This is the exact type of nonfiction book that I completely devour and that's exactly what I did with this book. I started reading it after work and suddenly 3 hours had passed and I needed to turn a lamp on to finish.
This book is accessible, fast-paced, and entirely gripping. I love history and politics and this book is the perfect blend of those topics. Covering the biggest crises dealt with in the Situation Room at the White House by 12 different presidents, this book covers a broad scope of historical and geopolitical events. It was both engaging and terrifying to read about how many close calls to major life-altering world fallout we’ve had during these crises. I found myself pausing so I could google and research more about the various events, which is the highest compliment I can pay to nonfiction. If your book encourages me to learn more beyond the pages themselves, it’s a job well done!
I also gave this book to my mom after I read it and she loves it too and then gifted it to my brother so it has made a trip around my family at this point and it has been enjoyed by all who have read it.
Thanks to Grand Central Pub for the gifted arc copy!

This was very interesting or very boring. I feel like 75 pages of this were unnecessary. I did love how this chronologically formatted, though. If you enjoy reading about history or the White House you should give this a read!
