Book Jacket SARAH FROM ALASKA
The Sudden Rise and Brutal Education of a New Conservative Superstar
SCOTT CONROY AND SHUSHANNAH WALSHE
SUMMARY   |  AUTHOR'S NOTE   |  QUOTES
Two "embedded" reporters tell the inside story of Sarah Palin's historic vice-presidential campaign and how the former Alaska governor is paving her future in national politics

Sarah Palin is still the most dynamic yet polarizing Republican in America. In Sarah from Alaska, Scott Conroy and Shushannah Walshe draw on their experiences as embedded reporters on Palin's campaign, exclusive on-scene coverage of Palin's post-election struggles in Alaska, and revealing interviews with former McCain/Palin staffers, top political minds, and Palin's family, friends, and foes in Alaska to tell the remarkable behind-the-scenes story of her improbable rise—and its complicated aftermath. The result is a fair and fascinating portrait of Sarah Palin and of the American political process.

Scott Conroy has worked as a campaign reporter and is currently a digital journalist for CBS News. Shushannah Walshe was a reporter and producer at the Fox News Channel until 2008. She is currently a freelance journalist whose work has appeared on NY1, The Daily Beast, Salon, CBSNews.com, and elsewhere. Conroy now lives in Chicago; Walshe in New York City.
