The author of one of my favorite books, Call the Briefing, is back with another memoir about life as press secretary to two Presidents. Marlin Fitzwater is a master storyteller - you can't believe all that he's witnessed, and we're blessed that he's willing to share his private writings and memories with us. --Dana Pereno, Fox News & White House Press Secretary, President George W. Bush This book reads just like Marlin: it's keenly observed, brutally honest, clear-eyed, plain-spoken and sometimes really funny - proof of why he was appointed White House press secretary by two presidents - and was one of the very best. --Dee Dee Myers, White House Press Secretary, President William J. Clinton There is no one better at the job of working with the White House press corps than Marlin Fitzwater, a farm boy from Kansas who made it to the top as Spokesman for two Presidents. You'll find the stories Marlin tells fascinating (an inside look reporters don't see) but also a welcome reminder of a time when Presidents and their Press Secretary tried to their jobs with integrity, honesty and civility. --Sam Donaldson, ABC News White House Correspondent There is no one better at the job of White House press secretary than Marlin Fitzwater - a farm boy from Kansas tell his remarkable story and includes his diary entries offering first-hand, accounts of some of the truly historic events he lived. --Andy Card, White House Chef of Staff, President George W. Bush
