Not knowing much about Camp David, this book was a real eye-opener for me. Giorgione talks about the history of the place as well as the role the presidential retreat has played for each administration. Giorgione was in charge of the facility during part of the Clinton and George W. Bush years but he supplements his first-hand knowledge of the place with memories gleaned from other people who ran Camp David during the the Obama, George H.W. Bush, Reagan, Ford, Nixon, Kennedy, Eisenhower and FDR. In addition to being a place for the President "to get away from it all" Camp David has also served as a place for bringing key leaders together to discuss their differences. It includes photos.
