The chiefs of staff, often referred to as "the gatekeepers", wield tremendous power in Washington and beyond; they decide who is allowed to see the president, negotiate with Congress to push POTUS's agenda, and - most crucially - enjoy unparalleled access to the leader of the free world. Through extensive, intimate interviews with 18 living chiefs (including Reince Priebus) and two former presidents, award-winning journalist and producer Chris Whipple pulls back the curtain on this unique fraternity. In doing so, he revises our understanding of presidential history.

Publisher's summary
"If the general public knew what was going on inside the White House, they would scream." So states one Secret Service agent, just a small link in the chain of security that has guarded the public image of the presidency and the men who define it - until now.
With unprecedented access to Secret Service agents, domestic servants, Air Force One stewards, and military aides, journalist Ronald Kessler has gone behind the scenes to uncover the inside story of the White House.
From the hidden lives of the last seven presidents and first families to the intricate inner workings of this all-powerful institution, Kessler peels away the White House facade to reveal the fascinating and often scandalous reality behind the stately illusion. Exposing presidential misconduct, blunders, and cover-ups, this fascinating examination ensures that Americans will never view their chief executives the same way again.

Prosecuting attorney in the Manson trial Vincent Bugliosi held a unique insider's position in one of the most baffling and horrifying cases of the 20th century: the cold-blooded Tate-LaBianca murders carried out by Charles Manson and four of his followers.

Now available for the first time in unabridged audio, the gripping story of this famous and haunting crime is brought to life by acclaimed narrator Scott Brick.

Story
The history of the Boston Tea Party is a hidden one. Why? Since it was a clandestine operation, all sorts of rumors and legends grew up around the event—many collected decades after the American Revolution had ended. At its core, however, the night of December 16, 1773, when colonials dumped tea from British ships into Boston Harbor, was more than a fight over tea and taxes. It was a struggle over the very nature of democracy and self-governance.

“America needs a president that acts presidential.”
In 2020 that statement sounds century’s old. I do love this book. It’s a revisit to the days of common sense, norms,. Plain normality.

should have been titled "inside a white house"
the author focused most of the book on Clinton. I wish he would have focused a little more on the other presidents as well.

Too much Clinton Bashing
I enjoyed the first half of the book that talked about multiple presidents in the White House. The second half of the book is all Clinton bashing which makes you question the writer’s agenda and detracts from the first half of the book.

Out-dated and biased
Partially my fault for not looking deeper into the published date - the audio version is from 2017 and I thought the book was as well. The first half has some interesting anecdotes. Then it becomes a weird rage analysis against Clinton.

Fantastic
This book is so entertaining and well researched! The Bush chapter is a little weak, but otherwise, this book is masterful. It is both informative and a blast to listen to!

Politically slanted, but interesting.
The author definitely has some conservative tendencies. He really had it out and had a lot of negative things to say especially about Carter and Clinton. I was thinking this book was a little bit more recent; I didn’t realize it ended mid-Clinton presidency. I would be very interested to hear the author’s thoughts on presidents since Clinton.
All that said, the behind the scenes stories are interesting for all the presents included in this book. (Although I am willing to bet that some are exaggerated.)

Interesting subject matter & stories.
I found this book really interesting and felt the author clearly pointed out, without disregard to individuals, party, etc., how President’s, their wife, staff, government leaders, etc., are just like the rest of us. Without rehashing examples, it’s basically “the same circus, different clowns.”

Clearly Partisan
Mostly an editorial on Bill Clinton. Don't listen unless you want to hear very little about any GOP president.

Not exactly all White House
Overall, the book was very good. It starts off really good and what I was expecting. 2/3 through it turns to sort of a hit piece instead of the White House. I wish it just stayed with the White House. Overall it has a lot of interesting information. I really could have done without the Arkansas portion on President Clinton. I am sure there are books on him.
