About this listen
A vivid sketch of White House work in an age of resistance.
Perfectly timed to the unfolding of the most consequential Presidential administration in decades, this narrative by a former West Wing aide provides a brisk portrayal of the professional demands and personal pressures of service in the White House.
The story is told in three quite different and intertwined styles:
- There is the absorbing transcript of an intimate conversation in which two historians quiz the author about his experiences in Washington.
- A string of lucid documentary chapters chronicle events at the highest levels of U.S. government, dissecting problems, and assessing how occupants of the White House succeed or fail.
- A scathing short essay illustrates the federal establishment’s deep-seated resistance to reform—the stubborn refusal to deviate from business-as-usual that roused voters to unleash Donald Trump against sclerosis in our capital.
National renewal is hard, but this book helps sketch a course to a more thriving America.
