Product description

Review

The most exciting political book of recent years. Election reporting will never be the same again -- Andrew Adonis ― News Statesman, Books of the Year

Welcome to the meat-grinder, flash-incinerator race to be the 44th President of the United States

― The Times

Incendiary, intriguing, nuanced, compelling. A fantastically detailed and gossipy affair -- Gaby Wood ― Observer

A spicy smorgasbord of observations, revelations and allegation. Leaves the reader with a vivid, visceral sense of the campaign and a keen understanding of the paradoxes and contingencies of history -- Michiko Kakutani ― New York Times

Consistently fascinating... every bit as good as Theordore White's The Making of a President -- Anthony Howard ― Daily Telegraph

Astounding, astonishing. Sleazy, personal, intrusive, shocking - and terribly compulsive. A thoroughly researched, well-paced and very amusing read. High-quality political porn ― Economist

The best account of the triumph of 2008 -- Jonathan Powell ― New Statesman, Books of the Year

Great fun to read. A wealth of insight. Real fly-on-the-wall journalism, where the authors claim to know not just what people said, but what they were thinking

-- Andy McSmith ― Independent

Compulsively readable. You can't put it down

― Los Angeles Times
