And may I especially recommend the wilderness which now you can listen to realizing that it has a pretty happy ending or at least a happy 2018 and more importantly some great lessons for Democrats in 2020 that they listen to in 2018.

Why people recommend it

The Wilderness by Liam OʼFlaherty is a political and historical account providing perspective on elections, political campaigns, and American governance. Tommy Vietor brought up the podcast and book project The Wilderness on Pod Save America to recommend it to listeners who were catching up on podcasts over the holidays. Vietor noted that people could listen to the book while realizing it featured a relatively happy ending or at least a positive 2018, and more importantly, it offered great lessons for Democrats looking ahead to the 2020 election cycle despite having been released in 2018. Later, Robert Evans brought up The Wilderness on Behind the Bastards while explaining that it provided background on Roland Story and the 2016 Republican primary. However, Evans also noted that the work had quickly become outdated, observing that the publication had appeared when the election first started in 2016. Despite its dated nature in certain respects, the book continued to be referenced for its insights into recent political history, campaigns, and the inner workings of political strategy during turbulent election years in the United States.
