This unique perspective on the White House, one of the most readily
identifiable structures in the world, brings together the views of
librarians, journalists, political advisers, attorneys,
researchers, and professors. Filled with anecdotes, little-known
facts, and scholarly analysis, the book shows how "The People's
House" has been shaped and molded both architecturally and
philosophically by the different administrations over the past 200
years. Erudite and entertaining, "Life in the White House looks at
the social history of the first family, the creation of the
president's home, and efforts by first families to carve out a
space for the important business of family, while preserving the
history of their famous residence. This public museum and private
residence, which began as the result of a $500 Jefferson-era
architectural design contest, now symbolizes one of the world's
great superpowers.
