Mike Allen and Evan Thomas, “The Right Fights Back” (Random House, 2011) - a podcast by Marshall Poe

In his new book, The Right Fights Back (Random House, 2011), Mike Allen, the chief White House correspondent for Politico and author of Robert F. Kennedyand The War Lovers, provides a detailed analysis of the early parts of the 2012 presidential election campaign. His close look inside the GOP campaigns is filled with surprising information that will interest political junkies everywhere. In our interview, we talked about how Michele Bachmann convinced a reluctant Ed Rollins to join her campaign, why Rick Perry underestimated the importance of the debates, and how Tim Pawlenty was misled about the state of his campaign debt. Read all about it, and more, in Allen’s informative new book. Please become a fan of “New Books in Public Policy” on Facebook if you haven’t already.
