A long time coming

Since 1984, Newsweek has been known for its in-depth special election coverage. For this book, Newsweek assigned reporters to embed with Republican and Democratic presidential campaigns a year before the election, promising not to publish until after the votes were cast. This access allowed reporters to travel with candidates, witness crucial turning points and confidential meetings, and uncover stories beyond daily reporting. This book shares inside stories from a recent exciting election, revealing the personalities and events that shaped the outcome and examining key players and issues for the new administration.
