THE GATEKEEPERS How the White House Chiefs of Staff Define Every Presidency

This audiobook introduces listeners to people the author believes may have more influence over the success of presidencies than anyone except the chief executives themselves--chiefs of staff. Narrator Mark Bramhall's deep pitch will rattle the low end of your sound system, and he uses it to report the facts in a no-nonsense approach that fits this book's tone. Bramhall doesn't have an elastic voice, but he does have an authoritative tone, and he sets a pace that allows us to follow the intrigue, political infighting, and policy successes that historical chiefs of staff have experienced during their tenures. He tells stories that most Americans haven't heard in a low-key manner that allows the words to take precedence. R.I.G. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2017]
