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

4.0

This book is fascinating from start to finish, but no one is left unscathed. George Washington would spin in his grave to learn about the antics of not just our modern-day politicians but their spouses and handlers as well. There is no one to admire and not a statesman among them. It solidifies the notion that the American people are merely a pawn in a huge political game. And what the book truly brings to light—unintentionally perhaps—is how complicit the press has become. They are fully aware of the tomfoolery, lying, infidelity and double-dealing that occurs in Washington, but they are too busy playing the game themselves to report it. Or, in the case of these authors, they hoard the information for a tell-all book.
