Robert & Dayna Baer, Authors of "The Company We Keep: A Husband-And-Wife True-Life Spy Story

The amazing real-life “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” former operative Robert Baer and his wife, Dayna, recount their days living as a CIA couple. The Baers discuss their unlikely romance and describe what happens when you try to leave “The Company” and learn that it’s hard to break free of the rogues, mobsters, and clandestine warriors who’ve become your best friends and worst enemies.

 

The Company We Keep is unlike any previous account of life in the CIA. It is a trip deep down the rabbit hole that shows how the intelligence game actually works, including the compromises it asks of those who try to play by its rules - and a portrait of two people trying to “come home” again.
