Exceptionally well-crafted description with many insights on the role of the President of the United States Chiefs of Staff. Book was in very good condition. We're pleased with this purchase and look forward to dealing with biblio.com regularly.

The Gatekeepers is nothing short of a brilliant read, from beginning to end. It expands in fascinating new detail the story the author told, together with filmmakers Jules and Gedeon Naudet, in the 2013 Discovery Channel documentary The Presidents' Gatekeepers, and less directly, but no less importantly, the story they told in the Showtime documentary, two years later, Spymasters: CIA in the Crosshairs (additional information, including trailers, available at chriswhipple.net). As such, it's as timely a window as one can imagine into presidential politics as they're currently unfolding: a riveting historical analysis that lays bare a central reason why the Trump presidency is in fact as dysfunctional as it appears. The picture that emerges is of a presidency that hinges on an old, but corrigible mistake, made by not a few past presidents early in their administrations, made by this one in newly spectacular fashion. For all us who want to understand better what's unfolding before our eyes, and in the process how we might manage to survive at least a bit further into the new century, this is absolutely and unequivocally essential reading!
