Gathered together in this volume is a treasure trove of unearthed cuttings, original records and rare artefacts that explore the unseen lives of those who died at Button House: from Thomas's love letters to Pat's ‘Summer Camp Rap’, and from Julian's campaign promises to Lady Button's Rules of Etiquette.

In The Running Mate, Joe Klein—the New Yorker Washington correspondent who catapulted into the public eye as the "Anonymous" author of Primary Colors—takes the listener on an exuberant, wicked, and unerringly wise political journey with Senator Charlie Martin, a decorated veteran of the war in Vietnam.

And then Charlie's life begins to fall apart

Senator Charlie Martin's dilemma is one that has come to haunt contemporary American politics: Is it possible to be a good politician and a good man? Can you live in the public glare and still construct a habitable life? This intriguing tale is the latest from the "Anonymous" author of Primary Colors.
