Reviews"Josh Campbell spent more than a decade serving America as an FBI agent. He is serving America still by writing this book. He provides an invaluable, behind-the-scenes perch on James Comey's last days and Robert Mueller's subsequent special investigation. Anyone who reads his gripping account will know that the FBI is not a Deep State out to unseat the president. It is a superb and apolitical law enforcement organization that has been blindsided by all of the invective from political partisans. Read this book to find out what the FBI is really like." -- Max Boot, Council on Foreign Relations senior fellow and author of The Corrosion of Conservatism: Why I Left the Right, "An indispensable and riveting insider's account of one of the most dramatic and controversial periods in the history of the FBI. Crossfire Hurricane is a must-read for all Americans." --Daniel Silva , New York Times bestselling author "Josh Campbell's love of country and sense of duty shine through as he takes the reader on an honest, intimate journey behind the headlines during the president's tug of war with the FBI. It's a riveting ride and Crossfire Hurricane gives you a front-row seat." --Tara Setmayer, CNN/ABC News political commentator "An informative, suspenseful, and at times entertaining look inside one of the country's most important and increasingly controversial institutions. In Crossfire Hurricane , Josh Campbell presents a compelling view of the FBI from both his personal experience and his subsequent investigation into President Trump's war on the FBI." --Bianna Golodryga, journalist and CNN contributor " Crossfire Hurricane is likely to become one of the most important books of the year. Josh Campbell speaks both from the heart and experience. A dynamite read." --Dan Rather, former anchor of CBS Evening News and bestselling author of What Unites Us "Josh Campbell had the ultimate insider's perch as President Trump initiated the greatest crisis in the modern history of the F.B.I. Crossfire Hurricane is his fascinating account of those tumultuous days and a vivid reminder of the importance of honor and candor in law enforcement and politics." -- Jeffrey Toobin, CNN Chief Legal Analyst and author of American Heiress: The Kidnapping, Crimes and Trial of Patty Hearst " Crossfire Hurricane is a chilling and engaging contribution to our understanding of the FBI and the Russia investigation. Josh Campbell had a front seat to the decisions and dilemmas facing the FBI before and after 2016 and tells the story with honesty, compassion and even humor. He reminds us that it is too easy to judge by simply saying the FBI should 'follow the book.' When it comes to Russia, President Trump, and a campaign willing to play with a foreign enemy, there is no book. Until Josh Campbell wrote it." -- Juliette Kayyem, former Assistant Secretary, Department of Homeland Security "Josh Campbell spent more than a decade serving America as an FBI agent.

SynopsisCROSSFIRE HURRICANE DELIVERS THE DEFINITIVE ROAD MAP TO IMPEACHMENT, a history of how we got from 2016 to today. "A must-read indictment of the 'mob boss' in the White House." -- The Guardian "An indispensable and riveting insider's account of one of the most dramatic and controversial periods in the history of the FBI. Crossfire Hurricane is a must-read for all Americans." --Daniel Silva, New York Times bestselling author "Campbell speaks both from the heart and experience. A dynamite read." --Dan Rather, former anchor of CBS Evening News and bestselling author of What Unites Us It is January 6, 2017, two weeks before the inauguration. Only a handful of people know about the Steele dossier, and the nation is bitterly divided by the election results. As rumors begin to circulate that something might be brewing with the newly elected president and Russia, FBI special agent Josh Campbell joins the heads of the US intelligence community on a briefing visit to Trump Tower in New York City. He does not yet know that this meeting will eventually lead to the firing of his boss, James Comey, or that within weeks his former boss Robert Mueller will be appointed to investigate collusion and obstruction of justice at the highest level. He does not yet know that the FBI will come under years of sustained attacks from the commander in chief of the very nation its agents have sworn to protect. But, from his unique position within the FBI, he will watch it occur. In this gripping fly-on-the-wall narrative, Campbell takes readers behind the scenes of the earliest days of the Russia investigation--codename: Crossfire Hurricane--up to the present. Using both firsthand experience and reporting, he reveals fresh details about this tumultuous period; explains how the FBI goes about its work and its historic independence from partisan forces; and describes the increasing dismay inside the bureau as the president and his allies escalate their attacks on the agency. Appalled by Trump's assault on the bureau's credibility, Campbell left the FBI in 2018 to sound the alarm about unfair political attacks on the institutions that keep America safe. Smart, clear, passionate, Crossfire Hurricane will captivate readers struggling to make sense of a news cycle careening out of control., In his twelve years of experience at the FBI, serving under presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald J. Trump, former special agent Josh Campbell worked some of the highest profile investigations the bureau conducted. And as former director James Comey's special assistant, he had a front-row seat to the operation known as "Crossfire Hurricane," the bureau's investigation into Russian election interference and possible collusion by the president himself. Here, he takes readers deep inside key moments of this historic operation, from early hints of hacking to the firing of Comey to the arrival of special prosecutor Robert Mueller and beyond. Packed with vivid, authoritative detail, Campbell taps into the present-day frustration among rank-and-file law enforcement officers in the face of the Trump administration's unprecedented attempts to undermine the rule of law, offering an impassioned defense of America's essential institutions., CROSSFIRE HURRICANE DELIVERS THE DEFINITIVE HISTORY OF HOW WE GOT FROM 2016 TO TODAY, tracing the events that lead this country to a historic impeachment and beyond.
