Summary:
A sinister cabal of corrupt law enforcement personnel, intelligence agents, and military officials at the highest levels of government plotted to overthrow a president. Even after they failed, they continue to secretly pull the levers of power without any accountability to the American people. This isn't the synopsis of a fictional spy thriller. This is what is actually happening in the United States government. In Government Gangsters, Kash Patel--a former top official in the White House, the Department of Defense, the Intelligence Community, and the Department of Justice--pulls back the curtain on the Deep State, revealing the major players and tactics within the permanent government bureaucracy, which has spent decades stripping power away from the American people and their elected leaders. Based on his firsthand knowledge, Patel reveals how we can defeat the Deep State, reassert self-government, and restore our democracy.
