In The Lies of Sarah Palin, Geoffrey Dunn provides the first full-scale and in-depth political biography of the controversial Republican vice-presidential candidate and former governor of Alaska.
Based on more than two-hundred interviews---many of them with Republican colleagues and one-time political allies of Palin’s---and more than forty-thousand pages of uncovered documents, Dunn chronicles Palin’s troubling penchant for duplicity in grim detail, from her dysfunctional childhood in Wasilla through her contentious run for mayor and her failed governorship of Alaska. He also provides the shocking inside story of her betrayal of running mate John McCain during the 2008 presidential campaign and her self-serving resignation as governor in July of the following year. Dunn deftly places Palin in the American tradition of right-wing demagogues---from Huey Long to Joe McCarthy---and details her troubling obsession with Barack Obama as it fuels her own political ambitions and a potential run for the presidency in 2012.
The Lies of Sarah Palin is a journalistic tour de force that vividly reveals the Queen of the Tea Party movement as a vengeful and manipulative empress without clothes. This is the definitive book on Sarah Palin.

But.
Response, at the time, was largely to ignore Malek’s and the RGA’s recommendations. “Like so much of the advice sent Ms. Palin’s way by influential supporters,” the Times noted, “it appeared to be happily received and then largely discarded.” Her experience with those outside her immediate circle had led her not to trust people, and she still operated on her gut instincts when bringing outsiders into her brain trust. In a lengthy profile of Palin’s cohort, entitled “The Palin Network,” that.

In 1993, Stambaugh, then a captain of the Patrol Division in the Anchorage Police Department, was selected over several other candidates to serve as the City of Wasilla’s first chief of police. Stambaugh immediately developed a sterling reputation in the close-knit community of five thousand—so much so that the city nominated him to be Alaska’s Municipal Employee of the.
For. She’ll touch lightly on it—but in the end it’s all about bad-mouthing people. Every issue turns personal. Everything becomes personalized.” And, of course, in her narrative, Sarah Palin was always wearing the white hat.
