Best "behind-the-scenes" book I've read!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
If you're interested in learning what it's really like to work for the President of the United States, this is the book for you. Not only is the book well written, but it also offers the reader a sneak peak at the presidency, a view rarely seen by the public. Bottom line: I would highly recommend this wonderful book to anyone interested in politics or government.
A great peek inside "the bubble"

I have worked on political campaigns professionally for many years and always wondered what it would be like to work for the President. This book opened my eyes beyond the glamour of the West Wing and let me ride along motorcades, helicopters and of course Air Force One. If you are interested in what goes into moving the President and his staff this is the book for you. A great read for any political junkie.
Nothing scandalous about this one...It's Just Plain Good!

Ken Chitester gives a top notch behind the scenes account of what it's really like to work in the White House. Unfortunately this aspect of the job has been overlooked in recent headlines. As President Clinton's former news analyst, Chitester is clearly a keen observer. He combines these skills with a quirky sense of humor to produce a work that's both entertaining and factual. I really good balance. If I can stuff this book in a stocking, I know what I'm giving for Christmas.
Very Interesting
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Captures the unseen world of the political heart of the United States and gives a compelling, behind the scenes look at the intricacies of travelling with the President. The detailed accounting of the pace and hardships explains the disillusionment suffered by previously exuberant staffers. Reading this book made me understand that working in a privileged and powerful environment does not always translate into a job that is fulfilling.
The Truth About the Inside
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Living outside Washington DC it is probably easy to think every one that works at the White House has a life like Monica Lewinsky. NOT SO! For all you would-be pundits: This is the REAL TRUTH about life inside the White House and inside the beltway for most of us. Sure there is glamour to flying Air Force One. But there is also a whole lot of drudgery. This is the side of Washington you Didn't see in WAG THE DOG. Great read. Nice Perspective. The author seems like someone you would just want to go grab a beer with. By the end I felt like a knew him!
