520    The former Director of National Intelligence and senior 
       advisor to Barack Obama traces his five-decade career, 
       detailing his relationships with multiple presidents, his 
       efforts to make intelligence more transparent, and his 
       decision to step down in January 2017. 
520    "When he stepped down in January 2017 as the fourth United
       States director of national intelligence, James Clapper 
       had been President Obama's senior intelligence adviser for
       six and a half years, longer than his three predecessors 
       combined. He led the U.S. intelligence community through a
       period that included the raid on Osama bin Laden, the 
       Benghazi attack, the leaks of Edward Snowden, and Russia's
       influence operation during the 2016 U.S. election 
       campaign. In Facts and Fears, Clapper traces his career 
       through the growing threat of cyberattacks, his 
       relationships with presidents and Congress, and the truth 
       about Russia's role in the presidential election. He 
       describes, in the wake of Snowden and WikiLeaks, his 
       efforts to make intelligence more transparent and to push 
       back against the suspicion that Americans' private lives 
       are subject to surveillance. Finally, it was living 
       through Russian interference in the 2016 presidential 
       election and seeing how the foundations of American 
       democracy were--and continue to be--undermined by a 
       foreign power that led him to break with his instincts 
       honed through more than five decades in the intelligence 
       profession to share his inside experience.  Clapper 
       considers such controversial questions as, Is intelligence
       ethical? Is it moral to intercept communications or to 
       photograph closed societies from orbit? What are the 
       limits of what we should be allowed to do? What 
       protections should we give to the private citizens of the 
       world, not to mention our fellow Americans? Are there 
       times when intelligence officers can lose credibility as 
       unbiased reporters of hard truths by inserting themselves 
       into policy decisions?  Facts and Fears offers a 
       privileged look inside the U.S. intelligence community and,
       with the frankness and professionalism for which James 
       Clapper is known, addresses some of the most difficult 
       challenges in our nation's history."--|cPublisher's
