Query: Interesting insider info, but lacking in coherent structure

This is a history book. Do not kid yourself into thinking that it has value as political science. Kurtz presents an entire string of some interesting (plus some disturbing) anecdotes about modern relations between the press and the White House, but he culminates in no particular point. It just ends up being a timeline of the president and the press bickering . . . for 300+ pages! The lack of guiding thesis leaves the reader with an impression of sorts, but any point that Kurtz tried to make ends up being too elusive and intangible. The best use I can see for this book is to inform a hermit as to what went on in presidential politics from 92-98, other than that, its just more gossip.
