Leader Joseph Chuman interviews Nada Prouty.

“UNCOMPROMISED: The Rise, Fall and Redemption of an Arab American Patriot in the CIA”

Nada Prouty was an undercover spy for the FBI and CIA for over a decade, working on a host of high-profile terrorism cases, including the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole. She was also part of the team that developed the intelligence on the whereabouts of Saddam Hussein. Today, Prouty cares for her two young children, speaks about her experience nationwide, and awaits the reinstatement of her citizenship.

In Uncompromised, Prouty tells her whole story in a bid to restore her name and reputation in the country that she loves. Prouty, dubbed “Jihad Jane” by the New York Post, was quickly cast as a terrorist mastermind by the relentless 24-hour news cycle in the wake of 9/11, at the height of anti-Arab fervor. Though the CIA and federal judge eventually exonerated Prouty of all charges, she was dismissed from the agency and stripped of her citizenship. Beyond a thrilling story of espionage and betrayal, this is a sobering commentary on cultural alienation, the power of fear, and what it means to truly love America.
