Only useful if you don't want to watch an episode.......2006-01-04
I don't understand the previous two reviewers. Most of the text consists of a precis of what happens in each episode. If you've just watched the episode you get either nothing from the text or if you're lucky a single extra piece of information.
These additional bits of information are not worth buying the book for.
Interesting read for a fan of the show.......2005-08-03
If your a fan of The Westwing and don't have all the time in the world to cruise the web for every minor detail about the show or individual episodes, then this would be a good book for you. It has alot of minor trivia that you would not neccesarily know as a casual fan.
Covers first three seasons and a portion of the fourth.......2004-08-24
Topping wrote excellent episode guides to "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," a series which I like for the same reason I like "West Wing": I am willing to overlook unrealistic, inconsistent plots to enjoy the witty dialogue.
I zeroed in on Topping's treatment of "Dead Irish Writers," the worst episode of the series. Topping accurately points out that the whole Donna-is-suddenly-Canadian plotline is ridiculous on many levels, and how unbelievable it is that the "English" (British?) ambassador would make rude comments to the President about the First Lady's body. However, the low point of the book is Topping's asinine rant about how the Northern Ireland conflict is solely about national loyalties and has nothing to do with religion. Nothing to do with religion?!
Topping, a Brit, gives four to six pages for each episode, focussing on logical flaws, memorable lines, actors' prior roles, and oddball categories such as "Oh, Donna!" Overall, the author's insights compared unfavorably to those in his "Buffy" books, but it is still the best hard-copy episode guide on the market. The "revised and updated" 2004 edition covers the first three seasons plus the first seven episodes of the fourth season.
Book Description
The Executive Branch has undergone vast and dramatic changes over the past fifty years. The development, coordination, and articulation of policy is no longer in the Cabinet, but has now become centered in the White House and in its large and energetic staff.
How large is that staff? Much larger than the seventy-five people who work in the West Wing, or the ninety-six who staff the Executive Residence. In fact, there are one hundred twenty-five separately identifiable offices in the total White House staff community (above and beyond the Executive Office)-employing nearly 5,700 men and women. Shrouded in anonymity, protected by executive privilege, and lacking legal or constitutional authority of their own, White House staff members shape, focus, and amplify the presidential power. Yet the public has almost no perception of the staff's complexity or size. Why has the staff become so central-and so large? How is it organized and what do those one hundred twenty-five offices actually do? In this sequel to his critically praised 1988 book, Ring of Power, veteran White House staff member Bradley Patterson takes us inside the closely guarded turf of the White House to reveal the pressures, the frustrations, and the exultation of White House service. In a straightforward narrative free of both partisan and personal agendas, Patterson provides an encyclopedic description of the contemporary White House staff and its operations: Fully describes the twenty-two principal White House staff offices, including those of the First Lady, the Vice President, and (for the first time) the Vice President's spouse Portrays the dozens of hidden, but essential, White House support units-such as the Military Office, the Executive Clerk, the Presidential Diarist-about which the public is completely unaware For the first time in presidential literature, lays out an accounting of the total budget of the modern White House Patterson' s new book will be an indispensable blueprint for the next Chief Executive and incoming staff, and it will be eye-opening reading for students of the presidency and for anyone who has ever wondered: what really goes on behind those gates? Praise for Ring of Power: "Should be required reading for anyone serving in the next administration.... Patterson's book offers a catalogue of updated institutional memory to the bright-eyed aides who will be rushing into the West Wing of the White House in January." -The New York Times

Great View from Inside!.......2006-07-26
Excellent view of the complete White House staff from people who have roamed the halls of perhaps the most famous building in Washington.
Great White House reference.......2003-01-08
"The White House Staff: Inside the West Wing and Beyond" serves as a wonderful organizational guide of the White House, principally describing the responsibilities of the major policy offices and how the senior personnel discharges these responsibilities. In doing this, author Bradley Patterson makes his major argument that policy implementation and coordination is being drawn away from line departments and centralized in the White House.
From national security advisor to press secretary, Patterson does a great job describing in detail what each position does. Patterson divides the book into four parts. The first part, a short two chapters, tries to position the reader atop the "White House gates" by showing the overall organization and how post-war presidents have all strengthened power in the White House. The second part takes up the bulk of the book, as Patterson goes into detail about the "not-so-bashful bureaucracy" and explores each position and office. Part three is one short chapter about the professional staff of the White House, including information on Air Force One, Camp David, the Secret Service, and more. This chapter is quite interesting. The final part of the book is spent looking to the future of White House service.
In the end, this book is a thorough description of what goes on in the White House. It is a long read, and I do not recommend reading it in one sitting (unless you are about to work in the White House!). Instead, this book is a great way to read about the broad organization of the White House (part 1). The reader can then explore the offices or position that he is interested in. This is perhaps the most beneficial quality of the book - it is organized in such a way to allow the reader to jump around from topic to topic. "The White House Staff" in effect is the "Dummies guide" to the White House and serves as awesome reference material.
An Insider's View of the White House Office.......2002-12-26
This book was informative, engaging and very revealing. Patterson systematically unveils the various departments and duties of the little recognized White House Office. Although it is a long read, the knowledge gleaned from this book is practical and valuable.
You Will Get A Lot of Use Out of This Book.......2002-04-19
The reference book that makes it all comes together. Ok so the book does not really bill its self as a dull reference book but it has all the info needed to understand who does what in the White House. The book is anything but dull, the author has broken down the different departments within the White House and explains each of them in just a wonderful, easy to understand manner. In order to stay away from just a dull listing of the tasks the author drops in interesting facts and stories from the last few administrations that bring extra meaning and understanding to the explanations.
A good, well-written book that will help the reader understand who does what in the White House.
A great book for the politically minded.......2001-09-19
I'd recommend this book to anyone who wants to find out what its really like to serve as a member of the White House staff as opposed to what may be portrayed on television. This book reveals that most staffers are hardly the fast-quipping, terminally righteous characters from The West Wing but are instead human beings attempting, like all of us, to do the best job possible and all the more admirable for it.
Anyway, this is one of the most detailed examinations of the Presidential staff that I've ever read. Each chapter is dedicated to a different part of the White House staff and basically gives a detailed job description which makes clear their sometimes murky duties. Even such often-ignored folks like the White House kitchen staff get notice of their own. Overall, one comes away with a real appreciation for the hundreds of individuals who contribute to keeping this country moving forward. Also filled with anecdotes (many of which I hadn't come across before), this book should definitely be of interest to anyone who follows politics.
Book Description
As a black conservative, Ron Christie takes the road less traveled and often takes heat for it from the liberal black establishment. His insider accounts of his time working for both President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney offers a view into the world of policymaking at this White House at the highest levels. It also provides a refreshingly candid and positive portrayal of these two men who are so often vilified by partisan opponents and the media. A must-read for those who want to go inside George W. Bush's West Wing.

Awesome perspective.......2007-09-21
"Pulling into the lot behind the Transition Headquarters, I was startled to see several black SUVs parked with their motors running and earnest looking men peering out the open windows - my introduction to the United States Secret Service. My first glimpse of the Secret Service agents drove home the point that I was about to embark on a journey that, if successful, would put me in close proximity to some of the most powerful and important people in the world. Great, I thought, no pressure at all."
Thus began Ron Christie's interview process for a position as a Deputy Assistant for domestic policy to Vice President-Elect Cheney. Throughout his page-turning book, Black in the White House, he weaves stories together from his three and one half year tenure in the White House that make it read more like a novel than a narrative. He provides a unique view of the Vice President, President and their respective staffs that is seldom, if ever, reported by the media. This book paints a portrait that reveals the true personalities of the leaders of the United States and the tremendous responsibilities they have.
Although sometimes sophomoric, maudlin and perhaps even pandering, Christie tells his stories as if he were a child marveling in awe at the world's leaders for whom he was asked to work instead of as a trained attorney who had important work to do. As a Deputy Policy Advisor to Senator George Allen (son of Redskin's coach Allen) for eight years, he was asked by the Republican Committee in December of 2000 to be an observer of the Presidential recount vote in Jacksonville, Florida. Shortly after flying to Florida, the Supreme Court ruled in George Bush's favor, George Bush became Presidential-Elect Bush and Ron Christie was asked to interview as a Deputy Assistant for domestic policy for Vice President-Elect Cheney.
During the waiting process after his interview, Christie candidly reveals his feelings of nervousness and uncertainty regarding his appointment. Waiting for the phone to ring, not sleeping at night, unable to think lucidly, he is no more than an average person waiting to hear the decision about their interview. Throughout the book he demonstrates his role as a normal person who is honored to serve the Vice President, President and his country by easily blending his responsibilities with his humbleness. He also makes it clear that the principals of President Bush's transition team (who would later become the cabinet and advisors after the inauguration) are extremely intelligent individuals who espouse a tremendous work ethnic in serving the Vice-President and President. Concurrently he also divulges their human and compassionate sides that few are privileged to see.
Christie worked intimately with Vice President Cheney's staff including Chief of Staff Scooter Libby, Dan McGrath, Mary Matalin and even Vice President Cheney himself. He tells tales of their dedication, character and wit. In one instance Christie was asked to attend a meeting with Vice President Cheney and noted historian Stephen Ambrose, who
was attempting to restore the Missouri River to resemble its appearance in time to celebrate the bicentennial of Lewis and Clark's expedition. Ambrose indicated that his plan to dam the river was supported in Missouri and in several states downstream. Christie knew that Ambrose's assertion was erroneous and the Vice President, always with razor sharp perception, realized that Christie was uncomfortable and asked him if he had any questions. Christie questioned Ambrose why the Missouri House of Representatives voted 138-0 to denounce the plans and why Governor Bob Holden joined several other governors to write a letter to President Bush voicing their opposition. Not accustomed to being questioned, Ambrose probably expected VP Cheney to chastise Christie. Instead, Cheney asked Christie to draft a letter to Ambrose in which the VP would "express his inability to advocate Ambrose' plan to President Bush".
September 11, 2001 was a day that most Americans will never forget. For Christie and the White House staff it was a day of horror. Not only was the horror expressed for the victims in the World Trade Center and the Pentagon but it also extended to the White House staff that was literally in the direct line of fire. After it was clear that the crashes were an attack and not an accident, the White House staff was immediately escorted out of the building by the Secret Service and told to leave. Unfortunately most of them could not return to their homes since Washington was in pandemonium and all roads were completely blocked; many stayed at friends within the city. Two days later when it was safe to enter the White House the horror was repeated when they again had to be evacuated, this time due to a bomb scare. In essence, the security and comfort that was indicative of the White House had been indelibly shattered. Although terrified to return to the White House, the staff was reminded by Andy Card that they represented the President and now was the time to fight back by going about their business and not being intimidated by fear. Indeed, the urgency at hand changed the course of President Bush's presidency. Christie relates how difficult it was for all the members of the White House to continue to run the country.
In early 2002 Christie was asked to be the Special Assistant to the President to help run the USA Freedom Corps. Although honored to work directly for the President, Christie was torn by the thought of accepting the offer due to his loyalty to Vice President Cheney and also to his aversion of governmental programs, particularly those initiated by former President Clinton. However, after numerous discussions with the staffs of both the Vice President and the President, he learned that the President was a genuine supporter of the volunteerism movement in America after 9/11 and wanted to capitalize on the spirit running through the country during that time. He therefore accepted the commission. Thus began his association with the President of the United States. From Christie's vantage point, in opposition to the media, he saw the President as the leader of staff meetings who utilized the expertise of his cabinet, including the Vice President, for advice. The bottom line was that President Bush was the man in charge of the White House, not Vice President Cheney or anyone else. Period.
Christie did not turn his back on his black heritage and in fact almost resigned due to an incident by Mississippi Senator Trent Lott during Thanksgiving in 2002. While Christie was at his brother's home, Senator Lott was featured on CNN at Senator Strom Thurmond's one-hundredth birthday party. Lott was recalling Thurmond's unsuccessful bid for the presidency in 1948 and lamented that Mississippi, which was opposed to integration, was only one of four states that supported him. Lott went on to say, "We're proud of it. And if the rest of the country followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years, either". Christie and his family were stunned. During the next few days in which the White House said nothing, Christie's parents asked him how could he work at the White House for a man who had refused to repudiate Lott's statement. Christie, wrestling with his admiration for President Bush and his agenda, could not sit by silently. Knowing it could cost him his job, he wrote a note to Andy Card expressing his dismay that the comment was not rebuked by the White House. Card, the Chief of Staff to President Bush and known in the White House for both his intense intelligence and hilarious practical jokes, invited Christie to a private meeting to discuss the relationship between blacks and the Republican Party. When asked to present his thoughts, Christie proposed that Republicans "should not be traveling to black neighborhoods and talking about crime, welfare reform and drugs" but should talk about "tax reform, school choice and home ownership". Rather that "bringing in the gospel choir to sing and sway in the East Wing during Black History month can't we do more than pander to those folks who then start criticizing us the second they leave the building"? Christie suggested that the President "should visit with small business leaders, doctors and investors who support his vision and happen to be black". Andy Card, displaying his honesty and sincerity, became an active participant and devoted significant amounts of his time to find ways in which the President's agenda could resonate with those who were skeptical about his policies.
Black in the White House made me feel that I was actually observing the leaders of the country on a personal level without the critical remonstrations of the media promoting their anti-Bush rhetoric. I was able to see, through Christie's eyes, the leaders in President Bush's cabinet as thoughtful, intelligent and sincere individuals who are honored to spend a few years of their lives dedicated to the President and the country. Although not intended to be an historical document, the book represents a view of the White House and the Presidency that is seldom revealed. It was refreshing to observe the White House from the perspective of someone who loves to be there rather than from someone who is there to condemn it.
Loved this book!.......2007-08-29
This book is one of my favorites. Ron Christie's persective of the White House workings kept my attention from cover to cover. I have to tell you...his thoughts on some things made me laugh out loud and others made me cry. Thank you for the book Mr. Christie--and you are definitely not a "wart on history's nose". :-)
Where did they find this guy?!.......2006-08-19
I suppose that if you are a guileless, hard-core reactionary, then you'll really love Ron Christie's no-fault treatise on everything good about W's Whitehouse.
While I am an AA (African-American) with moderate political views, there is something simultaneously self-satisfied and self-hating about Mr. Christie's over-the-top conservative tome in which he anecdotes countless situations in which he is the only person of color in the room (one would not count Conde Rice). Here he finds few faults with the Bush administration while describing his Horatio Algers' climb to middle management in the Republican Guard.
He breathlessly reports of his adventures in becoming one of the youngest African Americans to navigate his way into the echelons of republican politics, without any self-acknowledgment that he may, in fact, just be a "token".
I'd say it was an interesting read if you want to understand how the Republican Party simultaneously manages to find no real value in diversity, while exploiting - in a nominal way - the value of having a symbolic representative.
This is a smug account of his interactions with politicos in the West Wing and it reads like a report on "What I Did Over my Summer Vacation".
Thoroughly unsatisfying for the political junkie.......2006-04-12
If you are looking for the proverbial "fly on the wall" perspective of the White House, this might fit the bill nicely. Christie gives a very...accessible account of what it's like to work for the President. Unfortunately, Christie's experiences (as he presents them anyway) come across as though he had about as much impact on meaningful policy as a real fly on the wall. Certain passages made me cringe as the author described being nearly paralyzed with awe every time he met high profile people for the first time.
I surely hope this was an editing error that slipped through but on page 233 Christie describes Karl Rove as being "thought by many to be the most powerful man in the White House other than the VP". If that was supposed to be a dig at Bush it's pretty unbecoming considering the way Christie fawns over W through the rest of the book. I STRONGLY suspect a junior proof-reader at publisher Nelson Current let her political views enter into her work and introduced the error as a prank. Pretty funny.
I wouldn't recommend this for those learning about politics, government and the executive branch either. It is too lean on how various departments and individuals work together to implement policy. Also lacking is any insight on how one gets to such a position.
Disappointing.......2006-04-09
I read Ron Christie's new book as I was looking to find some insight into how the Bush White House works. Having seen the author on a number of tv programs he comes across as earnest, forthright and dedicated to the conservative cause. Unfortunately, he hasn't been in the top echelon of decision-making to warrant a good book. It's too low-level.
I wish Mr. Christie well.....there's nothing more in his book that we already know, would care to know or will find out sooner or later.

Customer Reviews:
There's more info on the cover than in the book.......2002-06-26
Hey! If you can't get interviews with anyone who makes the show, just phone some fans and tape the conversation! There's a little more to this than that but you'll learn nothing from the book that you didn't know and while it eulogises The West Wing it oddly makes you think less of the show. It's just padding filler of no lasting consequence at all. But, hey, apart from that, it's fine.
Don't waste your money.......2002-02-16
I am a hardcore fan, but this book was a major disappointment and I must echo the reviews of those who have written them before me. The episode recaps were worthless and the photos uninspired. There's a much better book (an understatement, to say the least) out there on this wonderful show. Save your money and buy it instead.
The Outside of The West Wing.......2002-01-07
I have seen every episode(most, more than once). I am 15 years old. When I recieved this book, it didn't tell me anything I didn't already know about the West Wing. A synopsis of the episodes and biographies on the gifted actors and actresses who star in the show. Anyone who would buy this book, has to be a fan of the award-winning Wednsday night drama, and honestly, if you are that much of a fan of the show, you don't need the book.
Nothing the fanatics don't know.......2002-01-05
If you are a major West Wing fan, this book is NOT for you. There is nothing in here the dedicated fans and internet users do not already know! This is just a book of facts - and many wrong ones at that - and older photos. Nothing new in these pages!
If you are a new viewer to West Wing and want to catch up, I might recommend this book. However, all of the information here - and thensome - is available on the internet for free.
Don't get too excited..........2002-01-02
As a political science student and someone who appreciates "smart TV", my first clue that this book was going to disappoint me was the title. "An unauthorized look..." and so on. Clearly someone did not want him to write this book, or he would have been given authority.
There are so many mistakes in this book, that even the casual viewer could pick up on them. The ones that disappointed me the most were the ones in the episode guides.
I have been watching since the beginning of the second season, but have had help from people on message boards to catch up. Even with my "limited" knowledge... I picked up on a lot. In the synopsis of "In the Shadow of Two Gunmen" part 2, he says that Donna walked into the White House and hired herself without even being cleared by security. Maybe Challen wouldn't be so confused about security if he had correctly sited that Donna hired herself as Josh's assistant BEFORE Bartlet was elected!
This book appears to be thrown together by a casual fan. Next time someone wants to publish an "unauthorized" book... consult the hardcore fans... we know more.

Interesting Look at the Show, But Somewhat Flawed.......2004-04-25
I was so excited to find this book and I often read the chapters on each episode just after seeing the episode on DVD. A lot of the sections are interesting, background summaries on the characters, favorite quotes and moments, topics covered in the particular episode, but there are a couple of things I'm not quite happy with. This mainly focuses on the mistake section cleverly entitled "Logic, Let Me Introduce You to This Window." The section is usually correct, but several times, "flaws" are called into question that aren't really flaws. I'll just give a couple of examples: the book might mention a country or something that is not real, such as the Reykjavik Sympony Orchestra in Episode 31. Well, this is a make-believe world and the book also mentions that fact. Not everything here matches the real world, so we can't say it is a "mistake". Another example is when the book notes that Toby (a Jew) has a Christmas card on his wall. Just because you are Jewish doesn't mean someone won't send you a Christmas or Holiday card (particularly if you work at the White House).
For fans only...........2003-06-20
This is a guide book to the hit show the West Wing. It was written by Keith Topping who has authored several other show guides including Buffy, Angel and Roswell. This covers seasons 1-3 of the show.
I like this book and the author's style of writing. It does not contain in depth episode synopsis or analysis so those looking for that would have to look elsewhere. This book is meant for those who have seen the episodes and want more in depth knowledge. It covers
**cast/ brief bios
**episode list
**episode analysis which includes in its section
------american history
------political references
------donna comments
------logic problems (continuity errors)
------quotes
**a very brief internet intro to west wing
All in all, this book is fun for fans and those familiar with the episodes. It did not have any pictures which I felt was a lack and the reason it drops a star. Overall a worthwhile purchase
See previous review.......2003-03-29
I refer the hono[u]rable reader to the review I gave awhile ago.
Interesting companion volume to the Script Book.......2003-03-27
This companion to the hugely popular television show provides good context and background for viewers (like me) of the show. It would have gotten five stars, but there is more focus on the actors' histories, and some details were left out, otherwise, not bad. I'd recommend the "script" book and the larger West Wing book. The lines in "A Proportional Response", ironically, apply to the current situation in Iraq. Check out the lines: "...death of an American, any American, and we come back with total disaster..." and you'll see what I mean.
West Wing fan? Buy this..........2002-11-14
Bringing the same nitpicking skill and attention to detail Mr. Topping has used in writing episode guides for cult hit favourites Buffy, Angel and Roswell, Inside Bartlet's White House: An Unauthorised and Unofficial Guide to The West Wing is a superb book that deals with every aspect of the show, from the real-life politics that it deals with, to the little continuity errors that inevitably creep in to any series (as well as a few horrible clangers).
