James "The Ragin' Cajun" Carville is America's best-known political consultant. His long list of electoral successes evidences a knack for steering overlooked campaigns to unexpected landslide victories and for re-making political underdogs into upset winners.

His winning streak began in 1986, when he managed the gubernatorial victory of Robert Casey in Pennsylvania. In 1987, Carville helped guide Wallace Wilkinson to the governor's seat in Kentucky. Carville continued his winning streak with wins in New Jersey with Frank Lautenberg elected to the US Senate. He next managed the successful 1990 gubernatorial campaign of Georgia's Lieutenant Governor Zell Miller, including a tough primary win over Atlanta mayor Andrew Young, and in 1991, Carvillewho had already become prominent in political circles, drew national attention when he led Senator Harris Wofford from 40 points behind in the polls to an upset landslide victory over former Pennsylvania Governor and U.S. Attorney General Richard Thornburgh. His most prominent victory was in 1992 when he helped William Jefferson Clinton win the presidency.

Carville now discusses with audiences what effects political division will have on both political parties, the race for the White House, and our country for decades to come. In addition to his expertise in domestic politics, Carville has also worked on international campaigns in more than 23 countries, including those of 14 heads of state. He is also a columnist for The Hill newspaper, which publishes daily when Congress is in session, and the author of numerous books, including It’s the "Middle Class, Stupid!" and "All’s Fair: Love, War, and Running for President," written with his wife and favorite debate partner Mary Matalin.

In their second joint memoir, "Love and War: Twenty Years, Three Presidents, Two Daughters and One Louisiana Home," Carville and Matalin take a look at how they—and America—have changed in the last two decades. In their two distinct voices, they pick up their story from the end of the 1992 Presidential campaign to their new life in New Orleans today, where their efforts to rebuild and promote that city have become a central part of their lives—and a poignant metaphor for moving the nation forward. Carville’s latest book, "We’re Still Right, They’re Still Wrong," updates his 1996 New York Times bestseller with a thoughtful, sharp analysis of Hillary Clinton, the Democratic Party, Donald Trump, and the 2016 presidential race.
