NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2019 BY Time • Esquire •
Vulture • Vogue • Real Simple. What if your sense of duty
required you to betray the man you love? It’s 1986, the heart of
the Cold War, and Marie Mitchell is an intelligence officer with
the FBI. She’s brilliant, but she’s also a young black woman
working in an old boys’ club. Her career has stalled out, she’s
overlooked for every high-profile squad, and her days are filled
with monotonous paperwork. So when she’s given the opportunity
to join a shadowy task force aimed at undermining Thomas Sankara,
the charismatic revolutionary president of Burkina Faso whose
Communist ideology has made him a target for American
intervention, she says yes. Inspired by true events—Thomas
Sankara is known as “Africa’s Che Guevara”—American Spy knits
together a gripping spy thriller, a heartbreaking family drama,
and a passionate romance. This is a face of the Cold War you’ve
never seen before, and it introduces a powerful new literary
voice.
