Resumen del Editor
Every president has had a unique and complicated relationship with the intelligence community. While some have been coolly distant, even adversarial, others have found their intelligence agencies to be among the most valuable instruments of policy and power.
Since John F. Kennedy's presidency, this relationship has been distilled into a personalized daily report: a short summary of what the intelligence apparatus considers the most crucial information for the president to know that day about global threats and opportunities. This top-secret document is known as the President's Daily Brief, or, within national security circles, simply "the Book". Presidents have spent anywhere from a few moments (Richard Nixon) to a healthy part of their day (George W. Bush) consumed by its contents; some (Bill Clinton and George H. W. Bush) consider it far and away the most important document they saw on a regular basis while commander in chief.
The details of most PDBs are highly classified and will remain so for many years. But the process by which the intelligence community develops and presents the Book is a fascinating look into the operation of power at the highest levels. David Priess, a former intelligence officer and daily briefer, has interviewed every living former president and vice president as well as more than 100 others intimately involved with the production and delivery of the president's book of secrets. He offers an unprecedented window into the decision making of every president from Kennedy to Obama, with many character-rich stories revealed here for the first time.

In 1975, fresh out of law school and working a numbing job at the Treasury Department, John Rizzo took "a total shot in the dark" and sent his résumé to the CIA. In Company Man, Rizzo charts the CIA's evolution from shadowy entity to an organization exposed to new laws, rules, and a seemingly never-ending string of public controversies. Rizzo offers a direct window into the CIA in the years after the 9/11 attacks, when he served as the agency's top lawyer, with oversight of actions that remain the subject of intense debate today.

From the former secretary of defense, a strikingly candid, vivid account of serving Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. When Robert M. Gates received a call from the White House, he thought he'd long left Washington politics behind: After working for six presidents in both the CIA and the National Security Council, he was happily serving as president of Texas A&M University. But when he was asked to help a nation mired in two wars and to aid the troops doing the fighting, he answered what he felt was the call of duty.

By the time Henry Kissinger was made secretary of state in 1973, he had become, according to a Gallup poll, the most admired person in America and one of the most unlikely celebrities ever to capture the world’s imagination. Yet Kissinger was also reviled by large segments of the American public, ranging from liberal intellectuals to conservative activists. Kissinger explores the relationship between this complex man's personality and the foreign policy he pursued.

Theirs was the most captivating American political partnership since Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger: a bold and untested president and his seasoned, relentless vice president. Confronted by one crisis after another, they struggled to protect the country, remake the world, and define their own relationship along the way. In Days of Fire, Peter Baker chronicles the history of the most consequential presidency in modern times through the prism of its two most compelling characters, capturing the elusive and shifting alliance of George Walker Bush and Richard Bruce Cheney as no historian has done before.

The chiefs of staff, often referred to as "the gatekeepers", wield tremendous power in Washington and beyond; they decide who is allowed to see the president, negotiate with Congress to push POTUS's agenda, and - most crucially - enjoy unparalleled access to the leader of the free world. Through extensive, intimate interviews with 18 living chiefs (including Reince Priebus) and two former presidents, award-winning journalist and producer Chris Whipple pulls back the curtain on this unique fraternity. In doing so, he revises our understanding of presidential history.

But the main insurgency is the one led at home by a new generation of officers - including Petraeus, John Nagl, David Kilcullen, and H. R. McMaster - who were seized with an idea on how to fight these kinds of "small wars" and who adapted their enemies' techniques to overhaul their own army.

In 1953, a top-secret manual teaching agents sleight-of-hand and other deception techniques was written for the CIA by America’s then most famous magician. All copies were believed destroyed by the CIA’s purge of the infamous MKULTRA documents in 1973, and there was no proof of the manual’s existence . . . until a copy was discovered among the CIA’s recently declassified archives. The manual in this work is thought to represent the only surviving copy of magician John Mulholland’s instructions.

Antonio Mendez and his future wife, Jonna, were CIA operatives working to spy on Moscow in the late 1970s, at one of the most dangerous moments in the Cold War. Soviets kept files on all foreigners, studied their patterns, tapped their phones, and even planted listening devices within the US embassy. In short, intelligence work was effectively impossible. The Soviet threat loomed larger than ever. The Moscow Rules tells the story of the intelligence breakthroughs that turned the odds in America's favor.

Historia
In 1953, a top-secret manual teaching agents sleight-of-hand and other deception techniques was written for the CIA by America’s then most famous magician. All copies were believed destroyed by the CIA’s purge of the infamous MKULTRA documents in 1973, and there was no proof of the manual’s existence . . . until a copy was discovered among the CIA’s recently declassified archives. The manual in this work is thought to represent the only surviving copy of magician John Mulholland’s instructions.

What defines who we are? For decades, the answer has seemed obvious: our genes, the "blueprint of life." In The Master Builder, biologist Alfonso Martinez Arias argues we've been missing the bigger picture. It's not our genes that define who we are, but our cells.

Historia
Antonio Mendez and his future wife, Jonna, were CIA operatives working to spy on Moscow in the late 1970s, at one of the most dangerous moments in the Cold War. Soviets kept files on all foreigners, studied their patterns, tapped their phones, and even planted listening devices within the US embassy. In short, intelligence work was effectively impossible. The Soviet threat loomed larger than ever. The Moscow Rules tells the story of the intelligence breakthroughs that turned the odds in America's favor.

Good for what it is.
You must enjoy the minutiae of Presidential routine to stay with this book. The comparison of styles between the Presidents is interesting as are aspects of the book's changes over time.

About CIA | Not What I was Hoping For
I cant recall if I read the dam summary or not, regardless, I was hoping for some juicy government secrets (sshhhhh!)
This book did a great job on telling the story centered around a publication delivered to the Presidents over the decades, however it was more about the CIA than anything else.
No juicy secrets uncovered, just a history over the PDB's evolution.
Would I out right recommend this book to anyone? Hahaha...NO!
Are you a history buff and find anything about the guvment interesting? Well then, this book is right up your alley.
Although it was disappointing on the basis that this book was not what I was expecting, this should not discount the fact that the author did a good job showing the reader (or listener) on a very narrow subject matter such as the PDB, how it transformed throughout the years & how different personalities shaped the document even through criticism at the highest level of guvment (POTUS).

A fascinating and enlightening look at the Presidents Daily Briefing
As a citizen of the United States (and, as a person who has a healthy curiosity of the presidency), I found that this book has enlightened me on one of the most important roles of the President of the United States: the safety and security of the nation. This is facilitated perhaps in many ways, but one of the most basic and initial ways is through the President’s Daily Briefing (PDB). In his book, David Priess offers a thorough and revealing look into the PDB and it’s rich and interesting history. There are things that obviously cannot be revealed. But “The Presidents Book of Secrets” will give the reader an insight into what the President must use in consultation with other security experts to maintain the nations safety and security. I, for one, am glad that we have a vast network of folks working on this in the various national agencies. I also gained and cultivated a healthy respect for our nations leaders as a result. You will definitely enjoy this book if you are interested in learning how the President of the United States gets his information at the start of his day and how this PDB shapes what is potentially going to happen during that day…and beyond.

Bush Jr was the “golden age of the PDB?!
The author asserts that George bush Jr was the golden age of the president daily brief. That’s a stunning admission considering bush Jr was in charge during the greatest intelligence failures in us history (9/11 and Iraq). It really tells you how bureaucratic and delusional these right wing nuts really are. Let’s stop pretending he’s something other than an abject failure.

book about crybabies
Would you try another book from David Priess and/or Jason Culp?
No chance
What do you think your next listen will be?
Something with action
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
Narrator wasn't too bad.
Do you think The President's Book of Secrets needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No chance. This is a book full of people whining. Presidents whining because they didn't want to read the PDB or it didn't have the right info, and Intel personnel whining because the presidents never patted them on the heads saying, "good boy. That's a good boy!"

Boring Book
Struggle to finish the book. A few interesting facts but I didn't find it worth the time to listen to.

Goes great paired with Drift by Rachel Maddow
this book lends insight into what was going through the minds of our Modern Day Presidents and seriously goes great with Drift. The two combined layer a comprehensive overview of US Intelligence and Military changes that we should all be keenly aware of. A must read.

Beyond boring
This book has no real substance. It is all
about process and not content. And the process is boring. There is very little historical substance other than who wrote and read what. I would recommend skipping it.

about the report and nothing but the report
Extremely limited book tells you who liked the report, who didn't like it, how the report changed form in ridiculous detail. If you want to see the presidency through a soda straw with this stupid report always in the foreground, go ahead and get it.
Oh...don't expect to see or read one though! They let Putin read one but not us! Lol.
Waist of time.

Hoping for More
i was hoping to hear about declassified stories from the PDB, but that was only about 5% of the book. Instead it was more about the people behind and presentation of the book.
