About this ebook
As children, two sisters became pawns in a top secret government program to train guerrilla leaders, assassins and information couriers: secret weapons for American intelligence services. Years passed; the sisters grew up, married and had children. But inside lay dormant, hidden skills - weapons training, reconnaissance work, pilot training and more - that kept them ready for the call from the government. Through analysis of CIA files and interviews with experts and participants, the chilling true story of Cheryl and Lynn Hersha is finally being told.
