It’s the place where Presidents made their highest-pressure decisions. Created under President Kennedy, the Situation Room has been the epicenter of crisis management for presidents for more than six decades. Time and again, the decisions made there affect the lives of every person on this planet — from close calls with disaster narrowly averted to dramatic turning points in a dozen presidential administrations.

Join the anchor of ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos and co-anchor of ABC’s Good Morning America with The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman for a unique perspective on the history of the Situation Room — and George’s new book The Situation Room: The Inside Story of Presidents in Crisis. Offering for an inside look at the crises that decided the course of history — from the days when Presidents Kennedy and Reagan were shot to the harrowing hours after the 9/11 attack, from new details from Obama administration officials leading up to the raid on Osama Bin Laden to a first-ever account from White House staff on January 6 — get an insider’s look at the definitive moments in American history when Presidents’ legacies are made … or destroyed.
