“One of the best reads of 2018." — Sean Hannity
"The book is well worth your time." — Megyn Kelly
"A story told with both heart and knowledge. Really good, go get it!" — President Donald J. Trump
No job is more of a pressure cooker than being a White House press secretary…especially in this White House.
For more than two decades, Sean Spicer had been a respected political insider, working as a campaign and communications strategist. But in December 2016, he got the call of a lifetime. President-elect Donald J. Trump had chosen him to be the White House press secretary. And life hasn’t been the same since. When he accepted the job, Spicer was far from a household name. But then he walked into the bright lights of the briefing room, and the cameras started rolling. His every word was scrutinized. Every movement was parodied. Every detail became a meme. And that’s just the public side. Behind the scenes, things were almost as difficult in an administration plagued by leaks that frustrated and angered both Spicer and the president. Not to mention the extraordinary pressures on Spicer’s family and his faith. Now, in his provocative and enlightening political memoir, The Briefing, Spicer reveals the truth behind some of the biggest news stories of our time, and he offers a glimpse into what it’s like to stand at the press secretary’s podium—and how he got there. The Briefing is the first insider account written by someone who worked on the Trump campaign, with the Trump transition team, and in the Trump White House—and has seen Donald Trump rallying voters, building an administration, and making crucial policy decisions. Spicer’s riveting and personal account makes The Briefing the must-read political memoir of the year.

Spicer, who comes from a modest New England background, is a normal American. He is amazed and humbled by the privilege of working in the White House for the President of the United States. Doing so cost him and his family personally. I admired Spicer when I saw him conduct media briefings on television, and I admire him even more after learning more about the person. The book is very readable, informative, and enlightening. Those who despise our President could stand a dose about our 45th President. We are privileged to have Americans like Spicer and Trump serve our nation with the real American values they represent.
Refreshing in that all those people I’ve sworn at over the Obama and Trump years are actually ‘people’ and maybe not the monsters the media presents.
Thru it all however I still have no reason to trust the media as a whole.
Was an easy read.
This is a excellent overview of the political process from the campaign to the election. He is pragmatic in his book and he chose to take the high road when writing about several situations and people. He had a tough job as Press Secretary and he had a tougher job dealing with the MSM who, after almost two years, are still complaining about the election.
It's worth the time to read it. Put more value in the reviews that are a verified purchase.
