""Entertaining and engaging."" - Wall Street Journal on The Gatekeepers ""Compelling and insightful . . . destined to take its place alongside classic works by Richard Neustadt, Theodore White and other White House chroniclers. . . . A must-read."" - Huffington Post on The Gatekeepers ""Carefully researched and eminently readable, The Gatekeepers . . . provides a fresh view of the modern presidencies. Whipple cuts to the heart of what, or more to the point who, makes a presidency succeed or fail."" - Newsday on The Gatekeepers ""A treasure trove of stories about the second-most-powerful job in government.'"" - Fort Worth Star Telegram on The Gatekeepers ""The best book about the CIA I've ever read. Its revelations are eye-popping, alternately exhilarating and depressing. . . . How Whipple managed to pull so much history together, how he extracted such a wealth of detail from his principal sources--the CIA leaders themselves--is quite simply mind-boggling. This is an important book. And one hell of a story."" - Christopher Buckley on The Spymasters ""A genial, engaging portrait of the men and one woman who have run the C.I.A. over the past six decades."" - New York Times on The Spymasters ""It's urgent that you read this book."" - Steve Schmidt ""Fascinating."" - Next Question, iHeart Radio ""Fresh reporting on the genesis of Harris's campaign--and its sorrowful conclusion."" - Vanity Fair ""If you're an American, The Spymasters is required reading."" - Chicago Review of Books on The Spymasters ""A voyage into the unforgivable...vivid, engaging."" - New York Times ""Explosive."" - The Guardian ""Whipple's Blockbuster."" - The Guardian ""I want all of you to go out and buy this book now."" - Jesse Watters, Fox News ""If you're a political junkie, or just wondering how we got into the mess we're in right now, this is a must-read."" - Katie Couric
