Why people recommend it
Game Change by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin is an explosive journalistic account that chronicles the dramatic behind-the-scenes machinations and intense personal rivalries of the historic 2008 United States presidential election. The book was discussed on The Book Review in July 2024. During an episode titled David Sedaris on a Career-Spanning Collection, author David Sedaris recommended the bestseller, sharing that he was actively reading it for the first time despite having missed its initial cultural phenomenon when it first arrived on bookshelves. Later in the same podcast series, during an episode titled Jill Abramson on the 2016 Presidential Campaign, former guest Jill Abramson brought up Game Change as a prominent historical example of a highly successful campaign book. Abramson noted that the volume was filled with incredible insider details and political gossip that contemporary readers and political junkies eagerly consumed. Both speakers underscored the enduring appeal of the book's fast-paced narrative style and its ability to capture the chaotic, high-stakes environment of modern American presidential politics, cementing its status as a quintessential piece of contemporary political journalism.
