Book Presentation: Taking Heat by Ari Fleischer
Book Abstract
The president’s press secretary is an eyewitness to history and Ari Fleischer, as President George W. Bush’s spokesperson from 2001-2003, played an important role in the Bush Administration during some of the most significant moments in American history. Except for National Security and CIA briefings, Fleischer attended cabinet meetings, traveled aboard Air Force One and met with president and his top advisors in the Oval Office throughout most of Bush’s first term.
In Taking Heat, Fleischer offers an insider’s perspective on the 2000 Election recounts, the horrific terror attacks of September 11th 2001, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and how the White Houses press corps works.

Prior to serving as the White House’s liaison to the press, Fleischer served as press secretary for three members of Congress and was the communications director for Elizabeth Dole during her presidential campaign. Taking Heat is Fleischer’s first book. He lives in New York State with his wife and daughter.
Summary of Taking Heat (Ari Fleischer)
The Winds of War
The press serves an enormously useful function in our democracy, informing citizens about important news and the working of our government, while also serving as an important check on government behavior. However, members of the press are fiercely competitive and the desire to lead with a dramatic story often encourages reporters to look for ways to generate conflict, stir up trouble or rush a story out before all the facts can be checked.
All this puts the president’s press secretary in a difficult position; he or she is paid to be the president’s spokesperson, but he or she also has an obligation to the American people to cooperate with the press so that the public can stay informed. Working for the president and with the press is a delicate balance and it is critical that the press secretary reports the news rather than make it.
