Synopsis

“This is the book I have been waiting for.”—Rachel Maddow

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER  |  The FBI veteran behind the Russia investigation draws on decades of experience hunting foreign agents in the United States to lay bare the threat posed by President Trump.

“Peter Strzok is the FBI agent who started it all.”—David Martin, CBS Sunday Morning

When he opened the FBI investigation into Russia’s election interference, Peter Strzok had already spent more than two decades defending the United States against foreign threats. His career in counterintelligence ended shortly thereafter, when the Trump administration used his private expression of political opinions to force him out of the Bureau in August 2018. But by that time, Strzok had seen more than enough to convince him that the commander in chief had fallen under the sway of America’s adversary in the Kremlin.

In Compromised, Strzok draws on lessons from a long career—from his role in the Russian illegals case that inspired The Americans to his service as lead FBI agent on the Mueller investigation—to construct a devastating account of foreign influence at the highest levels of our government. And he grapples with a question that should concern every U.S. citizen: When a president appears to favor personal and Russian interests over those of our nation, has he become a national security threat?

Narrated by the author.

Reviews

This well-written, detailed account into the life of this government agent, was extremely enlightening. I can empathize with Mr. Strzok's frustration as his life as an FBI agent began to unravel. He performed his duties as an agent with great professionalism, mindful of his duty to country. Unfortun......more

Excellent read. The author is very fair and even handed in telling his story. You are given information on how investigations are conducted and how hard agents work to be unbiased in their work and conclusions. Strzok sets up his book by giving you insight into how the Russians work and are desirous......more

Goodreads review by Dale

When Rachel Maddow interviewed Strzok last Friday evening she said of all the books (about the Trump administration) that have come out recently, this is THE one she has been waiting for and she expressed how important she believes it is. Her comment enticed me into reading it and having done so I t......more

Goodreads review by David

"If my upbringing impressed on me the strength of our democracy, it also showed me, time and again, how quickly a law-based moral order can collapse if good people do nothing."I recently saw ex-FBI agent Peter Strzok interviewed on a 'Burn the Boats' podcast episode on YouTube and, as a result,......more

I finished this book in just over 48 hours. Though I know he’s out there somewhere feeling fully vindicated, I so wish the news of this past weekend vis a vis Trump’s tax fraud and business compromises were known to Strozk before submitting this for publication. Watching him connect so many dots wou......more
