The Gatekeepers: How the White House Chiefs of Staff Define Every Presidency Paperback – Illustrated, 6 Mar. 2018

Well written and informative with a great understanding of how things work in the White House. Excellent

I don't often write reviews, however this book is highly worth recommending. It has an high quality blend of accurate detailed accounts and anecdotes which gives the reader history and personal insights into the COS's.The writing style is informative but avoids being dry. The access Whipple has to very senior officials across a range of information adds to what must be the best book in it's field so far.

probably the best book I have read this year Absolutely brilliantly researched and very well written.Politics and personalities and power all brilliantly conveyed.

This book is well worth reading if you are interested in American political life. I haven’t finished it yet but don’t want to put it down.

A new Presidential term is ample justification to reflect on what has gone before & in this revised book the author covers the history & development of the vital & pivotal role of White House Chief of Staff. Fast paced & well written it covers the modern role from Nixon through to Trump.An exciting read for all students & those with an interest in US politics.

Great book, well researched and easy to read.

A really good read and an excellent starting point for anyone to understand the job of WH CoS! Highly recommend!

In some ways it is terrifying to believe that a Presidency succeeds or fails dependent on the effectiveness of the chief of staff.
