That day marked his first and only security briefing with President-elect Donald Trump.

He also examines the insularity, arrogance, and myopia that have, at times, undermined its reputation in the eyes of the American people and of members of other branches of government. Through topics ranging from George W. Bush's intervention in Iraq to his thoughts on the CIA's controversial use of enhanced interrogation techniques to his eye-opening account of the planning of the raid that resulted in Bin Laden's death to his realization that Russia had interfered with the 2016 election, Brennan brings the reader behind the scenes of some of the most crucial moments in recent U.S. history. He also candidly discusses the times he has failed to live up to his own high standards and the very public fallouts that have resulted. With its behind-the-scenes look at how major U.S. national security policies and actions unfolded during his long and distinguished career--especially during his eight years in the Obama administration--John Brennan's memoir is a work of history with strong implications for the future of America and our country's relationships with other world powers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eUndaunted: My Fight Against America's Enemies, at Home and Abroad \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a rare and insightful look at the often-obscured world of national security, the intelligence profession, and Washington's chaotic political environment.
