Reviews"George Stephanopoulos's amazing book tells the truth. It puts us in the White House situation room with presidents from JFK to Biden. We are there when JFK makes a crucial decision about the Bay of Pigs, we are there with George Bush after the 9/11 strikes, and we are there with President Trump when he proposes the use of bleach to stop Covid. This book provides answers to questions we've had for years." -- James Patterson, "I know the gold standard of journalism when I see it, and George Stephanopoulos is it. This new book, The Situation Room , is simply mesmerizing. It delivers on the dream we all have of going behind the scenes to learn what was being said and done during some of the most dramatic moments in history. You don't want to miss this book. I know I can't put it down."-- Patricia Cornwell, "An effective blend of political analysis and personal stories, tied together at the epicenter of crisis management." -- Kirkus, "George Stephanopoulos's amazing book tells the truth. It puts us in the White House Situation Room with presidents from JFK to Biden. We are there when JFK creates the room after the Bay of Pigs, we are there during the 9/11 strikes, we are there during the chaotic moments after President Reagan is shot, and when President Obama orders the takedown of Osama bin Laden. This book provides answers to questions we've had for years." -- James Patterson
