Based on more than two-hundred interviews—many of them with Republican colleagues and one-time political allies of Palin’s—and more than forty-thousand pages of uncovered documents, Dunn chronicles former vice presidential candidate Palin’s troubling penchant for duplicity in grim detail, from her dysfunctional childhood in Wasilla, through her contentious run for mayor, her failed governorship of Alaska, and her betrayal of John McCain during the 2008 presidential election. This journalistic tour de force vividly reveals the Queen of the Tea Party movement as a vengeful and manipulative empress without clothes. Geoffrey Dunn is an award-winning investigative reporter, filmmaker, and Santa Cruz based author of Santa Cruz Is in the Heart and Chinatown Dreams.
