Comey is referring here loyalty to the ideals of justice and impartiality. One last thing about the title A Higher Loyalty - it alludes to be loyal to something higher than the job, the position and fame. I'm here not defending or attacking the practice but rather simply saying - they know their stuff. Knowing how the FBI have scientist focused on understanding the psychology and behavior of humans in order to qualify and profile them It gives more weight to the words coming from the person who was running the FBI. Comey is a career prosecutor for US Justice Department and then became FBI Director. You may wonder why such a book can give a different perspective than books specifically addressing leadership qualities?.The Answer - IMHO- it's because of the background of the writer. The biography is atypical as it's written completely in the context of how leaders impacted James Comey in both good and bad ways and how they shaped his mind on what constitutes a good leader. The book is mainly a Biography of Comey up until his last career episode of being fired -without notice - from his job as the director of the FBI. I managed to buy a copy in August ($25) and read it during my leave. So don't expect sophisticated verbiage, convoluted narrative, or action filled stories. A clear first attempt of Comey's at being an author. A relatively small book (275 pages) the English is lightweight, more of a Nixon style than Kissinger's. I can safely assume that you have heard about this book which was released in April 2018.
