Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The author focuses a lot on the spy's time in prison, being mistreated, which I guess is appropriate since she got awards for her bravery in not talking. But I think he also likes going into descriptions of what exactly torture is like, which I find weird. And, ok, he tells us that she convinced prison guards of things that weren't true but that kept her and her captain safe. But. I wanted to know what the group did BEFORE she went to prison, and also read about a competent woman just doing something well. The first of the book focuses on other people's incompetence and on various mishaps. You come away thinking that this woman has a lot of respect from people but did kind of bumble through her work. I doubt that that's the reality. Amazon, please recommend more books about women doing things well. I don't want to read about mistreatment and misadventures. Thanks.
