This undated photo provided by Juan Carlos Arévalo shows Katherine Verdery, an American anthropologist and professor. Verdery's memoir "My Life as a Spy: Investigations in a Secret Police File" recounts her experiences doing research in Romania during the Cold War. Years later, she discovered the Romanian government believed she was a spy. The government's file on her was nearly 3,000 pages long, and included images shot by secret cameras and information provided by ordinary people she'd thought of as friends.
