The Audacity to Win

Praise

“…engaging, detailed and frequently illuminating account of the Obama presidential campaign…”
–Miami Herald

“…a gripping blockbuster of a book, manna for political aficianados and newcomers to elections alike, full of scrappy details, minute explanations of strategy, tales from the trail and candid assessments of mistakes made and lessons learned.”
–Daily Kos

“After reading Plouffe’s engaging, detailed and frequently illuminating account of the Obama presidential campaign, one can see how the campaign was lucky and good– indeed, often very, very good.”
–San Francisco Chronicle

“[Plouffe] gives readers a visceral sense of the campaign from an insider’s point of view…He offers acute assessments of the larger dynamics at play in the 2008 race, and he is frank about missteps that the Obama campaign made along the way…A detailed and revealing account.”
–Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

“Plouffe has written the most important political book of the year. It reads like a thriller…I flipped it open, read a few lines and was hooked…But it’s not the insider look at the past that makes the book so important. It’s what it shows us about the present–and the effect it could have on the future.”
