Renegade

Renegade (2009)
Richard Wolffe · Virgin Books · Hardback

Before the presidency, before the power—there was the campaign that changed everything.

In Renegade, award-winning journalist Richard Wolffe delivers an electrifying, behind-the-scenes account of Barack Obama’s 2008 run for the White House—from low-budget beginnings to a political juggernaut. As an insider embedded with the campaign team, Wolffe offers rare, intimate access to the man, the mission, and the movement that upended American politics.

This is not a dry policy breakdown. Expect candid strategy sessions, late-night plane conversations, high-stakes tension, and a fresh portrait of Obama as both an idealist and a ruthless operator when needed. Whether you’re a political junkie or just love a well-told story of ambition, charisma, and cultural shift, Renegade hits the mark.

At Crappy Old Books, our copy might have a few scuffed edges and some foxing—but that just proves it’s been read the way a good political drama should be: dog-eared, debated, and devoured.
