Nerve Center

"Michael K. Bohn, a former director of the Situation Room for President Reagan, dispels the myths and describes the real-life drama of this critical facility. Historic crises come alive in Nerve Center, from the Vietnam War (when President Johnson frequented the Situation Room in his pajamas to micromanage the war), to the attempted assassination of President Reagan, to today's high-tech war on terrorism. Bohn has recruited numerous officials, including former staff members, to tell the colorful history of the Situation Room and to describe how this facility will evolve to help the president meet the challenges of an increasingly dangerous future. This insider's account provides fascinating reading for anyone who wants to know more about how the modern White House really operates."--BOOK JACKET.
