The biography explores the life of Woody Guthrie, an iconic American folk singer whose experiences were marked by both tragedy and resilience.

Through his struggles and artistry, Guthrie's legacy as a voice for the marginalized and a champion of social justice is vividly highlighted.
Klein, one of today's top political observers, has watched from the inside as consultants, pollsters, the twenty-four-hour cable news cycle, and the lack of courage in so many of our political leaders have chiseled away at Washington's integrity. Klein's intimate knowledge of the system and the people who run it, as well as his backroom access to leading figures, informs his dissection of the last thirty-five years of American politics. Klein still harbors hope for the future, and 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.--From publisher description.
Not forgetting Monica Lewinsky, this account explores every aspect of the Clinton presidency, both personal and political, and how the decisions made during his tenure affect all of us today. Klein explains how the White House functioned on the inside, how it dealt with the manoeuvres of Congress and the Gingrich revolution, and who held power and made the decisions during the endless crises that beset the administration. Klein's access to the White House over the years as a journalist gave him a prime spot from which to view every crucial event, and here he gives us his view of the period.
A 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.From the Hardcover edition.
Hailed as 'astonishingly powerful' by the New York Times, 'a superb novel' by the Daily Telegraph and 'written perfectly' by the Washington Post, PRIMARY COLOURS was the most talked about political novel of the last decades of the twentieth century.

Was waren das für Zeiten, als Franz-Josef Strauß und Herbert Wehner wort-gewaltig über die großen Fragen der Politik stritten, für ihre Überzeugungen fochten mit Florett, Degen oder Kanonen. Sie sind längst vorbei. Die Kunst der politischen Rede ist auf den Hund gekommen und damit die Politik selbst. Überzeugungen wurden durch Meinungsumfragen ersetzt, Charisma durch Wahlkampf-Management, politischer Instinkt durch Zielgruppenforschung und Medienanalysen. Politikberater beherrschen das Feld, die Politiker sind so austauschbar geworden wie ihre Parteien und Programme. Was im 'Mutterland der Demokratie' beklemmend weit vorangeschritten ist, greift auch bei uns lähmend um sich.
