Kimberly Halkett: MIC On, Guard Down: No Spin, Just Truth

When the camera rolls, most reporters stick to the script. Not Kimberly Halkett.

In Mic On, Guard Down, veteran journalist Kimberly Halkett pulls back the curtain on the high-stakes world of political reporting with raw honesty, sharp wit, and zero spin. From tense moments in the White House press briefing room to private conversations off the record, she shares what it really takes to hold power accountable and what it costs.

With decades on the front lines of U.S. politics, Halkett delivers a fearless, behind-the-scenes account of life as a journalist refusing to play by the old rules. She confronts bias, brushes off intimidation, and stays rooted in truth even when the pressure hits hardest.

This is not a memoir about climbing the ladder. It's about refusing to fall in line. For anyone who cares about journalism, truth, and the stories that shape our world, Mic On, Guard Down is essential reading.
