Why people recommend it
A Higher Loyalty by James Comey is a high-profile political memoir by the former FBI director that chronicles his career in public service, his handling of sensitive investigations, and his interactions with political leaders including Donald Trump. Walter Kirn brought up the book on The Megyn Kelly Show to critique how media narratives built up prosecutors. On The Book Review, Pamela Paul, Alexandra Alter, Lauren Christensen, and Joe Klein extensively discussed the memoir. Alexandra Alter frequently reported on its remarkable sales figures during its debut week, noting hundreds of thousands of copies sold across hardcover, ebook, and audio formats, placing it prominently near the top of the bestseller lists alongside other major non-fiction works. Joe Klein analyzed the book on the same podcast, describing it as a hybrid memoir that bridges Comey's earlier days as a Department of Justice prosecutor with his tumultuous and brief tenure under the Trump administration, offering a unique window into government ethics and truth.
