Jonathan Alter received access to senior level officials within the Administration.  That access helps this book to give you the feeling that you were sitting in the Oval Office while major discussions and decisions were being made from the once Obama won the election and was the President-Elect through his first days in office and onto everything from health care legislation, the auto industry bailout, the recession, the two wars and everything else that President Obama has juggled over the past year.

I really enjoyed the book especially because I had previously read David Plouffe’s book about the campaign so it was nice to tie both together.  Here are some more thoughts that I had on the book.
