Publisher's Summary

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-listen political book of the year.

Mainstream Media

Have had their collective butts handed to them by this President. As opposed to "wagging the dog" this is an about face, in politics. With the way people get their information (not newspapers anymore), and even an apparent President who "Tweets" all the time, I had always thought Sean had the worst job in the world, but having listened to his story, I began to appreciate all that he did behind the scenes. A must read for any Trump haters, to get the blood boiling so as to bring social media to a point in our world where we do not believe everything the media says. Well written.
