For generations, U.S. presidents in crisis have repaired to the Situation Room with their advisers. In his new book, aptly titled "The Situation Room," TV host and former White House communications director George Stephanopoulos looks at the dilemmas America’s past leaders have reckoned with in that space. He tells Walter Isaacson all about them.

Thanks, Mr. Stephanopoulos. As a former Republican who was not at all pleased with Pres. Clinton (the differences seem pretty trivial now). You are one of the very few reporters who have started to learn to deal with Trump's collaborators/enablers/sycophants. Please teach all your colleagues.

I agree. George’s reporting during this time is one of the few bright spots in holding power to account.

No one is going to save us, so we need to get out there and vote BLUE in massive numbers to defeat the domestic terrorists trying to ruin us. We need to save ourselves!

This book is unique because the Situation room is the nerve center of our government. It is readable, empirical, and genius.

Pres. Johnson’s obsession with collecting information to solve problems reminds me of Charles Darwin vs Alexander Agassiz, both trying to figure out how reefs form. Agassiz spent decades sailing thousands of miles just collecting more and more data…filled three huge volumes (which he destroyed in despair, or somehow lost, right before his death) without answering the question, Whereas Darwin thought about the question, made an intuitive guess and a couple of sketches on a piece of paper, and came up with a hypothesis, which proved to be correct. Very interesting interview. Thank you!

Went to his event at 92NY and bought his book and about halfway thru. Unfortunately his talking points for all his shows are basically the beginning and end of the book. It's much drier than I had hoped.

George did a horrible journalistic job in the Bush years. He pandered shamelessly to the right-wing. George Will was on his show all the time, and they would laugh like college sophomores at Katrina Vanden Heuvel (representing the left). George was the face of dysfunctional journalism, in my opinion.
