52:42Now PlayingJake Sherman & Anna Palmer, "The Hill To Die On", at Politics and Prose on 4/16/19.
Senior writers for Politico and co-authors of the indispensable Politico Playbook newsletter, Sherman and Palmer had inside access to the key figures involved in the heated battles that defined the 2018 midterm elections. Their book is a detailed recreation of the no-holds-barred fight to control Congress as well as an analysis of the major issues, debates, and intrigue that led up to it. Covering the struggle between Paul Ryan and the conservative Freedom Caucus for control of the House, the sexual harassment allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, and primaries across the country, the authors offer both astute political analysis and an unsettling portrait of today’s tumultuous political landscape.
Jake Sherman and Anna Palmer are senior writers for Politico and the coauthors of Politico Playbook. Sherman is a graduate of the George Washington University and Columbia University. A graduate of St. Olaf College, Palmer was previously a reporter for Roll Call and Legal Times.
