The Running Mate by Joe Klein book

Hailed as "astonishingly powerful" by The New York Times, and "written perfectly" by The Washington Post, Primary Colors, with over one million hardcover copies in print, was the most- talked-about political novel of the past century. The brilliant portrait of a charming, ambitious, amoral young Southerner on his way to the White House struck an instantly recognizable chord, and catapulted Anonymous--aka New Yorker Washington correspondent Joe Klein--into the public eye as a novelist of the first rank. 416 pages
