Sarah Palin is still the most dynamic yet polarizing Republican in America. In Sarah from Alaska Scott Conroy and Shushannah Walshe draw on their experiences as embedded reporters on Palins campaign, exclusive on-scene coverage of Palins post-election struggles in Alaska, and revealing interviews with former McCain/Palin staffers, top political minds, and Palins family, friends, and foes in Alaska to tell the remarkable behind-the-scenes story of her improbable riseand its complicated aftermath. The result is a fair and fascinating portrait of Sarah Palin and of the American political process.
