Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Since 1984, Newsweek has been renowned for its vivid, in-depth special election coverage of the ordeal of running for the presidency. A year before the election, Newsweek assigns reporters to get inside the campaigns of the Republican and Democratic candidates. Newsweek promises not to publish any information until after the votes are cast, and in exchange, the reporters receive remarkable access. They travel with the candidates, are there at crucial turning points and confidential meetings, and uncover stories not covered in day-to-day reporting. In this book, a compelling narrative by Evan Thomas, Newsweek shares the inside stories from one of the most exciting elections in recent history, illuminating the personalities and events that influenced the outcome, and taking stock of the key players and key issues for the new administration. This will be an absorbing read for anyone interested in American politics. Book News Annotation:Thomas, an editor at Newsweek, traces the campaign and election of
President Barack Obama, based on reports by Newsweek campaign
journalists. He describes the rise of Obama, his rivalry with Hillary
Clinton, the comeback of John McCain and his choice of Sarah Palin as
a running mate, and Obama's path to winning the election. He offers
inside stories behind the 2008 election, an epilogue on the shaping
of the Obama administration, and an interview from May 2008.
