"In the tradition of Theodore White’s The Making of the President .
. . . A riveting account . . . filled with turning point moments. .
. . Scenes jump off the page."
—The Washington Post
"Essential reading. . . . Dovere’s first book is informed and
granular, filled with up-close quotes and lacerating observations,
a must-read for newsrooms and political junkies. . . . Battle for
the Soul provides ample warning and plenty of food for
thought."
—Lloyd Green, The Guardian
"A wide-ranging history of a tangled campaign."
—Kirkus Reviews
"An incisive and deeply reported portrait of the Democratic party
in exile during the Trump presidency . . . . Littered with rich
characterizations, wry humor, and impressive insider access."
—Publishers Weekly
"There’s so much in it. It’s so dishy. It’s so fantastic. You’ll
learn a lot."
—Julie Mason, SiriusXM
"Candy. . . . Even if you think you know the dynamics, you read a
great book like this by a great reporter, and you learn these new
things."
—John King, CNN
"One juicy book."
—Alex Witt, MSNBC
"It is outstanding. Strongly recommend. I think it is probably the
best read of the 2020 campaign. The success of the book is that it
doesn’t get bogged down in the horse race, electoral math type
thing, but it talks about the personalities, how the personalities
drove what happened in an extraordinarily unpredictable
campaign."
—Charlie Sykes, The Bulwark
"Highly recommend - it is a dynamite book."
—John Fugelsang, SiriusXM
"An extraordinary new book."
—Thom Hartmann
"The inside campaign details I was craving. . . . Buy the
book."
—Dave Weigel, The Washington Post
