...sites - News Corp. is the biggest producer of news in the English-speaking world - behind a pay wall. That includes the online output of papers that run the spectrum of quality all the way from the snobby Times of London to the grubby New York Post, not to mention broadcaster Fox News Channel (FNC).

Journalists Dan Balz and Haynes Johnson - current and former Washington Post reporters, respectively - capture the momentous contest in a polished account refreshingly free of last year's breathless soundbites, pundit insta-reaction or fixation on trifling gaffes (the maelstrom over President Obama's "lipstick on a pig" comment warrants barely a mention). Instead, it provides an evenhanded and comprehensive account of the race, based on interviews with...
