Why people recommend it
The Boys on the Bus by Timothy Crouse is a classic piece of journalistic non-fiction that chronicles the intense, camaraderie-filled experiences of the reporters who covered the 1972 United States presidential campaign. The book explores how the relationships between political candidates, their aides, and the press corps fundamentally transformed political reporting. It remains a key reference point for understanding modern media culture. On Pod Save America, Dan Pfeiffer recommended the book during a mailbag episode, explaining that Crouse's work helps modern audiences understand how political campaigns began to be covered like competitive sporting events over the decades. Amy Chozick also discussed the book on The Book Review while chatting with the host about older reporting traditions and her own book Chasing Hillary. Chozick noted how Crouse's classic account illustrates the unique camaraderie and proximity that once existed between reporters and political candidates, a dynamic that has radically changed over time. Together, these podcast segments demonstrated the enduring relevance of Crouse's reporting, using it to illuminate the deep historical roots of contemporary media habits, campaign journalism, and the evolving relationship between the press and political power.
