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.
