When Political Stagecraft Goes Awry, an Inside Look at Campaign Spectacle

From Michael Dukakis' tank ride, to Howard Dean's scream, former political "advance man" Josh King has seen it all. He spent years working as an operative who coordinates political TV and photo ops. He was a former director of production for presidential events at the White House and the co-creator and former host of PoliOptics, the weekly SiriusXM Satellite Radio show which was broadcast on the POTUS Channel from 2011 to 2014. In Off Script: An Advance Man's Guide to White House Stagecraft, Campaign Spectacle, and Political Suicide, King takes us inside the world of cultivated political personas and details of some of the most catastrophic examples of political theater seen in recent years.
