Search - Clinton Wars

Clinton Wars
Author: Sidney Blumenthal

This major new book--part history, part memoir--is the riveting inside account of the presidency of William Jefferson Clinton. When in 1997 Clinton appointed Sidney Blumenthal as senior advisor, the writer who had been covering the Washington political scene for more than a decade was catapulted into the front lines of The Clinton Wars. From his... more » first day in the White House until long after his appearance as the only presidential aide ever to testify in an impeachment trial, Blumenthal participated in nearly all the battles of the Clinton years. The Clinton Wars begins in 1987, when Bill Clinton was starting to think of running for the presidency and when Blumenthal first met him. The chronicle of Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign and first term draws on the author's experiences as confidant to both the President and the First Lady, and is enriched with previously unpublished revelations about both. Blumenthal's remarkable personal interpretation goes far in explaining the polarizing nature of Clinton's presence on the national scene. The narrative of Clinton's second term is even more dramatic. Blumenthal takes special note of the battle waged within the media between the President's detractors and his defenders, which he expands into a vivid picture of Washington society torn apart by warring factions. But he does not neglect the wars fought on other fronts--the devastating war in Kosovo; Clinton's political conflicts in the Congress; his crusade to sustain a fiscally sound economic policy that would foster prosperity; and, of course, his struggle against the impeachment charges brought against him. Blumenthal's remarkable book also includes firsthand accounts of the President's special relationship with Tony Blair, of Hillary Rodham Clinton????????s Senate campaign in New York, and of the fight to elect Al Gore in 2000, with its incredible denouement in Florida. It ends with an elquent assessment of what the Clinton legacy means for the future of American politics. Every page of the unrivaled, authoritative book, with its intimate insights into Clinton's personality and politics, attests to Blumenthal's literary skill, profound understanding of politics, and unique perspective on crucial events of our recent past. The chronicle of a generation's political odyssey, The Clinton Wars is a lasting contribution to American history.
