The White House Mess — Christopher Buckley

At last -- a White House reminiscence that pulls no punches! Herbert Wadlough, Personal Assistant to President Thomas N. Tucker (TNT), offers his unique and utterly self-serving inside view of the historic years 1989-1993 of the ill-fated Tucker administration, in which he played such a crucial role. From the inauguration crisis -- when President Reagan refused to vacate the White House -- to the epochal War on Bermuda, to the delicate negotiations (sexual, for the most part) between the President and his First Lady, Wadlough gives an account that is open, honest -- and hilarious.
