Review
On one level, this is a likable tale about an unpretentious guy. But it's also a depressing reminder that much of the presidency has become a giant road production. ... Chitester's book is also an important reminder that politics and campaigns remain a pretty meritocratic endeavor where kids from modest backgrounds and state colleges can find themselves in exciting positions. -- The Washington Monthly, Nov. 1997
Packed with details large and small -- from health-care policy to what the President ate for lunch -- this insider's journal describes how the White House communications staff works ... and works. -- Indiana Alumni Magazine, Nov./Dec. 1997
There's some fresh and genuine insight here as to how the White House works internally -- and while they appear unintentional, juicy and intriguing glimpses of famous folks pepper the narrative, plopped into chapter after chapter without any warning. ... You know after a couple of pages that Chitester is a stone truth-teller. -- Gannett News Service, Jan. 1998
Want a real story of politics in action and the President at work? This reveals staffer experiences and special challenges. -- The Bookwatch, Nov. 1997
