Book Reviews of Going Rogue

Book Review: Love of Country
Summary: 5 Stars


Sarah Palin discusses her parents, siblings and childhood in Idaho and Alaska. She talks about her relationship with Todd, her time on the basketball team, experience of working through college, competing in beauty pageants, and early years of matrimony. Mrs. Palin's experience as a City Council Member, Mayor, and then Governor as well as her experience on the Alaskan Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) out shadow Obama's community organizer credentials, yet she was often criticized in the main stream media. Her discussion of the Alaskan Constitution and the State's stewardship of the environment is enlightening as was her explanation of four priorities as Governor: (1) Living within your means, (2) expand industry and resource development, (3) Focus on core services, and (4) Saving for the future. Placing these priorities into action required a return to free-market principles to ensure protection of the environment as well as support for the Alaskan people.

Mrs. Palin also provides keen insights on the dysfunctional McCain Campaign (though she is very polite), the birth of her Down's Syndrome child, the pregnancy of her daughter, the disappointing Katie Couric interview, the alleged $150,000 wardrobe "scandal" and the exposure of her personal emails by a hacker. She closes the book with a discussion on why she resigned from the Governor's office.

The book is a detailed, sometimes humorous, sometimes tear-jerking account of the "Blood Sport" of National Politics, and how a middle-class family was attacked by all quarters of the political and media elites. An `Average Joe' may wonder why anyone would want to enter that world of slander and disinformation, but Sarah Palin makes it clear: her love of country.

On a personal note, I am glad I listened to the CD version of the book. The book was read by the author, and her points of emphasis and inflections in her voice really give the listener a better context of Sarah Palin as a wife, a Mom, and a person. (CD Length was about 7 hours)

Summary of Going Rogue

One year ago, Sarah Palin burst onto the national political stage like a comet. Yet even now, few Americans know who this remarkable woman really is.

As chief executive of America's largest state, Sarah Palin had built a record as a reformer who pushed through changes other politicians only talked about: Energy independence. Ethics reform. And the biggest private sector energy infrastructure project in U.S. history. While revitalizing public school funding and ensuring the state met its responsibilities to seniors and Alaska Native populations, Palin also brought Big Oil to heel.

She was a Main Street American woman: a working mom, wife of a blue collar union man, and mother of five children. But as the presidential campaign unfolded, Palin became a lightning rod for both praise and criticism. And few knew the real Sarah Palin.

In this eagerly anticipated memoir, Palin paints an intimate portrait of growing up in the wilds of Alaska; meeting her lifelong love; her decision to enter politics; the importance of faith and family; and the unique joys and trials of life as a high-profile working mother. She also opens up for the first time about the 2008 presidential race, providing a rare, mom's-eye view of high-stakes national politics?from patriots dedicated to ?Country First? to slick politicos bent on winning at any cost.

Going Rogue traces one ordinary citizen's extraordinary journey, and imparts Palin's vision of a way forward for America and her unfailing hope in the greatest nation on earth
