Now, Rena and Brooks are caught in the middle. The White House wants to prevent fallout that would debilitate the president, the military is in shutdown mode, the press is hungry for another big story, and politicians in both parties seem interested only in themselves. Rena and Brooks, navigating a capital that seems intent on self-destruction, learn the hard way that the truth is more complicated than they have always believed. 

With intelligence, style, and a breakneck pace, The Good Lie explores the contours of high-level national security, political dysfunction, and the dangers of a never-ending war.
