HarperCollins. Good. 6.3 x 1.38 x 9.29 inches. Hardcover. 2009. 432 pages. On September 2, 2008 Alaska Governor Sarah Palin g ave a speech at the Republican National Convention that electrifi ed the nation and instantly made her one of the most recognizable women in the world. As chief executive of America's largest stat e, she had built a record as a reformer who cast aside politics-a s-usual and pushed through changes other politicians only talked about: Toward energy independence. Ethics reform. And the biggest private sector infrastructure project in U.S. history. And while revitalizing public school funding and ensuring the state met it s responsibilities to seniors and Alaska Native populations, Pali n also beat the political 'good ol' boys club' at their own game and brought Big Oil to heel. Like her GOP running mate, John McCa in, Palin wasn't a packaged and over-produced 'candidate.' She wa s a Main Street American woman: a working mom, wife of a blue col lar union man, and mother of five children, the oldest serving hi s country in Iraq and the youngest, an infant with special needs. Palin's hometown story touched a populist nerve, rallying hundre ds of thousands of ordinary Americans to the GOP ticket. But as t he campaign unfolded, Palin became a lightning rod for both prais e and criticism. Supporters called her 'refreshing,' 'honest,' a kitchen-table public servant they felt would fight for their inte rests. Opponents derided her as a wide-eyed Pollyanna unprepared for national leadership. But none of them knew the real Sarah Pal in. In this eagerly anticipated memoir, Palin paints an intimate portrait of growing up in the wilds of Alaska, meeting her lifelo ng love, her decision to enter politics, the importance of faith and family, and the unique joys and trials of life as a high-prof ile working mother. She also opens up for the first time about th e 2008 presidential race, providing a rare, mom's-eye view of hig h-stakes national politics - from patriots dedicated to Country F irst to slick politicos bent on winning at any cost. Going Rogue traces one ordinary citizen's extraordinary journey, revealing Pa lin's vision of a way forward for America and her unfailing hope in the greatest nation on earth. Editorial Reviews From Booklis t No good deed goes unpunished. Just ask Steve Schmidt, John McCa in's campaign manager and the guy who pushed Sarah Palin as McCai n's running mate. Now, in Palin's much-hyped book, he's just a fa t, smoking bullet-head who told her to stick to the script. The f eeling running through Going Rogue is that Palin has been burstin g to take a whack at those she believes didn't do right by her du ring the campaign. (Katie Couric, we're looking at you!) Before r eaders get to that, however, there's personal biography. We're in troduced to Sarah the reader--loved to read--the basketball playe r, hunter, wife, mother. Then lots and lots of Alaska politics, w hich will probably be a little hard even for people from Alaska t o plow through. (Scores are settled here, too.) Once Palin gets i nto the 2008 campaign, the tone is folksy, but the knives are out . Much has been made of her criticisms of Schmidt and another McC ain staffer, Nicolle Wallace. But less has been said about Palin' s comments about Barack Obama. For instance, she notes that when she and husband Todd first heard Obama speak, they saw the wow fa ctor but worried that his smooth talk would hide his radical idea s. She also implies that Obama wanted to shield only his own chil dren from the press, though, in fact, in September 2008, he told CNN that Palin's children must be off limits as well. Ronald Reag an's name is mentioned by page 3 and invoked regularly throughout . There's no doubt Palin sees herself as heir to his legacy. But many readers will see the Sarah Palin revealed in these pages as much closer to George Bush, someone you'd like to have a beer wit h. Or perhaps dinner: I always remind people from outside our sta te that there's plenty of room for all Alaska's animals--right ne xt to the mashed potatoes. --Ilene Cooper Review Truly one of t he most substantive policy books I've ever read - Rush Limbaugh From the Back Cover On September 3, 2008 Alaska Governor Sarah Palin gave a speech at the Republican National Convention that el ectrified the nation and instantly made her one of the most recog nizable women in the world.

From The Washington Post From The Washington Post's Book World/washingtonpost.com Reviewed by by Matthew Continetti Like a lot of people, as soon as I got my copy of Sarah Palin's G oing Rogue, I immediately thought of the German literary critic H ans Robert Jauss. Jauss is known as the father of critical recept ion theory. According to Jauss, every book is read in a social co ntext. In his view, the reader's attitudes, beliefs, values and j udgments are just as important as the text. Sometimes more. Palin probably didn't set out to write a book that tested Jauss's thes is. But, in so many ways, the reaction to Going Rogue is as inter esting as its content. Palin's memoir is everything you'd expect from a politician who has no intention of leaving the national sc ene. With the aid of Lynn Vincent as her ghostwriter, she tells h omespun stories, cracks a few jokes, provides juicy campaign goss ip and lets the reader know where she stands on issues such as th e right to life, government taxes and spending, health care and c limate change. Like a good Republican, she invokes Ronald Reagan' s name at every opportunity. The book is so packed with facts, hi story and encomiums about her state, she's practically a one-woma n Alaska Division of Tourism: We have the highest number of pilot s per capita in the United States. Palin tells her side of a stor y that's usually told by her opponents. It's the tale of how she rose from small-town mayor to the 2008 Republican vice presidenti al nominee to her current status as global celebrity and one of t he most polarizing figures in American politics. She writes in th e warm, casual, occasionally corny voice that has made her so lov able to some and revolting to others. I'll go out on a limb and p redict that if you like Palin, you'll like Going Rogue -- and if you don't like Palin, well, I hear the new Stephen King is pretty good. What's unusual is that Going Rogue has ignited such a medi a firestorm. After all, politicians write books like this all the time. Nobody pays any attention. Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Bill Frist, John Ashcroft, Mike Huckabee, Joe Biden, Henry Waxman -- a nd many, many more -- have all put pen to paper (often with help from collaborators) in order to record the authorized accounts of their political and personal lives. But they don't often go on O prah. For the typical pol, a book serves as the news peg for a me dia tour. He gets to go on The Daily Show, comment on public affa irs and remind his constituents and campaign donors that his opin ions matter. Then the book disappears. The pol returns to other b usiness. Palin is different. Her book has become the occasion to re-litigate the 2008 presidential campaign. All the raw cultural battles over abortion, feminism and populism that erupted when sh e strode into the limelight have sprung up again. All the stand-u p comics who had a blast last year reducing this conservative ref ormer to a cartoon are ridiculing her once more. The press and es tablished powers in Washington consistently hold Palin to a highe r standard. The AP assigned a team of 11 reporters to fact-check Palin's book. I don't remember Harry Reid's The Good Fight gettin g that treatment, but then, hardly anybody remembers The Good Fig ht. Among the AP's discoveries was the fact that -- I am not maki ng this up -- Palin is ambitious. One critic described Palin as b eing ungrateful to the McCain campaign. Why? Because in her book Palin returns fire on the anonymous campaign strategists who call ed her a diva and whackjob to eager reporters. What was she suppo sed to do? Play the role of the orphan Oliver Twist and ask, Plea se, sir, I want some more? Through no fault of her own, Sarah Pal in has become a sort of political lens, refracting the different ways conservatives and liberals see the world. To her supporters, she is, as she puts it, a common-sense conservative who isn't af raid to make moral judgments. To her detractors, she's a moronic zealot who has no place in American public life. The two interpre tations are concrete. Going Rogue won't do much to change any min ds. But for what it reveals about our current political culture, Hans Robert Jauss would say it can't be beat. bookworld@washpost. com Copyright 2009, The Washington Post. All Rights Reserved. .
