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] 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.[4][5][6] 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.”[7]
The book’s primary goal was to encourage Manchin’s candidacy in the 2024 United States Senate election in West Virginia,[8] which Manchin subsequently declined to run for reelection in.[9][10][11] 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 to run for President of the United States.[12]
