0-275-99098-2/978-0-275-99098-5

Description
Explains how White House press secretaries have for decades developed the art of shaping the news in their daily press briefings to reporters in favor of the president—the highly sophisticated, complex communications strategy popularly known as spin.

Reviews:
-All the President's Spokesmen, is the first to explore in such breadth the complex and often tense relationship between presidents, presidential press secretaries and the eporters who cover the White House....This is wonderful stuff if you're interested in such things and you won't hear any of it at the next press conference. —Westport News
-Klein, former New York City Mayor John Lindsay's press secretary, explains how the role of presidential press secretary has evolved from the public relations directors known to FDR and Truman to the spinmeisters of recent administration....He organizes material by topics that include the Cold War, presidential scandals, domestic crises, and global issues....This book is a welcome marriage of well-researched scholarship and an engagingly fresh style. Most sections are well documented, and there is an extensive bibliography. Recommended for public and academic communications collections. —Library Journal
