Obama’s Secret Wars, from The Situation Room to The Front

To be a fly on the wall in The White House Situation Room. To watch as President Obama and his  cabinet  await news on Osama Bin Laden’s compound raid, or plan “Olympic Games,” the code name given to an American cyber attack on Iranian nuclear facilities – an attack that went terribly wrong.  
David E. Sanger  chronicles  these events in his new book, “Confront and Conceal: Obama’s Secret Wars and Surprising Use of American Power.” Offering a behind-the-scenes peak at some of the most  concealed  moments of Obama’s presidency – those involving national security – Sanger reveals a complicated view of America’s president, one he says that is more hawkish than most Americans realize.
