After three years of research, bestselling journalist Joe McGinniss presents his
already controversial and much anticipated investigative chronicle of Sarah Palin
as an individual, politician, and cultural phenomenon.

In his critically acclaimed book about Alaska, Going to Extremes, the fledgling
state itself was Joe McGinniss.s subject. Although he didn.t hesitate to reveal
the many flaws and contradictions behind its .last frontier. image, McGinniss fell
in love with the land and its people. More than three decades later, he returned
to Alaska in search of its most famous resident, Sarah Palin.

On Election Day 2008, McGinniss began his on-the-ground reporting that culminated,
famously, in his moving next door to Sarah Palin in spring 2010. THE ROGUE is the
eagerly awaited result of his research and writing: a startling study of the
illusion and reality of Sarah Palin.and a probing look at the Alaska and the
America that produced her. Sometimes funny, sometimes frightening, always
provocative and illuminating, THE ROGUE answers the questions .Who is she,
really?,. .How did she happen?,. and .Will she ever go away?.

In all of his books, McGinniss has scrutinized the mysterious space between image
and reality.how that space is created, negotiated, and/or manipulated. Now, with
The Rogue, McGinniss combines his deep appreciation of the place Sarah Palin comes
from with his uncanny ability to penetrate the facades of people in public life.
The result is an extraordinary double narrative that alternately traces Palin.s
curious rise to political prominence and worldwide celebrity status and recounts
the author.s day-to-day experiences as he uncovers the messy reality beneath the
glossy Palin myth.
