Blind Allegiance': Former Palin Aide Tell-All Book to Hit Shelves May 24

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (The Blaze/AP) -- When a book is called "Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin," you can guess it's not a happy story.

An imprint of Simon & Schuster announced Monday that it had signed up "Blind Allegiance," a long-rumored tell-all by former Palin aide Frank Bailey. The imprint, Howard Books, will release Bailey's book May 24. Excerpts from an early draft were leaked to reporters earlier this year.

Bailey worked with Palin while she was governor of Alaska and when she was John McCain's running mate on the Republican presidential ticket in 2008.

In a leaked manuscript of the book in February, Bailey accused Palin of saying "I hate this damn job" in reference to her position as Alaska's former governor. He also accused her of working illegally with the Republican Governors Association during her campaign for that job in 2006.

Howard Books is calling "Blind Allegiance" a "chilling expose." Author Ken Morris and Alaska political blogger Jeanne Devon helped write the book.
