Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:Novelist and political analyst Klein argues that for all the scandal
and political disappointments, Clinton's two terms in office quietly
made good times a little better and left no huge mess for the next
tenant to clean up.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Review:"[A] thoughtful assessment of the Clinton presidency in all its glory and infamy....A supremely fascinating look at a 'serious, substantive presidency.' No journalist is better matched to this subject than Klein, and his analysis deserves the wide attention it's bound to get." Kirkus Reviews Review:"[Klein] manages to rediscover Clinton and to do so with a remarkable lack of psychobabble....Klein is in equal parts appreciative of Clinton's skills and horrified by his excesses, but above all, he makes readers see that there were no heroes during the Clinton years." Ilene Cooper, Booklist (Starred review) Review:"Klein's new work stands as a solidly provisional overview of the prismatic Clinton presidency....Klein doesn't stint on caustic appraisals; even so, he emerges as a disappointed, bewildered, but awed Clintonian....[D]ense but tight, funny, adroitly written, and, in sum, the first savvy synthesis of the Clinton Age." William Kennedy, The New York Times Book Review Review:"Any one of Joe Klein’s skills — dogged reporting, a thorough, subtle grasp of issues, and a clear-eyed, compelling style — would make him the envy of most political journalists. By putting all of these skills to work on such a rich subject as Bill Clinton, Klein has produced the first indispensable book on the Clinton Presidency. He has performed the almost impossible task of fighting past the melodramas and sex farces to ask — and answer — the question so often obscured by the larger-than-life Clinton persona: 'What kind of President was this?' Friend or foe of the forty-second President, you will find your judgments challenged by this book." Jeff Greenfield, host of CNN's "Greenfield at Large" and author of Oh Waiter! One Order of Crow About the AuthorJOE KLEIN is a staff writer for the New Yorker and the author of the novels Primary Colors and The Running Mate and two non-fiction books–Woody Guthrie: A life and Payback: Five Marines After Vietnam.
