Summary

Marlin Fitzwater is one of the longest serving White House press secretaries, serving under both Presidents H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan, for ten years, 1983-93. His front row seat to some of America's most defining moments provides an intimate look at what transpired inside the White House in the wake of Saddam Hussein's audacious moves to control a portion of the world's oil reserves and substantial coastline on the Persian Gulf. Fitzwater's diary entries give a play-by-play of the events from the press briefings to deployment of troops - all interspersed with personal accounts of his interactions with President Bush and world leaders, offering insight to the states of mind of the powerful people responsible for making monumental decisions as well as a snapshot of his own personal experience in the White House
