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

3.0

 Perhaps there are some national security reasons for why the chapters from Clinton on seem somewhat...redacted. It's an easy, quick read, although the citations should be more thorough.

My takeaway? I can't believe the Situation Room was behind in technology used by the rest of the nation. The overly formal rules / procedures hamper the gathering and dissemination of relevant information. The fact that those in the Situation Room were relying on news reports for info is shameful and ridiculous (and underscores the necessity for neutral press). It's surprising how well the government has been able to function in moments of crisis.
