This is a fascinating well-written memoir, with lots of technical detail which Clapper has a gift for making understandable. He is proud of his many achievements in the world of Intelligence gathering, yet remains a modest man in the telling, and discusses his failures objectively. I'm reading the kindle edition and am surprised at how much he has packed into the first 17% - each sentence moving the story forward. A great read, hard to put down.
If you read this book, you will understand why the Trump Administration is trying (since yesterday) to take away James Clapper (and others) security clearances: whatever their faults, these men and women are dedicated to telling the truth, and serving the US Constitution. Full disclosure: I worked in NGA when Clapper headed that organization, and for a few years got to see him at work (via video conference). I came away with the impression of a modest, dedicated public servant. It has been said that Clapper lied under oath to Congress about the PRISM program (the book explains Clapper's point of view - that he misunderstood the question, and it was a classified program in an unclassified setting, as well): less well known is that Clapper was fired for refusing to lie to Congress by Donald Rumsfeld, and also over NGA's Hurricane Katrina relief efforts (the part about Katrina I didn't know about, which is interesting to me because I was a part of that effort). The book spans the period from the 1940's (when Clapper's father, a US military officer, took his family to a posting in Africa) to 2018, giving a unique look at 70 years of world history from an intelligence perspective. Informative, and surprisingly readable. This is a great book.
Understanding the role Clapper held as Director of National Intelligence in our government for so many years, gave him the opportunity to observe the various threats to our Republic. His observations are candid, penetrating, thorough, and engaging. He sheds light on Edward Snowden, the Middle East, Russia's interference with our elections in 2016 (with proof), and our nation's internal struggles with equality in race, gender, and divisive politics. He writes with the objectivity of an intelligence officer trained to avoid policy opinion focusing instead on clear explanations of external and internal threats to the U.S.
According to Mr. Clapper, he wrote this book because of a concern for what he saw taking place in America today, especially the loss of focus on the Russian involvement in our politics. It is an important topic. The author’s fear is that “many Americans are questioning if facts are even knowable, as foreign adversaries and our national leaders continue to deny objective reality while advancing their own ‘alternative facts.’â€The story begins way back in 1944, when Clapper’s father was drafted into the Army and worked as a signals intelligence officer during the war. Clapper was three years old. So the author was essentially born into the intelligence business. The ensuing chapters recount the author’s life experience in the intelligence business. It covers his stint as a lieutenant general in the Air Force doing signals intelligence in Southeast Asia. He served as directorship of Defense Intelligence Agency from 1992 to 1995, retiring from active duty in 1995. He then spent some time in the private sector before heading the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency from 2001 to 2006. He also served as Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence. Eventually Obama nominated Clapper for Director of National Intelligence. All of this, and more, is covered in some detail in the book. Unless you are really interested in this stuff, it can become a bit tedious following all the details, but it does give you a feel for life in intelligence. In the process we learn a bit about the various agencies; CIA, NSA, NGA, DIA, NRO, and others.As Clapper recounts all the years of his service in the book, he notes that “the public history of US intelligence traditionally reads as a narrative of failures and shortcomings.†But when intelligence gets it right, it almost never gets discussed publicly so as not to inhibit the ability to repeat the success. A chapter is spent discussing Benghazi; I found it interesting to hear the intelligence account of the incident minus the political bias. Unfortunately the aftermath left no one in charge – a dangerous place to have an embassy. Another chapter is spent discussing the Snowden incident and WikiLeaks, which is described as a “non-state hostile intelligence service.†The author elaborates on the effects this had on the IC. The author also covers terrorist violence in the world citing a global trend of things getting worse because of something he called “unpredictable instability.†We learn about efforts with North Korea, activities in Syria, and the Iran nuclear problem as well. Of course, then there is the 2016 election and the Russian interference in US affairs. The US is not entirely innocent here, as the US had intervened in eighty-one elections between 1946 and 2000 making us one of the most prolific interferers in the world.The author leaves us with some important cautions concerning facts and truth. Remember the objective of a disinformation campaign is to make it appear that facts and truth are unknowable. People don’t have to believe the rhetoric in order to sow doubt. So for fifty-three years Clapper tried hard to speak truth, sometimes uncomfortable truth, to people in charge of making national security decisions. He twice quoted George Patton saying that “when you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead.†Applying this to the profession of intelligence, he notes, “we provide facts to decision makers […] to reduce uncertainty, risk, and yes, fear. That’s why intelligence is vital.†To this day Clapper continues to speak “truth to power.â€
Gen. Clapper's Book... Boldly Faces, "The Facts And Fears" Clapper ILLustrates an excellent example of intellectual maturity, emotional security, and Geo-political credulity with an enormous amount of versatility.. It is a well laid out, and thoughtfully considered plan of attack to capture the reader interest at first sight... And don't let it go.. Unlike Clapper's other colleagues' and Statesmens' Literary endeavours in contrast to his political realms.. This modest man Is A gifted writer, speaker and a true American Made Patriot . We all have "Lessons Learned". Thank You Jim, For your time and consideration. And, We are grateful for your dedicated service.
James Clapper is a patriot and a true hero. This book has tons of insight we have not heard or read anywhere before. Read it straight thru could not put it down!
I've read several just released books in trying to better understand what's going on in America today. Mr. Clapper speaks truth to power and although I'm almost done with it has given me more insight on where the conflicts are between our civil liberties lie and intrusions lie. Highly recommend.
