.@TeviTroy’s new book is a fascinating read - come for his characteristically encyclopedic knowledge of presidential history, stay for the jokes section at the end. Another must-read from the Presidentcher Rav. (And thanks for the shoutout #stamstu)

Gonna be hard to update @WhatJfrsnRead: “Neither man has been touched by a scintilla of culture. It’s difficult to imagine either ever having read a serious book, sat through a classical music concert, or strolled through an art museum“ Joseph Epstein @WSJ https://t.co/sZFTGWIvOQ

“Presidential historian Tevi Troy quipped that the starry #Gaga-#JLo lineup was not A-list, but D-list — ‘for Democratic. When Democrats win you get the more standard celebrities,” said Troy, author of @WhatJfrsnRead." ⁦@JocelynNoveckAP⁩ https://t.co/msl561eXyU

“Troy’s portrait of #WhiteHouse rivalries is essential reading for political junkies & lay readers alike. The writing is vibrant, characters bold, & the turf fights familiar to anybody who follows Washington politics even casually” @davidmarkdc @dcexaminer https://t.co/za7SLPhsEm

Great John Coyne review of @fighthouse2020 calls me “uniquely equipped to deal with subject of White House infighting.” He also praises my “historian’s perspective, political insights & clean crisp prose” @washtimesopinion https://t.co/oKtetL2ita

“I very highly recommend a new book by the great presidential historian Tevi Troy. @FightHouse2020 is packed with fascinating tales of mind-boggling bickering in the highest reaches of the executive branch.” Yuval Levin @nro. @aei @nationalaffairs @regnery https://t.co/RMVwZ3CAbx

[Tevi Troy @TeviTroy]

“infighting is the subject of Tevi Troy’s superb new book, @FightHouse2020. The book is full of gossip, which makes it fun to read. But Tevi also ties the gossip to the way each administration played out,
including its policies” Paul Mirengoff, @PLine2019: https://t.co/uwGjzyz9If
