Hachette Book Giveaway for the Election

October 1, 2008 by Jennifer

Are you ready for Election Day? Hachette Book Group is offering these 11 titles in the spirit of the season:

1. Mike’s Election Guide By Michael Moore

It’s a great year to be an American and a voter. Don’t miss out on MIKE’S ELECTION GUIDE – the indispensable book that belongs in every American’s back pocket this season.

2. The Preacher and the Presidents By Nancy Gibbs and Michael Duffy

Reveals how the world’s most powerful men and world’s most famous evangelist, Billy Graham, knit faith and politics together.

3. Hard Call By John McCain

In Hard Call, acclaimed authors John McCain and Mark Salter describe the anatomy of great decisions in history by telling the remarkable stories of men and women who have exemplified composure, wisdom, and intellect in the face of life’s toughest decisions.

4. The American Journey of Barack Obama By The Editors of Life Magazine

Covers the candidate Barack Obama from his childhood and adolescence to his time as editor of The Harvard Law Review and his Chicago activist years, culminating with the excitement and fervor of the historic 2008 Democratic National Convention.

5. Goodnight Bush By Erich Origen and Gan Golen

A hilarious and poignant visual requiem for the Bush administration.

6. Takeover By Charlie Savage

Takeover tells the story of how a group of true believers, led by VP Cheney, set out to establish near-monarchical executive powers that, in the words of one conservative critic, “will lie around like a loaded weapon” for any future president.

7. Her Way By Jeff Gerth and Don Van Natta Jr.

The first truly balanced investigation into the life and career of Hillary Rodham Clinton, Jeff Gerth and Don Van Natta Jr.’s masterful biography.

8. Dream in Color By Congresswoman Linda Sánchez and Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez.

Often considered Congress’s Odd Couple, these warm witty sisters are not only perfect role models for young Latinas in the US, but for all young women looking to break out and create a brighter future for themselves.

9. From Hope to Higher Ground By Mike Huckabee

In his insightful and plainspoken manner, Mike Huckabee carries hope to Americans and provides practical solutions to current problems in our nation.

10. The Revolution By Ron Paul

In this book, Texas congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul provides answers to questions that few even dare to ask.

11. What You Should Know About Politics . . . But Don’t by Jessamyn Conrad

The first and only issue-based nonpartisan guide to contemporary American politics.

Next week we will draw three winners who will receive all 11 books. They might not all suit your political bent, but perhaps reading them might change your mind or broaden your perspective.

At the very least, you’ll have something to throw at the TV as this endless campaign draws to a close!

If you’d like to win (U.S. addresses only), please leave a comment here saying which of these books you’d dig into first.

The winners of last week’s contests:

Hannah’s Dream
