正如凯瑟琳-维尔德里所观察到的，"没有什么比阅读你的秘密警察档案更能让你怀疑你到底是谁"。

1973年，Verdery在罗马尼亚的特兰西瓦尼亚地区开始了她的博士实地研究，该地区当时由共产主义独裁者尼古拉-齐奥塞斯库统治。

在接下来的25年里，她多次返回，在此期间，秘密警察--安全局--编制了一份关于她的大量监视文件。

通过阅读2781页档案，她了解到自己 "实际上 "是一名间谍、一名中情局特工、一名匈牙利煽动者和一名持不同政见者的朋友：

总之，是罗马尼亚的敌人。

在《我的间谍生涯》中，她在分析自己的档案的同时，还分析了她的原始现场笔记和与安全局官员的对话。

维尔德里还与一些曾是亲密朋友的告密者交谈，了解导致他们举报她的复杂情况，并考虑实地工作和间谍活动如何容易被混淆。

我的间谍生涯》部分是回忆录，部分是侦探故事，部分是人类学分析，提供了一个关于冷战期间政府监控如何运作以及维尔德里如何在冷战中生活的个人叙述。

My Life as a Spy: Investigations in a Secret Police File

As Katherine Verdery observes, "There's nothing like reading your secret police file to make you wonder who you really are." In 1973 Verdery began her doctoral fieldwork in the Transylvanian region of Romania, ruled at the time by communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. She returned several times over the next twenty-five years, during which time the secret police—the Securitate—compiled a massive surveillance file on her. Reading through its 2,781 pages, she learned that she was "actually" a spy, a CIA agent, a Hungarian agitator, and a friend of dissidents: in short, an enemy of Romania. In My Life as a Spy she analyzes her file alongside her original field notes and conversations with Securitate officers. Verdery also talks with some of the informers who were close friends, learning the complex circumstances that led them to report on her, and considers how fieldwork and spying can be easily confused. Part memoir, part detective story, part anthropological analysis, My Life as a Spy offers a personal account of how government surveillance worked during the Cold War and how Verdery experienced living under it.
