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.
