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.
