Kerri's book Pick of the Week is 'The Presidents Club.'

"It's the inside story of the rivalries and friendships between former presidents," Kerri said. "It's really good."

The Washington Post agrees and calls the book "a lively history:"

Sharing a unique bond based on their common (and uncommon) experience as leaders of the free world, all of our presidents have left the White House convinced that only they and their fellow occupants of that august office -- with its power, privileges and burdens -- can truly know what the job is like. That shared knowledge and experience have forged a special relationship among them that has helped them work together for what is deemed the common good.
