In Game Change, John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, two of the country’s leading political reporters, use their unrivaled access to pull back the curtain on the Obama, Clinton, McCain, and Palin campaigns.

Based on hundreds of interviews with the people who lived the story, Game Change is a reportorial tour de force that reads like a fast-paced novel. Character-driven and dialogue-rich, replete with extravagantly detailed scenes, it’s an intimate portrait of some of the most powerful and fascinating figures in American life—the occasionally shocking, often hilarious, ultimately definitive account of the campaign of a lifetime.

    This book is a sinfully enjoyable examination of the candidates running for the US presidency in 2008. With their huge posse, mechanical performance, and scripted spews, it is often difficult to recall that politicians are human beings, like you and me. It is satisfying to know the context surrounding the note of anger, anxiety, despondency, or arrogance you detect in seconds of TV sound bites. The 2008 election was memorable for the high stakes and, probably more so, melodrama. I'm glad that there is a written chronicle of it for posterity.
