About the Book

A year after her consequential, controversial vice-presidential campaign, Sarah Palin remains one of the most polarizing yet dynamic figures on the political scene. In "Sarah from Alaska," Scott Conroy and Shushannah Walshe draw on exclusive interviews with former McCain/Palin staffers, top political minds, friends and foes in Alaska to tell the remarkable behind-the-scenes story of Palin's 2008 campaign, which proved to be as dysfunctional as it was secretive. They explore how the campaign rippled unexpectedly in Republican circles and beyond; and highlight Palin's key endeavors, in her new role as America's new superstar governor, to apply the lessons of her triumphs and missteps to build a vibrant political future.

Whatever you think of her, Sarah Palin is here to stay. "Sarah from Alaska" is a clear-eyed, fair and fun look at a pivotal campaign in a historic election, and a forty-five-year-old politician with burning ambition and a political career still in its early stages.
