Containing anecdotes from the marital and political lives of ten post-war US presidents and their wives, this book examines the intimate relationships and not-so-intimate politics of White House couples. The modern First Lady does her own campaigning, travelling, lobbying and handling of the media, and the First Couple has become as much a political partnership as a romantic and companionate one. The author offers advice for the Clintons for their second presidential term, and explores the social and electoral tensions embodied in the nation's foremost paragons - and pariahs - of public and private leadership.
