ computer technology ~ I was most interested in hearing her work experience. But, because of the restrictions by the gov't, it's a frustrating story to read. So much is blacked out that it does lose the continuity of the story for me. And I'm continually trying to figure out what was said in the black spaces. I've not finished with it yet, but I do get the betrayl part. It was worth the book second hand, but had I paid full price, I'd have felt cheated ~ if I hadn't seen the blackout "issue" first. As a female, I do appreciate the lack of "whining and complaining" that some females feel they have the "right" to speak. Looking forward to hearing that she's put it into perspective and moved on with her life ~ creating a new "life" after the tragedy and injustice.Read full review...

A Book For The Times

Valerie Plame is a complex individual of national significance. Her experiences as a team member protecting the security of our country and her betrayal by the vengeful executive branch of our United States government make for a civics lesson that no citizen of the U.S. can afford to miss.

Clearly, the C.I.A. has overreacted with their extensive redaction. However, even the redactions are informative and alarming to those who patriotically support the Constitution of this once-great country.Read full review...

Excellent Book and more to come very soon, NOT!!!

Only wish FOI was sooner than later. Way to much 'missing information' for a book to be considered complete. I only hope that the 'Agency' and our government will allow more information to filter out soon, and not make everyone wait 100 years for the rest of the story. (Somewhat like the Warren report).Read full review...

Fair Game is great!

Very interesting to try to guess what it says under the censorship bars! I got a signed copy obviously fresh from one of her speaking appearances... including the program... so it is a great piece of historical memorabilia.Read full review...
