Chief White House Correspondent for The New York Times and MSNBC analyst. Proud husband of @sbg1 and father of @tab_delete. Paperback of "THE DIVIDER" out 9/19.

Recently finished the terrific new book by Susan Eisenhower (@eisenhowergroup) on her grandfather's presidency, "How Ike Led." A great primer for anyone looking ahead to a new administration and what lessons Eisenhower may have.

How Ike Led: The Principles Behind Eisenhower's Biggest Decisions

For those stuck at home, it can be a good time to catch up books. I usually flip back and forth among a whole pile on the nightstand but focusing now on "The Great Influenza" by @johnmbarry and Ron Chernow's "Washington." What are you reading?

The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History

What are you reading this summer? @sbg1 recommends "The Best and the Brightest," the David Halberstam classic on how the US stumbled into Vietnam. Other @NewYorker writers have some suggestions too. https://t.co/JqMgFIgIKW

The Best and the Brightest

Looking forward to reading “The Power of Crisis,” out today by @ianbremmer who looks at three looming crises — global health emergencies, climate change and the next technological revolution — and how the responses to them may actually make a better world. http://thepowerofcrisisbook.com/

The Power of Crisis: How Three Threats - And Our Response - Will Change the World

Recently read “Chaos Under Heaven” by @joshrogin and learned an awful lot. For anyone interested in the emerging conflict with China — and the emerging conflict *over* China — this book is a compelling and essential inside look.

Out today: "An Ordinary Man," by Richard Norton Smith, who does for Gerald Ford what David McCullough did for Harry Truman. Smith offers a thoughtful, textured reevaluation of an often-overlooked and underappreciated president.

The Land of Hope and Fear: Israel's Battle for Its Inner Soul

"There Is Nothing for You Here" by Fiona Hill is unlike any other Trump-era memoir -- it offers jaw-dropping details of life in that White House but also a deeper, thoughtful look at how the troubles of certain parts of the UK, US and Russia have shaped our current politics. https://t.co/SASBVlABH5

There Is Nothing for You Here: Finding Opportunity in the Twenty-First Century

Just read “Test Gods,” an engaging, evocative book on Virgin Galactic by the amazing @nickschmidle. About more than just space exploration, it is itself an exploration of the complicated relationships between fathers and sons.
