pickLow end of the pick scale. The stories from White House residence staff were interesting, but Brower was all over the place. My two favorite sections had themes — children in the WH and how residence staff dealt with traumatic events like 9/11 and Kennedy‘s assassination. In many ways, Brower turns the staff members into saints. No staff member ever talks out of turn. All staff members respect and care for the families they serve. Really?
We rarely have the book just give us the lesson, but here we are. #andrewjohnson #impeachment #jonmeacham #uspolitics #ushistory #socialstudies #politicalscience #history #presidency #usgovernment
pickThis was so interesting! Full of sweet stories and surprising revelations from the White House resident staff. Covering multiple decades and presidents, I especially loved hearing about the caring relationships between the first families and staff. The author also explored the history of how the house staff system came about, race, and respect. One juicy stories too. Really fascinating, great on #audio Highly recommend!
We need more politicians like Lincoln who accept defeat and is willing to work with the administration to transition #abrahamlincoln #impeachment #jonmeacham #andrewjohnson #history #ushistory #politicalscience #uspolitics #kindlequotes
