Some might recall that Barack Obama rose to prominence on the strength of two bestselling books, and now his possible 2012 rival for the White House is trying to follow suit. In this provocative memoir, Sarah Palin details her unique Alaskan upbringing, relives her rapid ascension to the national spotlight, and provides more of the candid, homespun wisdom for which she is best known. GOING ROGUE will be required reading for supporters of both political parties, as Republicans look for answers and Democrats look for ammunition.

Reviewer: Claude R. Marx, (Boston Globe)
"[O]ne comes away from this book impressed by her political acumen, emotional intelligence, and her knowledge of energy issues. Her innate ability to connect with people and lack of pretension are reminiscent of the skill set that Ronald Reagan possessed....[But] Palin has a way to go before she is likely to be perceived as having that kind of stature. It is not at all clear how GOING ROGUE will help her get there."
Reviewer: Melanie Kirkpatrick, (Wall Street Journal)
"GOING ROGUE is more a personal memoir than a political one....Mrs. Palin emerges as a new style of feminist: a politician who took on the Ole Boy network and won; a wife with a supportive husband whose career takes second place to hers; and a mother who, unlike working women of an earlier age, isn't shy about showcasing her family responsibilities....This is not the prejudiced, dim-witted ideologue of the popular liberal imagination."
Reviewer: Michiko Kakutani, (New York Times)
"GOING ROGUE...is part cagey spin, part earnest autobiography, part payback hit job. And its most compelling sections deal not with politics but with Ms. Palin's life in Alaska and her family....The self-portrait created in these pages recalls the early profiles of Ms. Palin that appeared just after her debut on the national stage: a self-reliant frontierswoman who knows how to field dress a moose; a feisty gal with lots of moxie and pep; a former beauty queen with a George W. Bush-like aptitude for mangling the English language."

about leadership skills of governor palin review
"going rogue" is a very indepth bestseller. I found it very hard to put down. this very fasinating lawmaker shares in this book what its like to serve on city council and become a very popular mayor and a governor who is right next door to a very dangerous country and goes on to become a vice presidential running mate and a possible candidate for 2012. I really apprieated this because for the first time I got to know the real sarah palin and find out what her issues and plaforms are a
nd in the last campaign we were not really allowed to get to know her leadership skills . this would make a great gift for a friend or family member or a soldier serving over seas or a perfect birthday gift. buy online and you dont have to wait in line.
