McAuliffe's energetic narrative provides readers with a fly-on-the-wall view, from the front lines to the back rooms where deals are made, strategies are conceived, initiatives launched - and elections are won or (sometimes) lost. Starting with the Carter-Kennedy primary contest in 1980, he brings you along the campaign trail (where he prepares for later fund-raising struggles by wrestling an alligator), and travels with legendary House Speaker \"Tip\" O'Neill to take on the Reagan Revolution. He shows how Bill Clinton won the White House in 1992, takes you behind the scenes of the 1993 healthcare reform initiative, and tells the true stories behind the Clinton house loan and the Lincoln bedroom and White House coffees. McAuliffe tells about the near victories and crushing losses in the 2000 and 2004 presidential campaigns-the latter during his four-year term as Chairman of the DNC.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49901980451089,"sku":"CIN0312357877G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50994748981521,"sku":"GOR008817386","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51324215558417,"sku":"CIN0312357877VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52490949067025,"sku":"CIN0312357877A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0312357877.jpg?v=1750780512"},{"product_id":"beyond-charlottesville-book-terry-mcauliffe-9781250245885","title":"Beyond Charlottesville","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTHE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe former governor of Virginia tells the behind-the-scenes story of the violent \"Unite the Right\" rally in Charlottesville--and shows how we can prevent other Charlottesvilles from happening.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e When Governor Terry McAuliffe hung up the phone on the afternoon of the violent \"Unite the Right\" rally in Charlottesville, he was sure Donald Trump would do the right thing as president: condemn the white supremacists who'd descended on the college town and who'd caused McAuliffe to declare a state of emergency that morning. He didn't. Instead Trump declared there was \"hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides.\" Trump was condemned from many sides himself, even by many Republicans, but the damage was done.

He takes a hard real-time behind-the-scenes look at the actions of everyone on that fateful August 12, including himself, to see what could have been done.
