I started this book at the beginning of the year, with the intention of reading it throughout this year's presidential campaign. I tried to keep up with about a chapter a month. Maybe I'm imagining it, but it was eerie how much the '72 election mirrored this one. Are they all like that? Anyway, everyone loves HST but some of the political minutia about people I've never heard of bored me to tears. On the other hand, A lot of the strategy involved, particularly involving deliberate leaking of information to the press was fascinating.
