About the AuthorJonathan Worth Daniels (April 26, 1902 – November 6, 1981) was an American writer, editor, and White House Press Secretary. He was a founding member of the Peabody Awards Board of Jurors, serving from 1940 until 1950. For most of his life, he worked at The News & Observer, and later founded The Island Packet.
After World War II began, Daniels went into government service, first as assistant director of the Office of Civilian Defense and later as one of six administrative assistants for President Franklin D. Roosevelt (who had worked under Josephus Daniels during World War I). In March 1945, less than one month before his death, Roosevelt named Daniels his press secretary, and he continued in the position temporarily under President Harry S. Truman. Daniels\' 47-day term serving as White House Press Secretary was the shortest of any White House Press Secretary until that of Jerald Horst, who was Gerald Ford\'s first Press Secretary for 31 days.
Life on the Potomac was published one year after Daniels\' death. In it, Daniels portrays the human-side of Washington DC politics and the people that made up and ran the U.S. Government, personalizing them for all to see. The book is in great condition and somewhat scarce and therefore has been priced accordingly.
