It’s Monday, What are You Reading?
A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership
by James Comey
This post is the one-hundred and forty-first entry for this meme suggested by Sheila@ One Persons Journey Through A World of Books. [Entries 22-25 in the series were posted at the Dr. Bill Tells Ancestor Stories]
Wasn’t going to read this, but when my wife got it, I could not pass it up. So happy for that. Very important that anyone who cares about “this matter” actually read this book…it is not very long, clear through. Reading the book is much more instructive of Comey than any TV news snippets, left or right. You really need to read it yourself. It is a text on ethical leadership, by the way. Excellent literary piece, but very readable.
Book Description from Amazon:
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.
Happy Reading!
