Présentation de l'éditeur
First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton has worked to make the White House into a distinctly American showcase, featuring historically accurate renovations and acquisitions of important American art, celebrations of jazz and gospel music, and an expanded emphasis on American cuisine. The First Family's home has also become distinguished for the diversity of Americans honored there.
AN INVITATION TO THE WHITE HOUSE provides a special look at the White House. We'll see how the White House figures in the cultural and political life of the country as well as the life of the First Family, including a view of such events as a state dinner for the Emperor of Japan, a family birthday party, the Easter Egg Roll, and a private recital for President Clinton by a saxophone quartet. With more than 300 colour photographs, menus from state dinners and more than thrity recipes used in the White House kitchens, here is a glimpse of the day to day life behind the events that take place in our nation's collective home.
