"Mr. Troy’s book, at once a serious history of executive-branch policymaking and a droll chronicle of White House bickering and backstabbing." @WSJ’s Barton Swaim puts “Fight House” on his WSJ’s best political books of 2020 list.

In a year overwhelmed with political news, these books made an impact that will outlast the headlines.

“‘The job is representing the views of the Jews to the #WhiteHouse & representing the views of the White House to the Jews,’ said Troy, author of @FightHouse2020, a book about rivalries at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.” @JacobKornbluh on @ChananWeissman

The White House’s “top-down management style has sometimes muddled efficiency, with aides complaining that the upper echelons of power demand the most basic of decisions go through them...“ Helpful @dlippman piece for future editions of @FightHouse2020.

100 days into the Biden administration, the White House is a tight ship run by a cadre of longtime Biden loyalists.

“No one should be surprised that infighting in the Biden White House has commenced. Certainly, no one who has read @TeviTroy’s @FightHouse2020, a history of White House infighting, will be.” Paul Mirengoff, @pline2021

Tevi Troy “wrote this page-turner a year ago—& I couldn’t put it down... #FightHouse, unfortunately for the American people, is more descriptive than #WhiteHouse... It’s sad, really—but very juicy reading.” @JohnWPearson on @FightHouse2020
