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
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

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

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
