The dust has now settled on one of the most fiercely fought
political battles of our time, and with it comes the first
substantial piece of narrative journalism reflecting on the
2012 Presidential Election. With access to the Obama
re-election machine, Michael Hastings reports the
behind-the-scenes story of the campaign trail: from Obama’s
self-destructive performance at the first debate to the
harrowing days of Hurricane Sandy, all culminating in his
triumphant victory late in the evening on November 6th.
Along the way, Hastings gives a first hand account of the
excitement and madness traveling with the White House press
corps, bringing to life a series of unforgettably strange
moments from the trail. From one of the sharpest, funniest,
and most controversial young American journalists writing
today comes Panic: 2012 – the definitive account of how
President Obama almost blew it.
