The Situation Room: The Inside Story of Presidents in Crisis by George Stephanopoulos

4.0

Strongly recommend listening to this book rather than reading it as you hear the voices and recording of those who worked in the situation room firsthand.

A history of the Situation Room told by those who lived it. The decisions made inside the walls and how each president interacted with the idea as well as the professionals staffing the room.

Somehow only cam into existence under JFK!

Stephanopoulos does an excellent job removing his own personal bias, both during the Clinton Administration he served as well as other administrations. It does peak through at times, but in small and largely insignificant ways.

A must read for those interested in internal White House decision making.
