A chronicle of never-before-told experiences from some of the highest-stakes situations of Comey's career.
A Yonkers, New York native, Jim Comey attended the College of William and Mary and the University of Chicago Law School. After law school, Comey returned to New York and joined the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York as an Assistant U.S. Attorney. Comey returned to New York after 9/11 to become the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. At the end of 2003, he was tapped to be the Deputy Attorney General at the Department of Justice (DOJ). On September 4, 2013, James B. Comey was sworn in as the seventh Director of the FBI.
A well-written memoir, which combines a powerful argument for
principled leadership with some acid comment on Trump's mendacious
ego driven alternative * The Economist *
[Comey] deftly, sometimes comically, captures the president as the
inattentive, emotionally stunted, self-focused,
absent-from-any-civic-sense, absurd fellow almost anyone in contact
with him knows him to be... it is a story of probity, honour and
virtue... Comey is an Avenger. -- Michael Wolff * The Sunday Times
*
Comey has quite a story to tell - and that's even before we get
to the Clinton and Trump chapters that have made this book an
instant bestseller...The Trump win and what followed provides the
material for the book's most riveting chapters. Comey has a keen
eye and his observations of Trump and his enablers are sharp...In
today's world, truth has become a precious commodity and those
ready to risk their careers to defend it are few and far
between. -- Jonathan Freedland * The Guardian *
Trump offends all that Comey claims to hold dear about power in
America and the values and institutions which merit his loyalty.
Trump has shot back, but Comey has landed a stinger. * The Evening
Standard *
An urgent clarion call. -- Edward Luce * The Financial Times *
