Review "Only Jeff Weaver could bring to life the story of the inner workings of the historic 2016 Democratic primary. Anyone who wants to know what really went on behind the scenes of our campaign has got to read this book. From an insurgent effort to the national mass movement it became, he was there with me at the heart of it." ―Sen. Bernie Sanders, author of the New York Times bestseller Our Revolution"Weaver’s book is, fundamentally, an account of a journey on an underdog campaign and the triumphs and mistakes therein. But his time with Sanders saw him move from managing a long-shot presidential bid to one of the most successful grassroots movements in political history." ―The Daily Beast"Weaver's book works equally well as a chronicle of the most full-throated progressive presidential campaigns in modern memory -- which singlehandedly turned "socialism" into a popular search term -- and as a call to arms for future activism." ―Salon"How Bernie Won is an insider’s view of a campaign that might have won the nomination if the Democratic Party’s primary rules hadn’t been stacked against challengers and its top-level personnel been determined to stop Mr. Sanders at nearly any cost." ―The Wall Street Journal Read more About the Author JEFF WEAVER, who began working for Bernie Sanders in 1986, was his campaign manager for the 2016 presidential election, as well as president of Our Revolution, a nonprofit founded by Sanders until June 2017.
