The Assault on Intelligence by Michael V. Hayden Book Summary

A blistering critique of the forces threatening the American intelligence community, beginning with the President of the United States himself, in a time when that community's work has never been harder or more important

In the face of a President who lobs accusations without facts, evidence, or logic, truth tellers are under attack. Meanwhile, the world order is teetering on the brink. North Korea is on the verge of having a nuclear weapon that could reach all of the United States, Russians have mastered a new form of information warfare that undercuts democracy, and the role of China in the global community remains unclear. There will always be value to experience and expertise, devotion to facts, humility in the face of complexity, and a respect for ideas, but in this moment they seem more important, and more endangered, than they've ever been. American Intelligence--the ultimate truth teller--has a responsibility in a post-truth world beyond merely warning of external dangers, and in The Assault on Intelligence, General Michael Hayden takes up that urgent work with profound passion, insight and authority.

It is a sobering vision. The American intelligence community is more at risk than is commonly understood, for every good reason. Civil war or societal collapse is not necessarily imminent or inevitable, but our democracy's core structures, processes, and attitudes are under great stress. Many of the premises on which we have based our understanding of governance are now challenged, eroded, or simply gone. And we have a President in office who responds to overwhelming evidence from the intelligence community that the Russians are, by all acceptable standards of cyber conflict, in a state of outright war against us, not by leading a strong response, but by shooting the messenger.

There are fundamental changes afoot in the world and in this country. The Assault on Intelligence shows us what they are, reveals how crippled we've become in our capacity to address them, and points toward a series of effective responses. Because when we lose our intelligence, literally and figuratively, democracy dies.

Review. General Hayden expresses his thoughts, his sincere concerns and learned observations in an objective, fact based manner in this book. His insight and experience enable him to be frank and realistic about his grave concerns in this period of anti-democratic tendencies from those in positions of power in the White House and the executive branch. He has a realistic and well expressed concern for what these actions and words mean for the future of the Republic based on what he has seen and experienced in other anti-democratic countries and with their leaders. His most expressive point (among many) is the fragility of democratic norms and institutions and how they can, and probably are, being irreparably damaged or thrown away by a demagogue- like leader whose main purpose is to deal in fear and to ignore fact-based truths. Herb Marsh

Poorly researched. Seems poorly researched and more of a book of excuses to enable the Feds to retain power.

The Con Game. Perhaps Donald Trump should write a book ( if he knew how to spell) Absolutely ridiculous - the HELL that Trump has created since the moron took office. The Good Old Boys of America are going to destroy the world.

The Assault on Intelligence. Excellent Book, puts things in perspective and helps one understand the importance of maintaining our Constitution, separation of Power, and institutions

The Assault on Intelligence. This book is both excellent and important. Clearly stated, thoroughly researched, fact based statement on the situation we find our country and government in today. A succinct, differentiation between the bluster, defensive over reaction of an executive found wanting of reason and fact based truth. General Hayden, once again comes to the aid of his country and demonstrates his intellect, ability, sense of duty and love of country in this book

Was hoping for reason. Why did he lie under oath regarding gathering and collecting metadata when asked by Congress!
