From one of the only senior national security officials to serve under Presidents Bush, Obama, and Trump, a riveting diplomatic memoir of America at war, and an exclusive insider's look at how successive presidents made life-and-death decisions under pressure. As commanders-in-chief, modern American presidents have obtained nearly unchecked powers of awesome reach and consequence. Yet, the exercise of this power is rarely seen up close across multiple administrations, especially under three very different presidents. Brett McGurk was often in the room as these most fateful decision were made, and he deploys his insights as a vital player across two decades of American history to pull back the curtain. Through vivid stories from his time in Iraq early in the war and then dealing with its aftermath over fifteen years—from senior posts at the White House and State Department, through diplomacy around the world, including hostage negotiations, building coalitions, and raising armies, to battlefields with American troops as they experiment with new modes of warfare—McGurk offers a unique, behind-the-scenes account of how three presidents made and executed war-and-peace decisions in real-time. President Bush transforms his presidency over its last two years, becoming the most hands-on commander-in-chief since FDR. Obama demands rigorous process but then must rapidly develop a new way to fight when confronted with the rise of ISIS. Trump throws out the playbook, delegating entirely to subordinates until he suddenly intervenes and overrules them, leaving allies bewildered as adversaries take advantage of American uncertainty. From their successes and failures, McGurk extracts urgent lessons about leadership and America’s role in the world. He offers an urgent warning about failure to carefully align ends with means and shines a light on the deeply personal nature of policy-making and diplomacy. As Washington confronts increasingly complex challenges from terrorism, to pandemics, climate change, and great power rivalries, these lessons have never been more vital. In page-turning prose, Command lifts the mystique of the highest-stakes deliberations, illuminating the fateful choices made by a few that profoundly affect us all and will shape the future of our world. From the Oval Office to the battlefields of the Middle East, across the table from hostile powers, to the gilded palaces of aging kings and upstart princes, to centuries-old ministries across Europe, Command is a deeply personal account of an epochal period in American and world history.

Donald Trump’s stunning and surprising election to the US presidency has convulsed the political, academic, and journalistic worlds. No president has taken the oath of office with as little political experience. And his first few months in office have raised the central question: Can an outsider govern? In The Trump Presidency, Steven E. Schier and Todd E. Eberly provide students with a brief, comprehensive introduction to the remarkable launch of the new administration. After briefly describing the Trump electoral victory, they provide critical insight into the Trump transition and media strategy, and relations with Congress as well as the challenges the new administration confronts on domestic and foreign policy. A final chapter describes the prospects for a presidency marred by missed opportunities in Congress, some setbacks in the courts, low popularity, and ongoing personnel drama. The Trump Presidency provides a succinct Trump-centric view of the American presidency and introduces students to all major aspects of the new administration.

The most solemn obligation of any president is to safeguard the nation's security. But the president cannot do this alone. He needs help. In the past half century, presidents have relied on their national security advisers to provide that help. Who are these people, the powerful officials who operate in the shadow of the Oval Office, often out of public view and accountable only to the presidents who put them there? Some remain obscure even to this day. But quite a number have names that resonate far beyond the foreign policy elite: McGeorge Bundy, Henry Kissinger, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice. Ivo Daalder and Mac Destler provide the first inside look at how presidents from John F. Kennedy to George W. Bush have used their national security advisers to manage America's engagements with the outside world. They paint vivid portraits of the fourteen men and one woman who have occupied the coveted office in the West Wing, detailing their very different personalities, their relations with their presidents, and their policy successes and failures. It all started with Kennedy and Bundy, the brilliant young Harvard dean who became the nation's first modern national security adviser. While Bundy served Kennedy well, he had difficulty with his successor. Lyndon Johnson needed reassurance more than advice, and Bundy wasn't always willing to give him that. Thus the basic lesson -- the president sets the tone and his aides must respond to that reality. The man who learned the lesson best was someone who operated mainly in the shadows. Brent Scowcroft was the only adviser to serve two presidents, Gerald Ford and George H. W. Bush. Learning from others' failures, he found the winning formula: gain the trust of colleagues, build a collaborative policy process, and stay close to the president. This formula became the gold standard -- all four national security advisers who came after him aspired to be "like Brent." The next president and national security adviser can learn not only from success, but also from failure. Rice stayed close to George W. Bush -- closer perhaps than any adviser before or since. But her closeness did not translate into running an effective policy process, as the disastrous decision to invade Iraq without a plan underscored. It would take years, and another national security aide, to persuade Bush that his Iraq policy was failing and to engineer a policy review that produced the "surge." The national security adviser has one tough job. There are ways to do it well and ways to do it badly. Daalder and Destler provide plenty of examples of both. This book is a fascinating look at the personalities and processes that shape policy and an indispensable guide to those who want to understand how to operate successfully in the shadow of the Oval Office.

When Donald Trump was elected president, Kathy Hayes was stunned. He didn't have relevant experience or qualifications. He mocked women, immigrants veterans and the disabled. He had presided over a string of bankruptcies, lawsuits and a bogus university. She knew she couldn't remain silent. On Dec. 1, 2016, she wrote him an old-fashioned paper letter, put it in an envelope with a stamp and mailed it. Then she wrote another, and another. Beginning on Inauguration Day, the letters became a daily discipline. What began as a simple act of protest morphed into much more: a chronicle of current events and presidential misdeeds; a journal of her frustrations and fears; and the birth story of an unlikely activist. With flashes of humor, poignancy and righteous anger, Hayes's letters document the struggles of an ordinary citizen trying to make sense of a presidency like no other. Entertaining and inspiring, Oval Office Occupant challenges readers to find within themselves the courage to speak truth to power.
