Going Rouge: Sarah Palin, An American Nightmare is a collection of essays about Sarah Palin with a spoof title and book cover design intended to lampoon Palin's memoir Going Rogue: An American Life. It was released on November 17, 2009.[1][2] Both books feature Palin on the front in red, but Going Rouge has her against a backdrop of black thunder clouds and lightning, instead of the blue sky and white clouds on her memoir.[3]
The anthology, according to its publisher OR Books, provides a political counterpoint and addresses Palin's background, her rise to prominence, and "the nightmarish prospect of her continuing to dominate the nation's political scene."[3]
The book is unrelated in content to Going Rouge: The Sarah Palin Rogue Coloring & Activity Book, a 48-page paperback by cartoonist Julie Sigwart and radio host Micheal Stinson,[1] or to Going Rouge: A Candid Look inside the Mind of Political Conservative Sarah Palin, a novelty book of 102 blank pages.[4]
