Love & War: Twenty Years, Three Presidents, Two Daughters and One Louisiana Home

For twenty years, James Carville and Mary Matalin have held the mantle of the nationâ‚¬s most politically opposed, ideologically mismatched, and intensely opinionated couple. In this follow-up to their groundbreaking Allâ‚¬s Fair: Love, War, and Running for President, Carville and Matalin take a look at how theyâ‚¬"and Americaâ‚¬"have changed in the last two decades. If nothing else, this new collaboration proves that after twenty years of marriage they can still manage to agree on a few things.
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Love & War traces, in their two distinct voices, James and Maryâ‚¬s story from the end of the 1992 presidential campaignâ‚¬"where he managed Bill Clintonâ‚¬s electoral triumph while she suffered defeat as George H. W. Bushâ‚¬s key strategistâ‚¬"till now. Mary focuses on issues of family, faith, and foreign enemies and offers insights from her kitchen table as well as the White House Cabinet Room, while Jamesâ‚¬s concentration is politics and loveâ‚¬"the triumphant and troubled Clinton era, George W. Bushâ‚¬s complicated presidency, the election of Barack Obama, the rise of the corrosive partisanship that dominates political life in Washington today, and the overriding abiding romance he holds for his native Louisiana and his wife and children. Together, the Carville-Matalins reflect on raising two daughters in the pressure cooker of the nationâ‚¬s capital, and their momentous 2008 decision to leave D.C. and move their family to New Orleans. Post-Katrina, James and Maryâ‚¬s efforts to rebuild and promote that city have become a central part of their livesâ‚¬"and a poignant metaphor for moving the nation forward.
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 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 nationâ‚¬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.
