Klein's intimate knowledge of the political system and the people who run it, as well as his unparalleled backroom access to leading figures, informs his dissection of the last thirty-five years of American politics as he shows how Democrats have lost the country's support and why the Republicans have, in so many instances, dominated the political agenda. In addition to his brilliant, if dismaying, analysis of the political landscape of the past three decades, he lays out a plan and a vision for what the next president must do to regain the trust of the country and turn politics back into an honest and passionate profession. In doing so, he has written a book that will define the run up to the 2008 presidential election and spark more debate than any political book of this or the next few seasons.

Astute, even-handed, and keenly intelligent, The Natural is the only book to read if you want to understand exactly what happened -- to the military, to the economy, to the American people, to the country -- during Bill Clinton's presidency, and how the decisions made during his tenure affect all of us today.

In The Running Mate, Joe Klein takes readers on a wickedly observant and entertaining journey behind the scenes of contemporary politics. This novel is about Senator Charlie Martin, a Vietnam War hero and hot political property. Facing an election year in this era of spin, marketing, and vicious personal assaults, Martin is forced to confront the two biggest challenges of his life: a charismatic political opponent who has no scruples and a dazzling, difficult woman who loves him, but is appalled by his life's work.

In Primary Colors, Henry Burton, a former congressional aide, is pressed into service as an assistant to Jack Stanton, the governor of a small Southern state who has set his sights on the presidency. Thus begins a rollicking adventure of backyard barbeques, draft-dodging dilemmas, sex and seduction scandals, and media mayhem. Combining familiar events with juicy behind-the-scenes gossip, the novel presents a unique picture of the politics of a nation which is at once tiredly cynical and hopefully idealistic.
