I did enjoy learning more about Rachel Maddow than I knew before but I was confused, in the author calling this a biography, if she spoke to Rachel directly or simply pieced together multiple articles, interviews and essays that Rachel conducted over the years into a linear narrative. In the acknowledgement section she thanks her agent but doesn’t thank Rachel or Susan or any other figures,That had they been interviewed by the author directly, would have been thanked for their participation. Seeing as how this book is coming out during the 2020 election cycle seems a bit opportunistic if the author is simply piecing together old interviews and calling it a work of her own.
