SUMMARY:Meet Jean Becker and Tom Collamore
DESCRIPTION:Allowing us to witness presidential history and politics from a new angle\, Don’t Tell the President brings together the hilarious chaos of Veep and the grandeur of The West Wing. It is a memorable and at times laugh-out loud funny look at how many presidential events happen—and how many almost went awry. \nDon’t Tell the President is a collection of the greatest tales of triumph and near-crisis in presidential advance. Behind every seamless campaign appearance and presidential affair lies the meticulous work of event planners and advance teams—the little-known professionals who transform political logistics into carefully choreographed performances.Here are illuminating first-hand accounts from dedicated employees who worked for every modern-day president from Lyndon Johnson to Barack Obama\, a few First Ladies\, a few vice presidents\, and a few wannabes. \nJean Becker served as chief of staff for President George H.W. Bush for nearly twenty-five years. She’s the editor of Pearls of Wisdom by Barbara Bush; author of the New York Times bestseller\, The Man I Knew: The Amazing Story of George H.W. Bush’s Post Presidency; and Character Matter … And Other Life Lessons from George H.W. Bush.  \nTom Collamore first met President George H.W. Bush in 1978 as his driver and became part of his inner circle of staffers. Tom served in various roles throughout the twelve years of President Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush’s administrations and has been an advisor to the George and Barbara Bush Foundation for over thirty years.
