Two decades after their mega-bestseller All's Fair, the nation's best-known and provocative political couple reveal the secrets of their marriage's success and how the nation has changed--and hasn't changed--since they first burst onto the national scene.

New York Times bestseller

Twenty years after the publication of the bestselling All’s Fair, James Carville and Mary Matalin look at how they—and America—have changed in the last two decades.
 
James Carville and Mary Matalin have long held the mantle of the nation’s most ideologically mismatched and intensely opinionated political couple. In this follow-up to All’s Fair, Carville and Matalin pick up the story they began in that groundbreaking bestseller and talk family, faith, love, and politics in their two winning voices. If nothing else, this new collaboration proves that after twenty years of marriage they can still manage to agree on a few things. A fascinating look at the last two decades in American politics and an intimate, quick-witted primer on grown-up relationships and values, Love & War provides unprecedented insight into one of our nation’s most intriguing and powerful couples. With their natural charm and sharp intelligence, Carville and Matalin have written undoubtedly the most spirited memoir of the year.

Praise for Love & War

Praise for ALL'S FAIR:

"Mary Matalin and James Carville reveal themselves in their new book to be tactical soul mates, with a zeal for political combat matched only by their mutual affection."--Los Angeles Times

"Anyone who appreciates improbable romances, political gossip and behind-the-curtain peeks into a presidential race should run out and buy All's Fair: Love, War and Running for President. [Matalin and Carville] are political technicians who live by their wits, energy and passion. They have a way with words. They work hard, play hard and drink hard, and that helps make parts of the book an entertaining read."--USA Today

"[In All's Fair] We get a vivid sense of being at the center of a high-stakes campaign: the pressure, the camaraderie, the hysteria, the tears. [Matalin and Carville] are both disarmingly candid. By describing their backgrounds, they persuade you of their commitment to their respective parties, and by painting appealing close-ups of Mr. Clinton and Mr. Bush, they convince you of their personal dedication."--New York Times

"All's Fair is entertaining, engaging and interesting. Matalin and Carville are outspoken if not calculatedly irreverent... a sassily argumentative tone is maintained along with a brisk narrative pace."--Washington Post

"The ultimate insider tale...takes the reader inside a presidential campaign as no other book has....Engrossing."--Robert Schmuhl, The Philadelphia Inquirer

"Fascinating reading, conveying the intensity that presidential campaigns entail."--Peter Robinson, San Francisco Chronicle

"A ruggedly honest look at the work and life of political operatives."--Walter Shapiro

"Solid insights into real-life American politics. Readers who want to know how big-time political campaigns really operate get an inside look."--Gregory M. Lamb, Christian Science Monitor
