Former Special Agent and security expert Carol Marshall offers up a candid memoir full of humor, romance, danger, diplomats and Afghan warlords. Wheels Down: On Assignment in Pakistan is the story of an ordinary woman who dared to live an extraordinary life. After protecting three U.S. Secretaries of State, she was assigned to the American Embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan where she experienced events most only see in the movies, hear on the news or read in a novel.


I went from cornfields and country school to being a Special Agent protecting the U.S. Secretary of State and dining with Afghan warlords.
Osama Bin Laden was a name that rolled off my tongue long before he became known in the collective consciousness of the American people and the world.
