Chapter 15 Analysis

Like in the previous chapter, this chapter ties up some of the loose ends at the White House while leaving the reader in the dark about what happens to Burnham and Eva. The final thought offered by this chapter is that the President remains confident that Burnham did have the high level links that the President assumed he had. The White House continues to live under the impression that Burnham was important and connected when he never really was.
