A correspondent for The New York Times Magazine, Leibovich punctures the inflated personas of the powerful, revealing the peculiarities behind the public masks. A brilliant reporter with a talent for subversive, engaging storytelling, Leibovich maintains a refreshing conviviality with many of his subjects even as he renders incisive and unflinching assessments. He exposes the fallibilities of the kingmakers and media stars: consider his 2007 profile of Hillary Clinton, which unearthed a treasure trove of old letters that the then senator had written as a college student; or his 2010 portrait of Glenn Beck, which laid bare the tortured soul and precarious standing of the once invincible host and his uneasy relationship with his soon-to-be ex-employer FOX News. Leibovich's portraits remind us that great journalism and stylish writing are not only essential to the Republic but necessary to maintain our sanity in the face of made-for-TV government"--From publisher.
