A note from ROYCE FLIPPINWe're living at a turning point in U.S. politics—not just because we're about to elect a new president, but also because the American public is clamoring loudly and clearly for a break from the policies and attitudes of the past. Best American Political Writing 2008 offers a unique window into this special time. Readers will find a collection of the nation's most insightful and eloquent reporting on the roller-coaster primary campaigns, including how maverick John McCain came back from oblivion to become the GOP's candidate this November, and snapshots of key points in the Barack Obama-Hillary Clinton battle for the Democratic nomination. But just as important, they'll also encounter thoughtful and illuminating stories about the nature of American politics today, such as how political messages are crafted to bypass our brains and appeal to our fondest wishes (and sometimes our darkest fears), and the ways in which the tides of international politics are affecting our future options as a nation. Pieces on Iraq, Afghanistan, the economy, and the growing acknowledgment of the climate change crisis round out what I believe is the year's most comprehensive single volume on the current State of our Union—not to mention one of the most entertaining reads of a wild and woolly political season! —ROYCE FLIPPIN |
