Going Rogue: An American Life is a 2009 autobiography of Sarah Palin, former governor of Alaska and 2008 Republican vice-presidential candidate.
Summary
Going Rogue is an autobiography of Sarah Palin's early life, and a memoir of her experiences in the 2008 Presidential Campaign.[1]
Reception
After the publisher pushed the release date to Nov. 17, the book achieved best-seller status.[2] Once it became available for pre-order in late September, the book spent three days on Amazon.com's Top 100 list[3] before becoming the #1 best-selling title across all categories on September 30, 2009.[4] The book also became the Barnes & Noble #1 best seller based on pre-orders.[5] This is considered to be "absolutely unprecedented performance for a non-fiction book so far in advance of its release date."[6] Palin has appeared on a number of television shows to promote the book, including Oprah Winfrey's.
Liberals have condemned the book out of a fear of Sarah Palin[7], who is respected by many conservatives and may be a presidential contender in 2012.
Despite widespread positive reception, Palin's book does contain at least one inaccuracy, in that she claims that the Early 1980s recession was far worse than the Recession of 2008. <ref>http://www.conservapedia.com/Recession_of_2008
