Publisher's summary
The Memo is the riveting story of how Rich Higgins' 20-year career inside the Deep State enabled him to discern - well before anyone else - the Deep State's efforts to stop and ultimately remove the president from office. No one was more bold - or more frighteningly accurate - in anticipating the ferocity of the Deep State's assault on the constitution and President Trump.

Story
Bob Woodward examines how the Bush administration avoided telling the truth about Iraq to the public, to the Congress, and often to themselves in State of Denial. Woodward's third book on President Bush is a sweeping narrative from the first days George W. Bush thought seriously about running for president, through the recruitment of his national security team, the war in Afghanistan, the invasion and occupation of Iraq, and the struggle for political survival in the second term.

Story
Even now, after more than 15 years, it is hard to see the invasion of Iraq through the cool, considered gaze of history. For too many people, the damage is still too palpable, and still unfolding. Most of the major players in that decision are still with us, and few of them are not haunted by it, in one way or another. Perhaps it's that combination, the passage of the years and the still unresolved trauma, that explains why so many protagonists opened up so fully for the first time to Robert Draper.

Unlike the wars in Vietnam and Iraq, the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 had near-unanimous public support. At first, the goals were straightforward and clear: Defeat al-Qaeda and prevent a repeat of 9/11. Yet soon after the United States and its allies removed the Taliban from power, the mission veered off-course and US officials lost sight of their original objectives.

The explosive tale of the unraveling of an American president. For six years, Ronald Reagan seemed invincible. But behind the glowing image of success was an administration courting disaster. In this spellbinding book, two top Washington reporters trace the origins of the Iran-Contra affair and the unraveling of the Reagan presidency, taking us deep inside a white house that cared more for stagecraft than statecraft and that mistook a landslide reelection for an unlimited mandate.

At the time John Nixon was a senior CIA leadership analyst who had spent years studying the Iraqi dictator.

Story
At the end of World War II, the United States was considered the victor over tyranny and a champion of freedom. But it was clear—to some—that the Soviet Union was already seeking to expand and foment revolution around the world, and the American government’s strategy in response relied on the secret efforts of a newly formed CIA. Chronicling their fascinating lives, Scott Anderson follows the exploits of four spies. Despite their ambitions, time and again their efforts went awry, thwarted by ham-fisted politicking and ideological rigidity at the highest levels of the government.

This is a story worth hearing all this time.
Mr. Higgins story was very interesting to listen to. His angle is very intuitive and knowledgeable intelligent and very important to the historical aspect of how the government worked during the Iraq war especially in dealing with the Islamic people. I always knew That there was an Islamic influence in the White House. It’s very obvious on how sympathetic they are two that would shame. Thank you Mr. Higgins for writing your story and I hope that you are doing well in your life and be careful. Good luck!

I used to roll my eyes at references to the “deep state”. Whether we call it the Administrative State or the Deep State, there is no doubt in my mind that it’s the driving force in our government today. This book is interesting and very insightful in many respects.

The Deep State exposed
Rich Higgins did a masterful job writing this book. his experience, training, and observations are key to what we learned within this great work of our era.
I am not new to the wiles of the deep state, but I learned a great deal more about how they operate and target their opposition, us. This is a must read book. in fact, I will buy the hard copy just to have his words and wisdom for reference in the near future.
Great Job!
