Inside the Situation Room: George Stephanopoulos on Presidents in Crisis

For generations, U.S. presidents in crisis have repaired to the Situation Room with their advisers. In his new book, aptly titled "The Situation Room," TV host and former White House communications director George Stephanopoulos looks at the dilemmas America’s past leaders have reckoned with in that space. He tells Walter Isaacson all about them.
