It's okay, but for anyone who was paying reasonable attention there is simply nothing new. Or at least nothing verifiably new. They do have a rumor about Biden supposedly being in danger of being replaced, but that's about it.

I suspect it will be a book that will be much more interesting or useful in twenty years or so when people who were too young to have paid much attention to the 2012 election rediscover it. Except that by then there will probably be better books out there about this era, good biographies of at least some of the principals, and so on.
