James Comey
"Comey's conversational tone instantly connects with the listener, and hearing him deliver the book's highly charged contents in his own voice brings authenticity and immediacy to the presentation...This greatly anticipated, revelatory memoir needs to be heard." — AudioFile Magazine
The #1 New York Times Bestseller, now with a new preface!
In his audiobook, A Higher Loyalty, 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.
More praise for A Higher Loyalty:
"It was essential that Comey himself narrate this book, not only because his absence would have distracted listeners familiar with his voice but also because only the author could credibly convey the range of raw emotions emanating from the experiences he shares from this most eventful of lives." - Booklist, Starred Review
What the critics say
"[James] Comey's reading is polished and confident." -New York Times Book Review
"Only former FBI director James Comey himself could convincingly narrate this audiobook. Fortunately, Comey's conversational tone instantly connects with the listener, and hearing him deliver the book's highly charged contents in his own voice brings authenticity and immediacy to the presentation. Comey has a pleasant speaking voice, and he demonstrates a professional narrator's command of pacing and intensity." -AudioFile
Absolute must for aspiring leaders.

It’s also politically neutral, which I was surprised by. After listening, however, you learn why that is (of you didn’t already know)!
Anyway, Comey handled the telling of this with a lot of respect, and it could have been told a thousand different ways. It would have been easy to come down on Trump in the final chapters and throw insults, but he sure rose above all that. Very well done.
Really great book.

Some spots were a little preachy, but considering the author's position in society, this is not a criticism.
The author's voice work is good. Some chapters sounded mechanical in the beginning, however, as each chapter progressed, it is very detectable that the author was very engaged.
Recommended!
