Comment: There are a lot of references in this article, but as far as notability of the book itself is concerned, I don't see a single useful source - even the Kirkus review is Kirkus Indie (this is paid coverage, and not independent).

In Defense of Joe Manchin is a 2023 book by Alex Gruenenfelder.[2][3] Written by a progressive activist and former political candidate,[4][5][6] the book is a polemic in support of moderate Democratic U.S. Senator Joe Manchin, who has received substantial criticism from the American left-wing.[7][8][9] The only book about the controversial Manchin,[3] it received generally positive reviews, which included praise from Kirkus Reviews for its “cogent and well-argued case for an oft-maligned politician.”[10]
The book’s primary goal was to encourage Manchin’s candidacy in the 2024 United States Senate election in West Virginia,[11] which Manchin subsequently declined to run for reelection in.[12][13][14] The paperback edition of the book, released in November 2023, included a new foreword by the author that pressed the case for bipartisanship as even more important now and suggested that Manchin had the necessary qualities for a run for President of the United States.[15]
