  • Summary

  • *Through his discussion of his early life and studies, his long career in law enforcement and role in the spotlight of various Clinton and Trump controversies, ex-FBI head James Comey examines what it takes to be an effective, ethical leader.

    *Comey led the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails that some believe tipped the 2016 election result in Donald Trump’s favor.

    *Getting to the truth was crucial, but so too was running the investigation independently from the inevitable political pressures.

    *After Trump was elected, Comey battled to maintain the independence of the FBI. He describes his encounters with the president and the difficult legal and moral situations he was placed in.

    *A Higher Loyalty provides a gripping insider’s look into the highest echelons of American government and the personal dilemmas Comey faced in upholding the FBI’s – and his own – integrity.
