Synopsis

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.

Goodreads review by Alexw on March 15, 2022

James insists that Gore beat Bu......more

Goodreads review by Christine on February 01, 2014

I never understood how these two could be married. I wouldn't even date a republican much less marry one. Republicanism and cannibalism are deal breakers for me. But I digress, this book is insightful, funny and informative. I thought I would be able to say, some of Mary's political beliefs make me......more

Goodreads review by Susan on November 13, 2019

Listened to this one on audiobook, and think that I probably enjoyed it more that way- the authors each read their own chapters- Matalin writes more than Carville, and you can hear Carville's impatience at reading his own words sometimes, but that's ok, because his wife is the better reader, and the......more

Goodreads review by Rick on February 15, 2014

I bought this book at the LBJ Library and had it signed. Mary and James were at a table, pens in hand, and no one in line. The moment was right and luckily I done in and grabbed a terrific read. The authors go back and forth and apply their wit, humor and smarts on a variety of topics. Their honesty......more
