Product Description:
On September 3, 2008 Alaska Governor Sarah Palin gave a speech at the Republican National Convention that electrified the nation and instantly made her one of the most recognizable women in the world.
As chief executive of America′s largest state, she had built a record as a reformer who cast aside politics-as-usual and pushed through changes other politicians only talked about: Energy independence. Ethics reform. And the biggest private sector infrastructure project in U.S. history. While revitalizing public school funding and ensuring the state met its responsibilities to seniors and Alaska Native populations, Palin also beat the political "good ol′ boys club" at their own game and brought Big Oil to heel.
Like her GOP running mate, John McCain, Palin wasn′t a packaged and over-produced "candidate." She was a Main Street American woman: a working mom, wife of a blue collar union man, and mother of five children, the eldest of whom was serving his country in a yearlong deployment in Iraq and the youngest, an infant with special needs. Palin′s hometown story touched a populist nerve, rallying hundreds of thousands of ordinary Americans to the GOP ticket.
But as the campaign unfolded, Palin became a lightning rod for both praise and criticism. Supporters called her "refreshing," "honest," a kitchen-table public servant they felt would fight for their interests. Opponents derided her as a wide-eyed Pollyanna unprepared for national leadership. But none of them knew the real Sarah Palin.
In this eagerly anticipated memoir, Palin paints an intimate portrait of growing up in the wilds of Alaska; meeting her lifelong love; her decision to enter politics; the importance of faith and family; and the unique joys and trials of life as a high-profile working mother. She also opens up for the first time about the 2008 presidential race, providing a rare, mom′s-eye view of high-stakes national politics - from patriots dedicated to "Country First" to slick politicos bent on winning at any cost.
Going Rogue traces one ordinary citizen′s extraordinary journey, and imparts Palin′s vision of a way forward for America and her unfailing hope in the greatest nation on earth.

If USA would return Alaska with Sarah Palin to Russia, it would instantly rise quality of public life and politics as in Russia as in USA.

I was at the local Thirty-One Flavors the other evening when I saw some white, old person with this book: Going Rouge: An American Life by Sarah Palin! Out of a sense of morbid curiosity, I decided to purchase the kindle version of this book and read through it on my lunchbreak.
One need only to look at Sarah Palins' tried and failed methods of limiting governemtn, reducing taxes, supporting the constitution and the framer's original intent to see why she lost horribly in the last election. ... Read More

A lot of water has gone under the bridge with this lady. Comments, accusations and smears have been leveled against her and her family. Public opinion has been heavily swayed by her media coverage. Nevertheless, everyone deserves their day in court. This is Sarah's--in her own words.
I don't believe there could have been a Ghost Writer here. This is too personal! She speaks about personal matters that were not privy to anyone. One example is her conversations with her daughter while driving ... Read More

I don't like Sarah Palin and think she's a moron. Still, I tried to be objective about this review. I've read many memoirs in the past year: Monster, Infidel, Open, Happens Every Day, and The Politician. What's really striking about this book is the lack of depth or emotion. There are many example of this. For example, she describes being pranked by the Canadian who poses as Sarcozy, but gives us nothing about what this experience was like for her. It must have been extremely embarassing but you'd never ... Read More
