- Summary:
- A full year before the presidential election, four Newsweek reporters are detached from the magazine to work fulltime on getting inside the campaigns of the Republican and Democratic candidates. Because Newsweek promises not to reveal any information until after the votes are cast, the reporters receive highly unusual access. They travel with the candidates, live at their headquarters, befriend their staffs. They blend into the background, where they watch and listen. Evan Thomas has been the writer for this project for the last three elections, and each time, he has brilliantly woven together a highly-acclaimed narrative of the campaign, based on the reporting of the Newsweek team. The result is a rich narrative, a telling, human, and personal story of the extraordinary ordeal of running for the presidency.
- With the results in, Thomas has conducted exclusive post-election interviews with John Kerry and Karl Rove, enhancing the earlier reporting with their reflections. And he has written a final chapter anticipating a bit of what we can expect from the second Bush administration. Election 2004 is a first draft of history-not rough-but knowing and deeply reported.
