    Watch David Plouffe discuss The Audacity to Win on "Meet the Press"


    David Plouffe not only led the effort that put Barack Obama in the White House, but he also changed the face of politics forever and reenergized the idea of democracy itself. The Audacity to Win is his story of that groundbreaking achievement, taking readers inside the remarkable campaign that led to the election of the first African American president.

    For two years Plouffe worked side by side with Obama, charting the course of the campaign. His is the ultimate insider's tale, revealing both the strategies that delivered Obama to office and how the candidate and campaign handled moments of great challenge and opportunity. Moving from the deliberations about whether to run at all, through the epic primary battle with Hillary Clinton and the general election against John McCain, Plouffe showcases the high-wire gamesmanship that fascinated pundits and the drama and intrigue that captivated a nation.

    The Audacity to Win chronicles the arrival of a new moment in American life at the convergence of digital technology and grassroots organization, and the exciting possibilities revealed by a campaign that in many ways functioned as a $1 billion start-up with laser-like focus and discipline. In this extraordinary book, David Plouffe unfolds one of the most important political stories of our time, one whose lessons are not limited to politics, but reach to the greatest heights of what we dream about for our country and ourselves.

      Even of you're not an Obama fan, you should read The Audacity to Win. This the ultimate book for political junkies. David Plouffe, Barack Obama's campaign assistant, thoroughly details the Obama campaign from 2006 when he thought about running to the unprecedented use of social media. The Audacity to Win is based on Obama's memoir, The Audacity of Hope and both books use the themes of hope, change and doing the unprecedented.

      An exhilarating book for Obama fans! It's just as good as a reality TV show of the campaign would have been. It was loaded with details, well-written and engaging. I couldn't put it down.
