Primary Colors - the #1 national bestseller with all the dramatic power, humor, psychological acuity, and insider knowledge of modern American electoral politics - is now a major motion picture from Universal.

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.

Review:

The famous -- or infamous -- roman a clef about the 1992 Clinton presidential campaign. You've read the hype; now read the book.

Primary Colors has its rich rewards as a savvy insider's look at life on the stump. But it travels far beyond mere gossip and expose and discovers a convincing world of its own, peopled by smart cookies, nutcases, and wheeler-dealers, whose public and private lives illuminate each other -- sometimes by casting dark shadows. This story spans the novelistic spectrum from bedroom farce to high moral drama, and it paints a picture of the political state of the nation so vivid and authentic that one finds in it the deepest kind of truth -- the kind of truth that only fiction can tell.
