The Red and the Blue: The 1990s and the Birth of Political Tribalism: Kornacki, Steve, Butler, Ron

The Red and the Blue by Steve Kornacki is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the political landscape of the 1990s and its lasting impact on today's politics.

This book provides a comprehensive and engaging account of the twin paths of Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich, two larger-than-life politicians who shaped the decade with their bare-knuckled brawls and massive policy shifts.

With novelistic prose and a clear sense of history, Kornacki masterfully weaves together the various elements of this rambunctious era, including Mario Cuomo's presence around Clinton's 1992 campaign, Hillary Clinton's star turn during the 1998 midterms, and Ross Perot's wild run in 1992 that inspired Donald Trump's first taste of electoral politics.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding how the political battles of the 1990s continue to shape our current political landscape.
