I absorbed this book by listening to it via the Libby app. I found this book truly fascinating and extremely eye opening to the workings of the Situation Room of the US Government. I found it interesting to learn how differently each president had used the Situation Room, and how they chose to receive the intelligence. Also how often each of the presidents used and visited the Situation Rooms during their terms. It was amazing to learn about how many pivotal decisions were made in history.

This is undoubtedly my new favorite non-fiction book, and may even be my new favorite book period. I find that I tend to really enjoy reading books written by news reporters, and The Situation Room is an excellent example of that. This book was like a history lesson, a news report, and a political science lecture all in one and I loved it. The way George Stephanopoulos crafted each story he told made me feel as though I was reliving these historical moments. It was fascinating to learn more about what happens in the Situation Room and the White House in general, as well as the different ways in which each President has used this resource. The difference between Nixon and Trump's chapters and every other chapter was startling and concerning. Reading this book confirmed that it is still my dream to be an intelligence analyst and have a rotation in the White House.
