Unprecedented's second printing features a new cover for the inauguration, with an exclusive portrait of the president-elect. Packed with exclusive photojournalism and new revelations straight from the front lines, Unprecedented: The Election That Changed Everything chronicles the most hard- fought and newsworthy election of our time. The book tells the full story of the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign, as a Republican field of seventeen candidates battled it out until one remained: a blustery billionaire and reality TV star with no respect for the rules of politics and no fear of offending people. Across the aisle, Democrats witnessed a showdown between an unlikely populist hero in Sen. Bernie Sanders and the more well-known establishment candidate, Hillary Clinton, who was hobbled by scandal in her second attempt to become America's first woman president. The first-ever book from CNN Politics, Unprecedented unleashes new reporting on every jab between a major party's first female presidential nominee and a political neophyte who many discounted.Featuring a foreword by CNN's chief Washington correspondent, Jake Tapper, and an introduction by historian Douglas Brinkley, Unprecedented reveals new insight and emotion while telling a story that will change America forever. Authored by top CNN writer Thomas Lake and edited by award-winning veteran political reporter Jodi Enda, Unprecedented is filled with exclusive photos, commentary and insights from some of CNN's greatest contributors, including author Carl Bernstein, correspondent Brian Stelter and Pulitzer Prize--winning photographer David Hume Kennerly. Together, their work makes this book the ultimate way to feel and understand the epic event it chronicles, an election like no other.

"A real-time, in-depth account of the 2016 presidential race." -- Fast Company "At its core, Unprecedented is impressionistic, a contemplation of a country at an inflection point, when the paths before it--embodied by two profoundly flawed candidates--could not have appeared more divergent. In its bolder moments, the book aspires to the tone and sweep of a historical novel, and Lake's accomplishments feel that much more impressive when you consider it was written not with the luxury and clarity of hindsight, but very much in the middle of the storm." -- Atlanta Magazine "Captures all the highlights of the election year, from the primaries to the party conventions and debates to the election of Donald Trump... CNN politics writer Lake's well-written narrative, interspersed with contributions by more than a dozen correspondents, analysts, and commentators, reflects the same "all in" approach the network took to its televised coverage... An early, vivid re-creation." -- Kirkus "The achievement of hammering this book together as well and as quickly as was obviously done is little short of stupendous... an impressive illustrated first draft of modern history, whatever your emotional reaction." -- The Buffalo News
