Über diesen Titel
U.S. senator Charlie Martin is a hot political property, dashing, honorable, irreverent -- and a decorated Vietnam veteran. The Running Mate follows this brash hero on a wild, exhilarating ride through the minefields of politics as usual.
But as Charlie quickly learns, combat is a cakewalk compared with the battles waged by free men in pursuit of glory and power. For Charlie's political star is beginning to wane ... a bid for the presidency ends in failure ... a young campaign volunteer's father decks him -- in front of the cameras ... a well-kept secret from Charlie's Vietnam days is revealed ... and a woman has entered his life -- one who loves him but is appalled by his life's work.
Suddenly Charlie must confront the two greatest challenges of his life -- a political opponent who has no scruples and a dazzling, unconventional woman who may force him to choose between love and politics. Charlie's dilemma is one that has come to haunt contemporary American politics: Is it possible to be a good politician and a good man?©2000 Machiavelliana, Inc.; (P)2000 Random House, Inc.; Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio Publishing, a Division of Random House, Inc.
Kritikerstimmen
Praise for Primary Colors:
"An absolutely dazzling book, the best political novel in many years, one that manages to be simultaneously cynical and redemptive, funny and profound, reportorial, satirical, and thrilling."
--Christopher Buckley, The New Yorker
"Breaks all the rules and lives to tell about it...there is a wonderful honesty about Primary Colors, a refusal to give into the conventional interpretation of people and events that cripples so much that is written about politics."
--Michael Lewis, The New York Times Book Review
"This sensitively wrought, deftly drawn, acid-tongued political novel...is the best aides' eye view of politics since All the King's Men."
--Walter Shapiro, Time
"The dialogue throws sparks, capturing perfectly the lingo of political professionals.... [The author] is a writer of considerable gifts; he has intimate knowledge of the political world."
--Andrew Ferguson, The Wall Street Journal
"A delight to read. The author knows politics...and writes like a dream."
--Alex Beam, The Boston Globe
"The rollicking new satire... Primary Colors gives the reader an entertaining, inside and often very funny look at the daily workings of a political campaign."
--Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"[The author] has matched Teddy White. Nowadays, only fiction can do justice to the truth."
--Richard Cohen, The Washington Post
