review 1: This was a fascinating read, especially for a non American trying to understand the Primary contests. David Plouffe has an engaging style and it is easy to follow.My main takeaways from the book were:1) Have a single strategy and follow it rather than zig zaging 2) A Presidential race is very similar to a start up business and requires a lot of the same skills3) Barack Obama inspires good people to work very hard (it will be interesting to see if he can do the same again)4)Having good internal metrics is better than following poor external metricsDefiantly a book that I would recommend
review 2: This is an excellent insider story on the Obama Presidential campaign of 2008. It couldn't get more personal than this. If you're looking for juicy secrets and things... more people didn't know about before you'll be disappointed. This is the perfect book to pass on to the next generation so they can see exactly what happened in this historic election. It's an excellent photograph into this period in time. Well-written, a fast, exciting, thought-provoking read. less
