THE SITUATION ROOM by GEORGE STEPHONOPOLIS

 Until I read this book, I was vaguely informed of the President’s Situation Room where his loyal assistants of all sorts would gather to discuss vital political issues at the moment. One of important characteristics of the room is that the participants never shared the discussions with the public. Obviously this makes sense. The public should not be informed of ins and outs of the discussion. The public would eventually get the bottom line that was agreed upon. 

In addition, I was able to recollect many of the issues that effected this nation and the world. 

In short, the book serves as a history of the Situation Room since it was established in1961.

THE CALL TO SERVE (Life of President George Herbert Walker Bush) by JON MEACHAM

 This is a detailed capture of the life of President Bush. What made the book more entertaining were the number of photos that spelled out his life.

THE AGE of GRIEVANCE by FRANK BRUNI

 The twists and turns of American politics are unpredictable. Americans think that they are losing because others are winning. The authors surely captures the dichotomy which is evident in virtually all  avenues. It can reference politics, sex, males vs females etc. 

Needless to say, it is not an easy read but surely does justice to our bewildering experiences
