Which type of book tells a more complete story about a presidential candidate? Autobiographical or biographical?


While opinions may vary as to what makes a good biography or expose, there is no doubt that there’s plenty of reading material on the candidates making a run for the White House.


BookOpinion has come up with a presidenitial candidate book list highlighting several different writing styles…some glossy and some not always favorable to the subject. While some of the other candidates have books out as well, we chose these books on the merits of being provocative and best sellers - three Democrats and three Republicans in no particular order.

flagged this story as Good Stuff

TheBigRuski, I like this story. It's good stuff.

There are the ads. The quick sound bytes. The various debates. The campaign materials, glossy and shiny. But I think we all need to dig deeper than those packaged presentations. Books by and about the candidates will, aggregated, reveal more of the candidates than just the veneer.
