Columnist for TIME Joe Klein is one of America’s best political journalists, known for his provocative and probing analysis of events in our nation’s capital and abroad.
His weekly column, “In the Arena,” which covers national and international affairs, won the National Headliner Award for best magazine column. A veteran of nine presidential campaigns, Klein has been praised for his “dogged reporting, a thorough, subtle grasp of issues, and a clear-eyed, compelling style.”
In an age of "armchair columnists," he insists on reporting the facts for himself, traveling to war zones overseas — including frequent trips to Afghanistan, Iran and the Middle East — and on campaign buses at home, in search of the truth. He is the rare political junkie who loves the intricacies of policy-making, has extensive sources not only in the U.S. Government, but throughout the world, and is at home in Damascus as he is in Des Moines.
As “Anonymous,” he wrote the #1 bestseller, Primary Colors, which The New York Times Book Review called “one of the best political novels to appear in the latter half of the 20th Century” and became a major motion picture. His other books include The Running Mate, The Natural: The Misunderstood Presidency of Bill Clinton (a New York Times bestseller), and his latest book, Politics Lost.
He is a former Guggenheim Fellow and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. His popular blog, "Swampland," is read internationally, and he appears frequently on The Chris Matthews Show, CNN and MSNBC.
