Product Description

From a cold primary in New Hampshire to the victory party in Little Rock almost ten months later, The War Room takes viewers on a revealing, behind-the-scenes journey to the White House. This insightful look into one of the shrewdest, funniest, most sophisticated political machines ever takes on new meaning in light of subsequent revelations concerning President Bill Clinton. At the center of The War Room are two men who guide Clinton's presidential bid through all of its turmoil: James Carville, the fiery, charismatic, expletive-spewing Cajun who manages the campaign with a mixture of Southern charm and unrelenting passion; and George Stephanopolos, the brilliant, handsome Rhodes Scholar who, as communications director, calmly but surely mobilizes Clinton's staff to take the presidency. These two masterminds ingeniously maneuver the campaign past the controversy of Gennifer Flowers and the draft-dodging issue through such events as the Democratic National Convention, the debates with George Bush and H. Ross Perot, and the final, nail-biting days leading up to the election itself. The War Room is a compelling and enlightening look at two remarkable men and the monumental effort and determination that is required to conduct - and win - a political campaign in the modern age.
