Summary of Chris Whipple's The Gatekeepers
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 Richard Nixon was elected president in 1968, and he knew that the presidency was a splendid misery; however, he needed help. He hired Sherman Adams, a former New Hampshire governor, as his first chief of staff.
#2 Nixon was determined to control his own fate, and he wanted to exact revenge on his enemies. He summoned an important visitor: J. Edgar Hoover, the long-serving FBI director. Hoover told Nixon that Johnson had ordered the FBI to wiretap Nixon during the campaign.
#3 H. R. Bob Haldeman and Richard M. Nixon were an odd couple, bound by politics and expedience, yet worlds apart socially. Haldeman was a Los Angeles royalty figure, while Nixon belonged to another, rarefied world.
#4 The president's time is his most valuable asset. Nixon's staff system, which was designed by Haldeman, was a model and template of White House governance that every subsequent administration would follow.
