Presidential Frontiers
I could read books upon books about the 2008 US Presidential Election. Two boundary breaking candidacies for the United States, wanting to succeed an incredibly unpopular President burdened with two wars and a recession. Having read Game Change by Heilemann and Halperins I was looking for a book that could rival theirs and this met the match.
A journalists book rather than a historian so it is a detailed account instead of an analysis but there isn't anything wrong with that. As someone who was too young to appreciate how uplifting the Obama campaign was, especially in the time of Trump, reading this was almost some form of political escapism.
