Read from March 16 to April 08, 2012

Where Game Change was a sprawling, often second-hand, account of all the major 2008 candidates, with Renegade, Wolffe provides the only total-access, first hand account of the Obama campaign. To my knowledge, no reporter during the election was a close to Obama as he was, as evidenced by the many conversations with the candidate/president that were quite candid, personal and detailed. While Wolffe's presentation can at times feel biased towards the Obama camp and so immersed in their campaign that it almost feels as though he's part of the staff, it is still an exhilarating read, one I'd recommend to anyone interested in the inner workings of Obama's positive approach to politics. While the Kindle version of the book sports many grammatical and punctuation errors (especially the latter), the content, the timeline of the story and emotional impact are able to overcome such deficiencies. An entertaining and informative read.
