Five star content and writing. Zero star editing, spell checking, punctuation. Surely, this book's release could have been delayed a day or so to correct such obvious mistakes as "getting cold feat" and "heard a deliberate eco"; especially when charging $30.00. Every few pages my reading came to an abrupt halt when some nonsensical sentence disrupted all sense of flow. Such a shame. This book should be required reading before casting a ballot this November for any candidate, but Mr. Dick. 0.00. Every few pages my reading came to an abrupt halt when some nonsensical sentence disrupted all sense of flow. Such a shame. This book should be required reading before casting a ballot this November for any candidate, but Mr. Dick. Ben Ezzell said Dickersonian. If you have ever listened to the podcast that inspired this book, you will be unable to read the book without heading John Dickerson's voice narrating it in your head. I count that as a plus.Fascinating book, well written, insightful.. For Political Junkies, this is the real deal. Jesse Liberty Dickerson is one of my favorite political commentators/moderators. He is great on Face the Nation, he is even better on the Political Gabfest, but the most fun is his WhistleStop podcast. Here, he takes much of that wonderful material and fleshes it out, making for some wonderful stories about life on the campaign trail throughout US history. Highly recommended
The characters full of striving and ego. WHISTLESTOP is a ride through the American campaign history with one of its most enthusiastic conductors guiding you through the landmarks along the way.. Some of the most modern-feeling elements of the American presidential campaign were born before the roads were paved and electric lights lit the convention halls-or there were convention halls at all. As Mike Murphy the political strategist put it, "Campaigns are like war without bullets."WHISTLESTOP tells the human story of nervous gambits hatched in first-floor hotel rooms, failures of will before the microphone, and the cross-country crack-ups of long-planned stratagems. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERFrom Face the Nation moderator and Slate columnist John Dickerson come the stories behind the stories of the most memorable moments in American presidential campaign history. The stakes are high. The battle of ideas has a clear end, with winners and losers, and along the way there are sharp turning points-primaries, debates, conventions, and scandals that squeeze candidates into emergency action, frantic grasping, and heroic gambles. In addition to the familiar tales, WHISTLESTOP also remembers the forgotten
"As much as we arrogantly think our present political moment is new, it is not. It connects and interconnects signal campaigns from our 'glorious' past, where the same sausage making we decry today is on vivid, sometimes impressive, sometimes hilarious, display. John Dickerson has a storyteller's touch and a historian's insight. It's nice to be reminded of the beauty and glory of American democracy at its best."Walter Isaacson"With a delightful conversational style featuring casual asides and plenty of incisive commentary, Dickerson's many years of experience covering politics informs his intriguing inside looks at how certain stories begin and how they grow A politically astute, timely book that will also have great historical value for future campaigns."Kirkus Review "Whistlestop
