Under This Roof: The White House and the Presidency--21 Presidents, 21 Rooms, 21 Inside Stories

â€œLike taking a tour of the White House with a gifted storyteller at your side!â€ Why, in the minutes before John F. Kennedy was murdered, was a blood-red carpet installed in the Oval Office? If Abraham Lincoln never slept in the Lincoln Bedroom, where did he sleep?Why was one president nearly killed in the White House on inauguration dayâ€”and another secretly sworn in? What really happened in the Situation Room on September 11, 2001? History leaps off the page in this â€œriveting,â€ â€œfast-movingâ€ and â€œhighly entertainingâ€ book on the presidency and White House in Under This Roof, from award-winning White House-based journalist Paul Brandus. Reporting from the West Wing briefing room since 2008, Brandusâ€”the most followed White House journalist on Twitter (@WestWingReport)â€”weaves together stories of the presidents, their families, the events of their timeâ€”and an oft-ignored major character, the White House itself.
