4.7/5

reader rating · 1,321 ratings

A New York Times bestseller that sold more than two million copies in the United States, Upstairs at the White House is the memoir of J. B. West, who served as Chief Usher of the White House for nearly three decades, offering a behind-the-scenes account of life at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue across five first families — from Eleanor Roosevelt to Pat Nixon — and illuminating the unelected, unpaid, but consequential roles the First Ladies played in shaping the presidency itself.
