Very interesting reading. The book focuses on the gas pipeline, not on Governor Palin. In fact a large portion of the book is about the previous governors inept handling of the same situation. Governor Palin succeed where he failed miserably.
This book gave me a different perspective on what enormous challenges Governor Palin faced in accomplishing so much good for Alaskans, while corrupt politicians and greedy oil companies hounded her every step.
This book was well worth the read, if you are interested in the challenges that Alaska faced in bringing natural gas to America's lower 48.
