White House Special Handbook, or How to Rule the World in the 21st Century

Here is the book that guides the President of the United States from the first day in the Oval Office to the day he (or she?) walks out for the last time. In fact, the strategies and mindset recommended in these pages are essential tools for capturing the Presidency as much as wielding it.

The international scene today is either a madhouse or the product of extraordinarily cynical techniques such as these, applied with cold cunning, by our nation's leaders. This manual outlines some of the resources, strategies, and mechanisms at their disposal, and some of the concerns and countervailing concerns that the Commander-in-chief needs to have in mind.

This handbook provides a comparison of the world's premier intelligence agencies, discusses tactics of surveillance, war, and public persuasion, and gives practical advice on political maneuvering at the local, national and international levels. A rational, results-based handbook, it is destined to be a secret favorite of politicians, agents of the special services, CEOs and corporate boards, and everyone else who needs to be "ready to lead." And for the many other ambitious contenders in the world of winner-take-all bare-knuckles capitalism.

The author, who cites decades of insider knowledge at both the KGB and the CIA, says he originally compiled this book upon a request from Washington - anonymous, of course.
