The\u003ci\u003e Atlanta Journal-Constitution\u003c\/i\u003e reporter Greg Bluestein charts how progressive activists and organizers worked to mobilize hundreds of thousands of new voters and how Joe Biden's victory in Georgia may shape Democratic strategy for years to come. He also chronicles how Georgia's Republicans countered with a move to the far right that culminated in state leaders defying Donald Trump's demands to overturn his defeat. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Bluestein tells the story of all the key figures in this election, including Stacey Abrams, Brian Kemp, David Perdue, Jon Ossoff, Raphael Warnock, and Kelly Loeffler, through hundreds of interviews with the people closest to the election. \u003ci\u003eFlipped\u003c\/i\u003e also features such fascinating characters as political activist turned U.S. congresswoman Nikema Williams; perma-tanned baseball star turned lieutenant governor Geoff Duncan; and the volunteers and voters who laid the groundwork for Biden's triumphant Georgia campaign. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eFlipped \u003c\/i\u003etells a story that will resonate through the rest of the decade and beyond, as most political experts see Georgia headed toward years of close elections, and Democrats have developed a deep bench of strong candidates to challenge a still deeply entrenched GOP. Interest in the state only figures to increase if and when Stacey Abrams mounts a rematch against Governor Brian Kemp in the fall of 2022 and Trump promotes his own slate of candidates against Republicans who stood against his efforts to overturn Georgia's election.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greg Bluestein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0593489152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593489154\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Viking\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.40w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2021 pg. 15\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/17\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2022","brand":"Greg Bluestein","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44053822832895,"sku":"9780593489154","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_28d4b88d-5f1a-4fed-a42a-4abd38572b91.jpg?v=1685026434","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/flipped-greg-bluestein-9780593489154","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
