Why read it?
1 author picked The Residence as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is a New York Times bestseller that details the inner workings of the White House. Superbly written with wonderful anecdotes and authentic stories about the White House staff and historical events. I was very pleased to be interviewed for this book. The author, Kate Anderson Brower, has written several books about the White House, and I would rate all of them highly.
From Christopher's list on from-a-white-house-insiders-perspective.
