The 2008 presidential election was arguably the most controversial and hotly contested election in American history. The culture was irrevocably changed, a new American dream was created and the face of that dream was given a new color. In Game Change, authors John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, two of America’s top political reporters, examine the campaigns of Barack Obama, John McCain, Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin, delving deep into the inner workings of each candidate’s campaign to reveal the truth of what really happened behind closed doors in this historic election. This candid, detailed and, at times, humorous account is a must-read and a literary delight. –nicholas robinson
