It is a treasury of moments caught alive
The ten-year- old boy watching the news on his families
first television set.
The young candidate in the Arkansas hills who went looking
for votes on a Saturday night at midnight at a beer joint in Joiner!
The roller coaster ride of the 1992 campaign.
The delicate manipulation needed to convince Rabin
and Arafat to shake hands for the camera while keeping
Arafat from kissing Rabin.
The extraordinarily frank exchanges with Newt Gingrich
and Bob Dole.
The cost, both public and private, of the scandal that
threatened the presidency.
Here within this book is the life of a great national and
international figure, who revealed with all his talents and
contradictions, told openly, directly, in his own
completely recognizable voice
.
A unique book by a unique American.
