註釋Ronald Kessler focuses on the most myth-laden and clandestine institution of them all: the modern White House. From the hidden lives of the Presidents and first families to the intricate inner workings of this all-powerful institution, Kessler peels away the White House facade to reveal the fascinating and often scandalous reality behind the stately illusion. Kessler gained unprecedented access to Secret Service agents, domestic servants, Air force One stewards, military aides, chefs, and ushers. And the revelations are sensational. Kessler also reports on the outrageous costs of running the White House; the petty and wasteful turf wars among civil servants; the scandals involving White House chefs, barbers, and Secret Service agents; the spoiled excesses of presidential children; and much more.
