Book News Annotation:
A narrative account of the controversial presidential election of
2000 as it played itself out in the strategy sessions of Al Gore and
George Bush, among the canvassing boards, and in the courts of
Florida and the United States. Based on interviews with a number of
the key players, the writers follow the story from the first hints on
election night that something in Florida had gone awry to the
concession speech of Al Gore on December 13.

Synopsis:
The Washington Post, America's premier newspaper for politics and elections, has been in the forefront of the post-election coverage, and in this book its award-winning staff provides the first full-length account of the closest and strangest election in our history — from the last frantic days of campaigning to the networks' premature election-night projections; from the "butterfly ballot" to the manual recounts; from the first legal challenges to the final adjudication. The Post has offered unsurpassed coverage of the events that transfixed the nation and the world, and now its all-star team of reporters has produced a page-turner to rival the best political thrillers.
Deadlock is a wholly original work of history-in-the-making, written by David Von Drehle and Ellen Nakashima, two of the paper's most accomplished political writers, drawing on the reporting of over two dozen top reporters and columnists in Washington, Florida, and Texas
