Praise for Chris Whipple's The Gatekeepers "A vivid, enthralling, and brilliantly reported account of White House chiefs of staff, who are--with all respects to US vice presidents--the actual second-most-powerful people in Washington. This is US history through the fascinating prism of the men who guard the door to the Oval Office, and a learned, welcome, and important addition to the study of the executive branch." --Christopher Buckley, author of Thank You for Smoking , No Way to Treat a First Lady , and The Relic Master "Chief of Staff is a role of recent vintage--the most powerful job in government never mentioned in the Constitution. Chris Whipple has done a wonderful job humanizing the crushing nature of the 24/7 job (literally 24/7) in which all credit or blame goes to the President who is served. This is a book of insights, but so too is it an important manual on how the executive branch of our government functions." --Charles Gibson, former anchor, ABC World News Tonight "The story of White House chiefs of staff--often second only to the president in power--is an especially fresh and engaging way to chart the ups and downs of recent American presidents. And through Chris Whipple's discerning lens, we learn scores of new things about how government really works at the highest level." --Jonathan Alter, author of The Center Holds: Obama and His Enemies and The Promise: President Obama, Year One "I loved The Gatekeepers ! The reporting is superb, the writing engaging and wonderfully fair-minded. Unbuttoned at last, these chiefs have wonderful stories to tell. This book serves as a compellingly readable thank-you note to a motley crew of policy nerds, fixers, maniacs, and soon-to-be-ex-best friends of the president who have lost sleep--and probably several years off their lives--in the service of the White House, and of their country." --Alex Beam, author of The Feud , Gracefully Insane , and American Crucifixion

Synopsis
The first in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at the White House Chiefs of Staff, whose actions--and inactions--have defined the course of our country. What do Dick Cheney and Rahm Emanuel have in common? Aside from polarizing personalities, both served as chief of staff to the president of the United States--as did Donald Rumsfeld, Leon Panetta, and a relative handful of others. The chiefs of staff, often referred to as "the gatekeepers," wield tremendous power in Washington and beyond; they decide who is allowed to see the president, negotiate with Congress to push POTUS's agenda, and--most crucially--enjoy unparalleled access to the leader of the free world. Each chief can make or break an administration, and each president reveals himself by the chief he picks. Through extensive, intimate interviews with all seventeen living chiefs and two former presidents, award-winning journalist and producer Chris Whipple pulls back the curtain on this unique fraternity. In doing so, he revises our understanding of presidential history, showing us how James Baker's expert managing of the White House, the press, and Capitol Hill paved the way for the Reagan Revolution--and, conversely, how Watergate, the Iraq War, and even the bungled Obamacare rollout might have been prevented by a more effective chief. Filled with shrewd analysis and never-before-reported details, The Gatekeepers offers an essential portrait of the toughest job in Washington.
