"A Higher Loyalty is the first big memoir by a key player in the alarming melodrama that is the Trump administration....Comey's book fleshes out the testimony he gave before the Senate Intelligence Committee in June 2017 with considerable emotional detail, and it showcases its author's gift for narrative....Provides sharp sketches of key players in three presidential administrations....Comey is what Saul Bellow called a 'first-class noticer.'" --The New York Times
