Title: A room with a view
Review: Too often for my tastes, knowledge about politics or officials - for most - comes in the form of media soundbites. My appreciation for material and experiences as described by Gergen is second to none, and we could certainly use more fair-minded and balanced assessments such as those he provided about the Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and Clinton administrations in which he served.Gergen succeeded in detailing the weaknesses and strengths of each president, the nuances of working with cabinet and staff towards implementing policy, and the sometimes harrowing walk between principle and what is "effective".Read it, and add to the wave of those who really care about how the world and nation's leaders get it done.
