In his book, former FBI director James Comey shares his
never-before-told experiences from some of the
highest-stakes situations of his career in the past two
decades of American government, exploring what good, ethical
leadership looks like, and how it drives sound decisions.
His journey provides an unprecedented entry into the
corridors of power, and a remarkable lesson in what makes an
effective leader.
Mr. Comey served as director of the
FBI from 2013 to 2017, appointed to the post by President
Barack Obama. He previously served as U.S. attorney for the
Southern District of New York, and the U.S. deputy attorney
general in the administration of President George W. Bush.
From prosecuting the Mafia and Martha Stewart to helping
change the Bush administration's policies on torture and
electronic surveillance, overseeing the Hillary Clinton
e-mail investigation as well as ties between the Trump
campaign and Russia, Comey has been involved in some of the
most consequential cases and policies of recent history.
