The West Wing and Beyond: What I Saw Inside the Presidency by Pete Souza

informative inspiring fast-paced

4.0

Words and photographs of the places and people in and around the U.S. presidency. Pete Souza was a White House photographer for five years in the Reagan administration and the official presidential photographer for all eight years of Barack Obama’s presidency. What I found most interesting in this book is that President Obama is just a bit player: one sees his foot, his hand, his back or a bit of his profile, but the focus is on other staff members and the various presidential spaces in and outside of the White House. Truly a fascinating take, and I recommend this book.
