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

Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, 448 pgs., Politics.
A behind-the-scenes, almost gossipy, look at the 2008 presidential election. It's a relatively quick, fun read and it is pretty evenhanded. It does frame the narrative showing how Obama prevailed on his merits and how McCain / Palin imploded, due in part, to their miscalculations and mistakes, so it may not be everyone's cup of tea.
