Aside from polarizing personalities, both served as chief of staff to the president of the United StatesÌas 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, andÌmost cruciallyÌare the first in line to the leader of the free world's ear. Award-winning producer and journalist Chris Whipple demonstrates how those appointed to this lofty position have often served as de facto prime ministers, and the surprising extent to which their tenures have set the tone for our political climate. Through extensive, intimate interviews with all 20 living chiefs of staff and two former presidents, The Gatekeepers pulls back the curtain to expose how the nation's levers of power are operated by these right-hand advisors, and what each appointment reveals about its respective president. --Publisher 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $x Staff. 610 10 $a United States. $b White House Office $x Officials and employees. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government. 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Presidents $x Staff. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075812 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 941 $a 2 945 $a lpt 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728021127.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006110419.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DCFAFC9E2EFC11E7A97D5AD2DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b LG@Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
