DOUBLE DOWN: GAME CHANGE 2012
HALPERIN, MARK
John Heilemann and Mark Halperin set the national conversation on fire with their bestselling account of
the 2008 presidential election, Game Change. In Double Down, they apply their unparalleled access and
storytelling savvy to the 2012 election, rendering an equally compelling narrative about the circuslike
Republican nomination fight, the rise and fall of Mitt Romney, and the trials, tribulations, and Election Day
triumph of Barack Obama. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with the people who lived the story,
Heilemann and Halperin deliver another reportorial tour de force that reads like a fast-paced novel.
Character driven and dialogue rich, replete with extravagantly detailed scenes, Double Down offers a
panoramic account of a campaign at once intensely hard fought and lastingly consequential. For Obama,
the victory he achieved meant even more to him than the one he had pulled off four years earlier. In 2008,
he believed, voters had bet on a hope; in 2012, they passed positive judgment on what he’d actually
done, allowing him to avert a loss that would have rendered his presidency a failed, one-term accident.
For the Republicans, on the other hand, 2012 not only offered a crushing verdict but an existential
challenge: to rethink and reconstitute the party or face irrelevance—or even extinction.

PEDDIE, RICHARD
Millions of sports fans think they know how to run any team better than the executive in charge of the
operation. Such pressure is bound to teach a person a thing or two about leadership, humility and
success. Richard Peddie, former president and CEO of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, has clearly
learned a few lessons along the way, and now he shares them for the first time in his new book.
