Description

This objective, well-researched biography tells the story of the woman whose meteoric rise to the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidacy made history. Sarah Palin: A Biography offers a candid yet unbiased look at the charismatic politician who became the first female nominee on a Republican national presidential ticket. Covering her early childhood, her high school and college years, her ascendancy from the two-term mayor of Wasilla to the Alaskan governorship, the 2008 McCain/Palin campaign, and her position as potential 2012 Republican party standard bearer, Sarah Palin looks at the crucial life experiences that brought Governor Palin to the forefront of American politics. Going beyond the caricatures and politically motivated portraits, it offers a compelling story of remarkable achievement over numerous obstacles, of a modern frontier woman whose politics reflect the unmistakable influences of family, faith, and hard work.
