The only graphic novel-style biography of the Presidential Contender.

National Bestseller updated for 2020 with 24 new pages taking Bernie into the 2020 election.


Ted Rall's Bernie explores the personal and political development of a man who burst onto the national stage in 2015—rallying Americans and shaking up the Democratic Party—after decades in Congress. He's leading the polls, but win or lose the Democratic nomination for 2020, he's setting a new benchmark for a revived progressivism within a party that has rejected it for half a century. Insightful, funny, and accessible, this biography-in-graphic-novel-form of the presidential candidate explains both his early life and political rise, but also shows the broader history (and decline) of progressive democratic values in the U.S. until Bernie brought them back to the forefront of the political conversation.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Rall’s illustrated work, in the same format as his acclaimed Snowden, is an illuminating, clear-headed, straight-shooting argument on why American voters should support and elect Senator Bernie Sanders to president. ... In the months leading up to the Democratic Convention, this is an essential survey and solid political ammunition for Sanders supporters, with appeal to politically minded readers." Publishers Weekly

"More than a campaign biography, this graphic narrative traces the decline and possible resurgence of liberalism within the Democratic Party.... An effective, if unapologetically partisan, primer on a strong voice from the left to counter the Democrats' rightward shift."
Kirkus Reviews

"What sets this book apart is not that it's a cartoon, but that it's an argument for placing Bernie Sanders in a particular position in U.S. history, namely as the restoration of liberalism to a Democratic Party that hasn't seen it since the McGovern campaign. In fact, a huge chunk of the book is not about Bernie at all, but is a history of the rightward drifting of the Democratic Party over the decades. Another big chunk is a history of Bernie's childhood and career. Both of these sections are well done."
—David Swanson, executive director, World Beyond War

"Whatever one’s political persuasion, 'Bernie' is quick and thoroughly entertaining, delivering both an incisive read of post-Vietnam War political history and Mr. Rall’s distinct, abstract comic art." East Hampton Star

"Delightful ... Bernie's story is fascinating." Tablet Magazine

5 out of 5 stars
A fun & educational read!
Ted Rall takes the boring out of political biographies. I literally fell asleep years ago while trying to read Obama's book, it was just too boring to get through. Rall, as gifted cartoonist, can reach simpletons in their 50s like myself by basically taking a serious subject matter and making it fun by putting it in cartoon format. There's very little IQ needed, short attention span is okay; I am learning so much as a result. For example, everything I know about Ed Snowden I learned from Rall's Snowden book. Wouldn't know Jack s*** about him otherwise, to be sure. Now I can cross off Bernie Sanders from my learning list because Rall did such a tremendous job getting all the dull facts together and presenting it the correct way (and least for non-scholarly types such as moi). Kudos to Mr. Rall for another great graphic book. Can't wait for his next!

    You can love and hate Ted Rall at the same time because he will tell you the uncomfortable truth about things you believe. His book about Bernie Sanders is exceptionally good – he first takes you on a tour of the recent (from Nixon to the present) Democratic history and lays a groundwork essential to understanding just how the Democratic party lost it's way and actually became indistinguishable from the Republican party in may ways. With that background, he launches into the rise of Sanders and the Progressive wing of (what's left of) the Democratic party.

    The book illustrates the early formative years of Bernie Sanders and Rall shows the different things that formed Sanders politics. The amazing thing is that those politics have remained almost unchanged over the past 50 years. If anything, Bernie Sanders is consistent in his politics.

    The book is done with grace and wit (a hilarious panel show a stunned friend of Sanders remarking on his election as mayor of Burlington: “It was like Trotsky had been elected mayor!”)

    The book was completed before the primaries got into full swing, so much of the meaty, contentious stuff is missing. I would love to see another book of Rall's take on the election.

    I enjoyed reading this book after seeing it mentioned on the 52in52 subreddit and I got it. My Finacee, Mother in Law and a few friends have read it and seemed to enjoy it. The only thing is it's very bias to the Democratic party and talks a lot about the bad things that have come about it over the last few years, while bringing in the story of Bernie Sanders. While this will probably be less bough after the election, I still think it's a good read if you want to learn more about him in a fun quick way.

    As said above, Bernie in a nutshell. I especially appreciated the concise analysis of the political developments leading up to today's resurgence of progressive ideas. I had learned a lot about the right's tactics to sew up the lower levels of government in order to basically undermine it, and to gain power disproportionate to their strength in society, but I did not have such a clear picture of the Democratic party's abdication. As Ted says at the end, woe to us if the slings and arrows and dirty tricks do derail this movement and plunge another generation into apathy. The clearheaded and brave will soldier on, but many will give up on the political process. Democracy is a fragile creation, and can only survive, as Bernie is showing us, when the ordinary citizen has a fair shake at a decent living. If you like this, I strongly suggest you check out The Smart Bunny's Guide to Debt, Deficit and Austerity, by Arliss Bunny (on Kindle). If more of us understood that higher taxes on big money are not how we pay for things, but rather the way to force money to circulate and be available for all to earn, it might help!

    I am a fan of Bernie Sanders, and I am hoping that he will run for office in the 2020 presidential election. For that reason, I wanted to learn as much about his life and his political background as I possibly could. "Bernie" is a well designed, "comic book" style presentation of his life history. Ted Rall researched his subject well, and the book is easy to read in one sitting. Well worth the time and the cost to acquire it!

    An easily accessible biography of Sanders in a graphic book.

    Rall does it again! He produces a graphic book that explores the background of Sanders, and how his politics developed.

    I found it to be an informative and engaging book.

    Reviewed in Canada on July 8, 2016
    I love Ted Rall's style even when I (rarely) disagree with him. He is a nearly faultlessly well researched newshound that brings fearless criticism and insightful satire that, for my money, elevates the discussion of politics every time. To see a book written with such affection for Bernie after a career notable for pulling no punches, it makes me think that Bernie may be rare person in politics that is as good as the hype.
