***Warning! Do not confuse this book with GOING ROGUE: AN AMERICAN LIFE by Sarah Palin.***


“Sarah Palin’s clear goal is to put herself in the middle of the political debate as a serious person. This book is saying ‘GIMME A BREAK!’” --Star Jones, on The Insider (CBS)


“The only truthful and revealing Sarah Palin book on the market—accept no imitations!”

--Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine


“A superb collection . . . an engaging read from start to finish. . . . You will read far more about the real Sarah Palin in Going Rouge than you ever will in her own memoirs.”

— Geoffrey Dunn, The Huffington Post


ABOUT THE BOOK:

Sarah Palin has many faces: hockey mom, fundamentalist Christian, sex symbol, Republican ideologue, fashion icon, “maverick” populist. But, above all, Palin has become one thing: an American obsession that just won’t go away. Edited by two senior editors at The Nation magazine, this sharp, smart, up-to-the-minute book examines Palin’s obscure origins in Wasilla, Alaska, her spectacular rise to the effective leadership of the Republican Party, and the nightmarish prospect of her continuing to dominate the nation’s political scene.
