The presidential retreat, Camp David, has become synonymous with the US image of political power at its highest level. Nelson offers a glimpse into the place and the men who spent time there from Roosevelt to Bush, detailing ephemera and gossip as well as more significant events such as meetings between Kennedy and Eisenhower after the Bay of Pigs, and Carter's sponsoring of negotiations between Begin and Sadat. Includes photographs to round out a wealth of interesting historical research. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
