Summary
James Comey's 2018 memoir recounts his career in law enforcement, from his early days as a prosecutor through his tenure as FBI Director under Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump. The book examines the ethical tensions between political pressure and institutional integrity, particularly surrounding the 2016 election investigation. Comey presents a framework for ethical leadership rooted in the concept of a higher loyalty to truth and the rule of law, not to any individual or party.
