Publisher's summary

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spearheaded the Trump Administration’s most significant foreign policy breakthroughs. Now, he reveals how he did it, and how it could happen again.

As the only four-year national security member of President Trump’s Cabinet, he worked to impose crushing pressure on the Islamic Republic of Iran, avert a nuclear crisis with North Korea, deliver unmatched support for Israel, and bring peace to the Middle East. Drawing on his commitment to America’s founding principles and his Christian faith, his efforts to promote religious freedom around the world were unequaled in American diplomatic history. Most importantly, he led a much-needed generational transformation of America's relationship with China.

Blending remarkable and often humorous stories of his interactions with world leaders and unmatched analysis of geopolitics, Never Give an Inch tells of how Pompeo helped the Trump Administration craft the America First approach that upended Washington's wisdom—and made him America’s enemies’ worst nightmare. It is a raw account of what it took to deliver winning outcomes, including answers to questions like:

--Why Trump thought his Secretary of State was too tough on China

--What he said to Kim Jong-un that set him apart from other American negotiators

--How Mike Pence could have lost his spot on the 2020 ticket

--Who still has him high on their list of enemies

A road map of the trends and players shaping the world today, Never Give an Inch is more than a historical review of the Trump Administration's greatest victories. It is essential listening for anyone who wants to understand the challenges of the future. And it is an inspirational story of leadership through dangerous times that will leave you with a greater appreciation for America.

Outstanding patriot

Mike Pompeo is a patriot of many talents and gifts. His insights reveal the priority of the threats facing all people who love freedom. It is refreshing to hear what it was really like to work within the Trump administration and not against it as so many others did. Mike gives an honest assessment of what to real and worthy goals were for President Trump to make America and the world a better place.

Great man and demonstrably great leadership

I bought this book to see what went on behind the scenes of the Trump administration. Mr Pompeo gave us that, but more importantly he show us his love of God, family and country in that order. I respected him and his work before and now I admire him as well.

A recounting of a political perspective

Mr Pompeo's book is his account of the events from his perspective and I found it revealing, both positive and negative. His "bona fides" are impressive from USMA cadet, officer, politician, Congressman, CIA director, and SecState, I enjoyed the book and respect his contributions and willingness to serve.

Great Leader and Great Story

Mike Pompeo shares a great story about the many threats to our great Country. He is truly a leader and a Team USA First player and his Christian beliefs are much appreciated in a growing evil world.

Men in striped pants

Mike does a great job of highlighting America First. The most deserving of credit in the Trump administration, Mike highlights how he and most of those in the CIA and State Dept led from the front. The careerist men in striped pants did what they could to slow down the train but achievements in stamping out terror, calling the ccp what is, and putting a break on the evil in the world are achievements in and of themselves. I’m still waiting for Mike, Jared and the Donald to get their Nobel for the Abraham accords. Mike is the most consequential Secty since James Baker.
