Unfortunately, Sanders has never written a book outlining his political method or decision-making process (I wrote a short blog post that sketches out the barebones which is a shame because he has decades of political experience we could all learn from (lord knows I have). The closest thing is his Outsider in the House/Outsider in the White House which touches on why he gave up running as a spoiler after coming in third place in the 1986 gubernatorial election in Vermont.
