**The gripping inside story of the 2008 presidential election, by two of the best political reporters in the country.** **“It’s one of the best books on politics of any kind I’ve read. For entertainment value, I put it up there with *Catch 22 *.” —* The Financial Times*** **“It transports you to a parallel universe in which everything in the *National Enquirer *is true….More interesting is what we learn about the candidates themselves: their frailties, egos and almost super-human stamina.” —* The Financial Times*** **“I can’t put down this book!” —Stephen Colbert** *Game Change* is the *New York Times* bestselling story of the 2008 presidential election, by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, two of the best political reporters in the country. In the spirit of Richard Ben Cramer’s *What It Takes* and Theodore H. White’s *The Making of the President 1960* , this classic campaign trail book tells the defining story of a new era in American politics, going deeper behind the scenes of the Obama/Biden and McCain/Palin campaigns than any other account of the historic 2008 election.
