like it was fine ! i read it for a book club that i'm not going to be able to attend today. i thought it was interesting and engaging up to a point...eventually i got a little bored with the format, especially once we get to presidents where their memories are too fresh still and their awful foreign policy affects so much. i didn't know anything about this, so i learned a lot...idk it was fine !

This is an interesting book that I picked randomly on a whim.
It talks about key incidents that have come to define 12 Presidents during their tenure from JFK to Joe Biden.

A history of the most talked about room , in the USA , it gives you deep insights into the working of the WHSR and how decision making varied across the 12 administrations.

Some history, some lessons , some anecdotes and many unsung heroes and heroines . Makes a good read .

Listened to this after finishing the West Wing book What’s Next? Seemed like a good follow up.  Lots of interesting behind the scenes info.  I definitely recommend the audio as a lot of the book is interviews and recordings and the original are used where it makes sense to do so.
