A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership

Description

Review 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.
