Why people recommend it

No Going Back by Kristi Noem is a political memoir and press tour artifact that generated widespread controversy and severe public backlash due to admissions regarding the author's past actions. The host of Pod Save America and Tommy Vietor repeatedly mocked the publication and its author during a defensive media rollout, highlighting how a shocking anecdote about killing a dog became one of the most politically damaging stories ever published by a politician. The podcast hosts noted that the controversial story was deliberately included in the memoir to preempt political opponents, even as it ultimately derailed her prospects for higher national office. Similarly, Tim Pool and his panel on Timcast IRL discussed the sensational pre-orders and media furor surrounding the damaging disclosures. Across these various political commentary shows, speakers analyzed the disastrous public relations strategy accompanying the book's release, emphasizing how the author's own candid admissions created an insurmountable obstacle for her political career and transformed her promotional tour into a cautionary tale of modern political self-sabotage.

“I think I've talked extensively in this book about my time serving in Congress, my time as governor before governor, some of the travels that I've had. Um, I'm not going to talk about my specific meetings with world leaders.”

“If you want more real, honest, and politically incorrect stories that'll have the media gasping, pre-order No Going Back.”
