Paperback. Condition: Good. "Got an urgent 'you've got to read this book' note from buddy Armen Keteyian, and I'm glad he was insistent . . . Good read, and some very good lessons." --Peter King, Sports Illustrated It's 2008. Jim Axelrod--once among the most visible correspondents on network news, the first TV reporter to broadcast from Saddam International Airport in 2003, and CBS's chief White House correspondent--is covering Obama's end run on the Democratic nomination. He's forty-five and thirty pounds overweight. He's drinking too much, sleeping too little, and scarcely seeing his family. He's just figured out that the industry that pulled him up the ladder is imploding as he's reaching for its final rungs. Then, out of the blue, Jim is sent his dad's New York Marathon finish times. At forty-six, Bob Axelrod ran a 3:29:58. With everything going on in his life, the best Jim can come up with is, "Can I beat him?" So begins Jim's deeply felt, often hilarious, quixotic effort to run the 2009 New York Marathon. Along the way he'll confront his listing marriage, a career caught in the implosion of the entire television news industry, the most god-awful shin splints and the worst-timed kidney stone, and the shadow of a loving father, who because he repeatedly lost his way still has a lesson to impart. …

Paperback. Condition: Fair. "A portrait of political campaigning that is more like what we hope than what we fear . . . a stout defense-indeed, the best I have read-of the Obama years." -David Gergen, The New York Times Book Review NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER David Axelrod has always been a believer. Whether as a young journalist investigating city corruption, a campaign consultant guiding underdog candidates against entrenched orthodoxy, or as senior adviser to the president during one of the worst crises in American history, Axelrod held fast to his faith in the power of stories to unite diverse communities and ignite transformative political change. Now this legendary strategist, the mastermind behind Barack Obama's historic election campaigns, shares a wealth of stories from his forty-year journey through the inner workings of American democracy. Believer is the tale of a political life well lived, of a man who never gave up on the deepest promises our country has to offer. The heart ofBelieveris Axelrod's twenty-year friendship with Barack Obama, a warm partnership that inspired both men even as it propelled each to great heights. Taking a chance on an unlikely candidate for the U.S. Senate, Axelrod ultimately collaborated closely Obama on his political campaigns, and served as the invaluable strategist who contributed to the tremendous victories in 2008 and 2012. Switching careers again, Axelrod served as senior adviser to the president during one of the most challenging periods in national history: working at Obama's side as he battled an economic disaster; navigated America through two wars; and fought to reform health care, the financial sector, and our gridlocked political institutions. InBeliever, Axelrod offers a deeper and richer profile of this extraordinary figure-who in just four years vaulted from the Illinois State Senate to the Oval Office-from the perspective of one who was at his side every step of the way. Spanning forty years that include corruption and transformation, turmoil and progress,Believertakes readers behind the closed doors of politics even as it offers a thrilling call to democratic action. Axelrod'sBelieveris a powerful and inspiring memoir enlivened by the charm and candor of one of the greatest political strategists in recent American history. …
