Unique Insight Into the Present Moment of Malleable Truth
5 stars
Hayden has some impressive credentials, having been at the head of two of the world's premiere intelligence agencies. He also proves to be a big thinker, one that will engage with folks of divergent viewpoints and thoughtfully consider what they have to say.
While much of the text is focused on Trump's rocky relationship with the intelligence community, Hayden spends plenty of time exploring the realities of our society's present relationship with objective reality. He draws on history, thought leaders, and his own experience to frame the problems we're currently facing as a country.
While it does occasionally feel just plain bitchy in places, for the most part, it's an eloquent and enlightening read and easily recommended for anyone with an interest in government policy or the IC.
