À propos de cet audio

The instant number one New York Times best seller!

This program is read by the author.

On March 16, 2018, just 26 hours before his scheduled retirement from the organization he had served with distinction for more than two decades, Andrew G. McCabe was fired from his position as deputy director of the FBI. President Donald Trump celebrated on Twitter: "Andrew McCabe FIRED, a great day for the hard working men and women of the FBI - A great day for Democracy."

In The Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump, Andrew G. McCabe offers a dramatic and candid account of his career and an impassioned defense of the FBI's agents and of the institution's integrity and independence in protecting America and upholding our Constitution.

McCabe started as a street agent in the FBI's New York field office, serving under director Louis Freeh. He became an expert in two kinds of investigations that are critical to American national security: Russian organized crime - which is inextricably linked to the Russian state - and terrorism. Under Director Robert Mueller, McCabe led the investigations of major attacks on American soil, including the Boston Marathon bombing, a plot to bomb the New York subways, and several narrowly averted bombings of aircraft. And under James Comey, McCabe was deeply involved in the controversial investigations of the Benghazi attack, the Clinton Foundation's activities, and Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server when she was secretary of state.

The Threat recounts in compelling detail the time between Donald Trump's November 2016 election and McCabe's firing, set against a pause-resisting narrative spanning two decades when the FBI's mission shifted to a new goal: preventing terrorist attacks on Americans. But as McCabe shows, right now the greatest threat to the United States comes from within, as President Trump and his administration ignore the law, attack democratic institutions, degrade human rights, and undermine the US Constitution that protects every citizen.

Important, revealing, and powerfully argued, The Threat tells the true story of what the FBI is, how it works, and why it will endure as an institution of integrity that protects America.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"McCabe is a nuts-and-bolts narrator; he speaks in an earnest monotone, clear but unchanging. This works nicely in covering such things as the FBI's progression from the J. Edgar Hoover days of chasing bank robbers and suspected Communists to the more modern focus on organized crime and terrorism. Or, better still, when McCabe describes his role in tracking La Cosa Nostra, Russian mobsters and the Boston Marathon bombers. The stories he tells are strong enough to carry themselves." (The New York Times Book Review)

Les plus pertinents

A Great book, well narrated by the author. I think that hearing Mr McCabe, added additional depth and emotional nuance to the book. The book explains in detail the reasoning and research that made an investigation of the "president" and his band of yes-men not only necessary, but mandatory to protect the citizens and allies of the United States.
I am thankful that men and women with the courage, intelligence and dedication of Mr McCabe and Mr Comey are doing their job and are unwilling to be sidetracked or intimidated by greedy, self serving sociopathic politicians. (For whom Donald Trump is the poster child)
I recommend this book to anyone who believes in the importance of democracy & the rule of law. And I applaud the efforts of thousands of unseen patriots, who ( like Mr McCabe ) work tirelessly, ( often at great risk to themselves and their families ) to protect their country from those who willingly conspire with known enemies, ignore and undermine the intent and letter of the law and the Constitution for the opportunity to line their pockets and satisfy their boundless ego's.
This book gives you a glimpse of the job that the intelligence services do, of the rules of law that guide them and the dedication of the people who work for them. Interesting and informative.
