This book was decent. It covered a lot, but I'm not really sure why it took so much space to say what it did. The overt political bias is entertaining, but it distracts from the reading, and the lack of objectivity makes me question the book's accuracy. The sections on the individual branches are useful, but the rest of it mostly just repeats in a hundred different ways (and often not even in different ways) that the president is the most important part of the national security process.
