Summary:

'The Sit Room' brings you into the secretive Situation Room of the White House, the most important deliberative room in the world, during the early 1990s when the author was one of the policymakers who framed the Clinton administration's policy toward the bloody Balkans War. With newly declassified documents and his own notes to draw upon, David Scheffer, who later became America's first Ambassador at Large for War Crimes Issues, weaves the true story of how policy options were debated in the Situation Room among the highest national security officials.
