  In my talk I will report the generation and diagnostic of GW-scale soft X-ray attosecond pulses with a current-enhanced X-ray free-electron laser. Our method is based on the enhaced SASE scheme, where an electron bunch with high-current spike is generated by the interaction of the relativistic electrons with a high-power infrared pulse. The X-ray pulses generated by the compressed electron beam are diagnosed with angular photoelectron streaking, and have a mean pulse duration of 350 attoseconds. Our source has a peak brightness that is 6 orders of magnitude larger than any other source of isolated attosecond pulses in the soft X-ray spectral region. This unique combination of high intensity, high photon energy and pulse duration enables the investigation of valence electron dynamics with non-linear spectroscopy and single-shot imaging. I will also discuss the generation of two-color attosecond pulses and our future plans for attosecond science at LCLS-II.
