The great strategist who masterminded Obama's historical election campaigns opens up about his years as a journalist, political advisor, and ultimately mature adviser to the chief executive The person behind a few of the greatest politics changes of the last decade, David Axelrod has devoted an eternity to questioning politics certainties and daring to bring fresh thinking in to the political surroundings. Whether as a kid hearing John F. Kennedy stump in New York or as a strategist guiding the first African American to the White House, Axelrod shows in Believer how his own life stands at the center of the tumultuous American century. Believer starts in the inimitable world of 1960s New York, but rapidly moves west. As a newspaperman in the Chicago of the 1970s and 1980s, Axelrod reported on the dissolution of the last of the top city politics machines, along with the emergence of the black, independent movement that made Obama's ascent possible. Witnessing the golden get older of Chicago journalism collapse, Axelrod turned careers to become political strategist, working for pathbreakers like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and morally conflicted personas like John Edwards. For better and worse, Axelrod helped to redefine the techniques where modern political promotions are run. The heart of Believer is devoted to Axelrod's 20-time companionship with Obama, a warm collaboration that inspired both men even as it propelled each to great levels. As mature adviser to the chief executive, Axelrod offered during one of the most challenging durations in national record and worked well at Obama's part as he battled an financial catastrophe, navigated America through two wars, and fought to reform healthcare, the financial sector, and our grid-locked politics institutions.
