Reviews

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 * 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 -- Jonathan Freedland * 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 * Evening Standard *
An urgent clarion call. * The Financial Times *
