Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin

 
Is this another view from the front row?

Just when we thought the 2008 presidential race was behind us, Heilemann and Halperin take us even deeper into the campaigns of the principal contenders for the White House and the gut concerns of their chief strategists, donors and advisors.

Game change offers a glimpse behind the campaign veil…explosive…definitely controversial and sure to strain some relationships.

A reportorial tour de force that is hard to set aside.

John Heilemann is an award-winning journalist and the national political correspondent and columnist for New York magazine; a former staff writer for The New Yorker, Wired, and The Economist.

Mark Halperin is an author, editor-at-large and senior political analyst for Time magazine. He has covered six presidential elections, including during his decade as the political director for ABC News.
