Primary Colors: A Novel of Politics - Anonymous

Primary Colors portrays a convincing world of its own, peopled by smart cookies, nut cases, and wheeler-dealers, whose public and private lives illuminate each other--sometimes by casting dark shadows. The story paints a picture of the political state of the nation so vivid that one finds in it the deepest kind of truth, the kind of truth only fiction can tell. nA brilliant and penetrating look behind the scenes of modern American politics, Primary Colors is a funny, wise, and dramatic story with characters and events that resemble some familiar, real-life figures. When a former congressional aide becomes part of the staff of the governor of a small Southern state, he watches in horror, admiration, and amazement, as the governor mixes calculation and sincerity in his not-so-above-board campaign for the presidency.
