Its a rare thing to be good at Public Service, to be a person of action and its a rare thing to be a scholar and be excellent at the study of something and tevi troy and Kiron Skinner both bring thatto the table. Tevi was someone who worked in many places in Public Service from congress to several departments, the department of labor and hhs importantly at the white house which is what these books are about, this book and several of his other books. Is again an accomplished author was written in addition to this pieces on the white house and about intellectuals in the white house as well as Emergency Preparedness in the white house. And the use of socialmedia by president s. So i hope you will take the time to listen but also to think about buying this book. Weve got fourth of july coming up, we have president s birthdays in the summer. Anytime is a good one for a loved one to learn moreabout the white house and the presidency. Kiron
