Call the briefing!

by Marlin Fitzwater

For a decade, Marlin Fitzwater was White House spokesman for Presidents Reagan and Bush - a remarkably long sojourn in that high-pressure post. His longevity was a testament to the unique combination of talents he brought to the job. And his long tenure gave him unparalleled insight into the way the press and the presidency collide in today's Washington. Call the Briefing!, Fitzwater's memoir of the Reagan/Bush years, is an insightful, richly detailed account of the world where that struggle takes place.
