Summary

In this engrossing narrative that brings to life key people and events during a calamitous time in American history, this book documents how Stephen Early remade what had been just a routine White House briefing function into the modern high-visibility role of the presidential press secretary. The book chronicles the lifelong loyalty of Early to President Roosevelt including their close but often tumultuous professional and personal relationship.
