Black and blue in the White house

In Fight House, historian and former senior White House aide Tevi Troy examines some of the nastiest and most consequential internal administration struggles in modern American history. In doing so, he not only provides context on the administrations, the players, and their in-fighting, but also shows how those fights shaped the administrations in question, the presidents’ historical reputations, and the policy landscape of modern America. In showing these battles, the book highlights the tough tactics used to prevail in bureaucratic disputes.

Part riveting interpersonal history and part analysis of the commanders in chief and their teams, Fight House will be essential reading for students of the presidency, and of the nation as a whole.
