2024 books!

I’m thrilled to announce that on May 14, 2024, Hachette  will publish The Situation Room, by George Stephanopoulos with Lisa Dickey. George was an absolute dream to work with, and the book is a riveting popular history of one of the most secretive spaces in American government. You can preorder the book here.

Advance praise from Booklist:

This book opens with a new perspective on the events of January 6, 2021: that of Mike Stiegler, a White House Situation Room officer, who stepped out of his car at 4:20 a.m. that day and thought, “This doesn’t feel right.” The Situation Room, or Sit Room, is a 5,000-square-foot operations center on the ground floor of the West Wing. Created in 1961 to be a communications hub amid national crises, it epitomizes the expression “if these walls could talk.” And if anyone can coax confessions out of them, it is political commentator and former White House communications director Stephanopoulos.

Putting himself, gonzo-style, at the center of the action, he takes the reader on a thrilling tour of this little known but crucial facet of the United States government.
