A novel based on an insider's account of Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign. The anonymous author is reported to be someone close to the Clintons.

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.

From the Publisher:

Already, the movie everyone is talking about:

"An audience at a test screening . . . gave the film very high marks. On the internet, people who say they've seen the film have praised it lavishly." -The New York Times (1/26/98)
