Publisher's summary

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.

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 US citizen: When a president appears to favor personal and Russian interests over those of our nation, has he become a national security threat?

Should be mandatory reading

This was an absolute page turner. The detail and information about the start of the investigation into Russia and its attempt (with success) to interfere in the 2016 election. This book also walks us through the numerous Trump figures that welcomed this foreign assistance. Highly recommend this book.

Raw, open, authentic telling of Mr Strzoks experience.

This book opens the reader to the world of Counterespionage, National Security and the ugly side of politics. The author is historically factual to the best of his ability, authentic in the telling of his experiences, and humble in the recounting of his mistakes. For me it was a lot to digest, how good men that served their country well were taken down and publicly demonized at the whim of a radicalized right wing power structure. It’s apparent that the author did what he could to keep the country safe. The end left me sick to my stomach. Everyone needs to read this. Rightwing, leftwing and the indifferent. Knowledge is power. Get out and VOTE.

Great Inside View of FBI During Russia Investion

Enlightening, insightful and cautionary - highly recommended!

This book provides a differently profound and insightful look into recent and ongoing political events. Extremely well written and narrated. Highly recommended for everyone regardless of personal opinions or political leanings.

A Thriller!

This book is about much more than Donald Trump. It's a peek at what its like to be a counterintelligence officer for the FBI. I highly recommend it.

Upfront, direct

I am glad Mr Strzok wrote of his experiences. I really enjoyed knowing of his lift story and it added a layer of sadness that an American that served his country was drug through the mud by a President that betrayed his oath with Russia for his own power, ego and greed. I hope in time we will know of all the stories of Americans that Trump destroyed the careers. This is a part of our collective experience and American history.

Non-Fiction

Strzok does an excellent job at narration. The book of course if chock full of foreign govts, lying, cheating, deceit and ugliness. In our own govt. He tells his story of investigations, truth and fact. Disturbing but need to know. Would recommend.

Spy Thriller! But it's Real

A spellbinding listen to the state of the
U.S. and our global activities during the last four decades, from a player who was there.

Peter Strzok delivers a detailed view of some the most shattering events, and a hands-on explanation of what may turn out to be the most dangerous scenario in our nation's history.

Eye opening and relevant beyond 2020

We must all open our eyes to the threat posed by Russia and other enemies of our nation both foreign and domestic. Peter Strzok does an amazing job explaining with quite a bit of back story how the FBI operates and the usual integrity of the work done by the FBI to protect our nation and its interests and to protect the constitution. I am astounded by what he has revealed and I for one will never take anything from any source at face value again. Everything from every source must be fact checked. Donald J Trump has set several very dangerous precedents and has performed more like a dictator would be expected to perform. The damage that I fear he has done to this country, it’s institutions and our constitution if horrifying and It is plain as day to see how divided we are since his election. Thank you Mr. Strzok and thanks to your family for what I know has been a horrible experience. I and I know most of us are eternally grateful for your sacrifice in the name of our freedoms and our constitution. You are a true patriot and I am thankful to hear your story. It has made me feel more at ease regarding the Clinton emails scandal outcome as I too had become caught up in the firestorm of online allegations against her. As a conservative, I now recognize that there are dangerous factions on both extremes of the isle and will be more wary about just voting party ever again. I will be looking beyond the rhetoric and to the facts as confirmed by at least two independent fact checkers as well as to look at each party and what their current candidate has to offer and what potential threat they may bring as well. Thank you again Peter Strzok!
