Synopsis
The best-selling, award-winning biographer's insightful, balanced, engaging, and much anticipated history of Clinton's first term in office describes his extraordinary effort to be a modern president, in a modern world—from the disastrous first few months to his triumphant reelection in 1996.
The Observer
Scintillating biography, Hamilton's specialty, with a few nods to psychoanalysis, lies not just in telling us what happened but why and how it happened. As he follows William Jefferson Clinton from straitened beginnings to glorious success, he tries to burrow inside the man, to think as he thought, to see through his eyes the decisions that had to be made.
