Two of America’s most perceptive political reporters join
forces for an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at the
race for the White House in POLITICO’s Playbook 2012, a
series of four instant digital books on the 2012
presidential election. The first edition, The Right Fights
Back, follows the campaign for the Republican presidential
nomination.
The battle for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination
promises to be one of the most hotly contested and closely
fought in recent memory, as establishment Republicans, Tea
Party favorites, and dark horse insurgents vie to take on
President Obama in the November election. In The Right
Fights Back, Mike Allen, chief White House correspondent for
POLITICO, and Evan Thomas, the award-winning journalist and
author of Robert F. Kennedy and The War Lovers, chronicle
the dramatic events of this historic campaign as it unfolds.
With exclusive real-time reporting from the campaign trail,
The Right Fights Back provides detail, color, and in-depth
analysis that take readers beyond the hourly headlines and
commentary. From the role of Super PACS and conservative
interest groups to the clashes of personality and policy
that will define the race to capture the GOP nomination,
this is a history-as-it-happens account of the resurgent
American right at the crossroads.
