Books by David Priess

A vivid political history of the manifold schemes, plots and conspiracies to remove unwanted presidents, from the founding fathers to the age of Trump.

Every president is offered a daily report-the President's Daily Brief, or PDB-detailing the most secret activities of the intelligence services and their analysis of global threats. This is the story of what presidents over the last half-century learned, from a CIA insider during the Clinton and Bush administrations.
