The Situation Room: The Inside Story of Presidents in Crisis is a #1 New York Times bestselling hardcover by George Stephanopoulos, co-written with Lisa Dickey and published by Grand Central Publishing (Hachette Book Group) in May 2024. The book is 368 pages and retails for $35.00 USD.

Stephanopoulos, a longtime ABC News anchor and former senior advisor to President Clinton, draws on exclusive interviews and newly declassified materials to tell the definitive history of the White House Situation Room — the most secretive and consequential room in American government. Created by President Kennedy after the Bay of Pigs disaster, the Sit Room has served as the nerve center for crisis decision-making across twelve presidential administrations from Kennedy through Biden.

The book takes readers inside defining moments in modern American history: the aftermath of the Kennedy and Reagan assassination attempts, Nixon's nuclear alert during the Saturday Night Massacre, the failed 1979 Iran hostage rescue mission, the September 11 attacks, the Navy SEAL raid that killed Osama bin Laden, and the events of January 6th. Each chapter illuminates how presidents and their teams respond when the stakes could not be higher.
