More About This Book

Overview

"In "A Long Time Coming," written by Evan Thomas, Newsweek shares the inside stories from the epic 2008 election. This narrative charts the rise of Barack Obama, the comeback of John McCain, the long siege between Obama and Hillary Clinton, the explosive arrival of Sarah Palin, and Obama's final road to victory. It offers intimate portraits of Clinton, McCain, and Obama as they fight and survive, suffer through times of vexation and self-doubt, and quarrel with their families and advisers. It reveals the Clinton campaign's messy infighting. It details McCain's grudging decision to abandon his free-wheeling style in favor of a highly disciplined, press-averse campaigning strategy. And it shows how Obama transformed himself from the consummate outsider to the confident leader of the biggest, best-financed get-out-the-vote campaign in the history of American politics." With a new chapter on the shaping of the Obama administration, its key players, and its prospects, "A Long Time Coming" tells the rich and complex story behind the transformative election of 2008.

Editorial Reviews

Alan Brinkley
A perceptive, smoothly written and generally fair-minded account of both presidential campaigns…Newsweek makes a persuasive case both for the exceptional quality of the Obama campaign and for the ways in which it displayed skills that will be of value in the White House.
—The New York Times
