Since entering the U. S. Department of Justice in 1987, James Comey has spent most of his career in this department. From serving as an assistant federal prosecutor for the Southern District of New York in the 1980s and 1990s, he battled wits with drug dealers and gang leaders; to presiding over anti-terrorism investigations after the "9·11" terrorist attacks, and to deal with the dilemma of the legality of government work; to taking charge of the FBI in 2013, investigating controversial social cases such as the Ferguson shooting, and experiencing the "undercurrent" of the transition period of presidential power. He understands more deeply than anyone else the core concepts that the U. S. Department of Justice should adhere to in its work: truth first, openness and transparency, and maintaining public trust. At the same time, as an insider, he knows better than anyone how far the current U. S. Department of Justice has deviated from this philosophy. Especially during the farce of the 2016 election, the Department of Justice encountered frequent partisan attacks due to its investigations into the "Email Gate" and "Russian Collusion". Trump's repeated interference and manipulation of the Department of Justice caused the Department of Justice to encounter the most serious crisis of trust since the "Watergate Incident." Comey was fired by Trump for no reason in 2017, which brought to the forefront the century-old secret war between the FBI and the White House. In this book, Comey restores real cases that he personally experienced, allowing us to see the truth and lies, constraints and negligence, confusion and perseverance that American law enforcement officers face in their daily work. He is not afraid to reveal those bloody lessons again, just to call on the U. S. Department of Justice to return to the path of justice and stick to the pure land of justice in his heart.
