WHAT'S NEXT: A CITIZEN'S GUIDE TO THE WEST WING by series actors Melissa Fitzgerald and Mary McCormack is a comprehensive guide to the beloved global smash hit series, from two of the show's inner circle. Written with the active support and participation of much of the cast (who have agreed to interviews for the book as well the use of their personal photos) this is a book that is in one sense timeless, yet in another also very much of the moment. With further global political turmoil surely lying ahead, there has never been a better time for a book on the idealism of leadership and public service.
With warm, funny and inspirational stories from the set we hear about a cast and crew that were run like a family, with patriarch Martin Sheen at its head. A world in which Sheen, John Spencer and the other senior hands brought the values of the fictional Bartlet administration - respect, civility and trust - to life during the real-world production of the show. The result is a West Wing alumni that are still working together together in charitable pursuits at local, national and even global levels.
This book is both a West Wing fan's dream come true, and a family reunion for the people who made it possible.
