Politics Lost: How American Democracy Was Trivialized by People Who Think You're Stupid
(April 2006)
|
| |
| 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.

Primary Colors : A Novel of Politics
|
| |
| 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. |
