Is it more like The West Wing
or House of Cards
? Do you have to put your try table up on Air Force One? Is the President any good at basketball? What do you call him when you talk to him? How do you pick the people the president meets with? Is he really that cool, or is it an act?
West Winging It pulls the drapes back on life in the White House, offering an insider’s glimpse of what it’s really like – from the minutiae to the momentous – to work at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. This brilliant book provides a front-row seat to history as, for the first time, Millennials ran the country – a classic fish-out-of-the-water story, only these fish are trying to run the United States of America.
With cameos from Barack Obama, Joe Biden and a colourful collection of characters in the form of staffers, Secret Service agents and slippery journalists –
West Winging It is a truly unique take on one of the most unique offices in the world.
