Book Presentation: Sarah from Alaska by Scott Conroy and Shushannah Walshe
Book Abstract
One year after a vice presidential campaign that remains as consequential as it was controversial, Sarah Palin is still the most dynamic yet polarizing Republican in America. In Sarah from Alaska, authors Conroy and Walshe draw on their experiences as embedded reporters on Palin’s campaign to tell the behind-the-scenes story of her improbable rise – and its complicated aftermath. They illuminate both the talents that helped make Palin a superstar and the traits that became liabilities under the intense pressures of a divisive national campaign.
Sarah Palin remains ambitious and enormously popular among social conservatives, and her future will be intrinsically interwoven with that of the Republican Party as it struggles to redefine itself and recapture the necessary margin for national political victory in the next decade.

Summary of Sarah from Alaska
Introduction
Sarah Palin is one of the most controversial figures in American politics, but she is far more complex than either her admirers or detractors realize. She is smart, politically savvy, naturally charismatic, and extraordinarily ambitious. But she is also thin-skinned, stubborn, and inexperienced when it comes to both national and international affairs. Her fidelity to conservative social positions and her common touch are genuine. However, she has proven capable of political disingenuousness on several occasions.
Palin’s meteoric rise to national prominence has been nothing short of breathtaking. In 1996, Palin was elected to serve as the mayor of Wasilla, Alaska (population, 5,500). And in 2006, Palin became the first female governor of Alaska. Less than two years into her term, Republican Senator John McCain tapped her to be his vice-presidential running mate.
The little-known governor became an overnight conservative rock star following her sensational acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention. But Palin’s political stock soon plummeted following a disastrous series of media interviews where the candidate struggled to sound cogent and informed.
