"I realized something that should have been apparent to me much earlier: I was in the middle of a plot to get the president."
A quarter of a century after Woodward and Bernstein stunned the nation with All the President's Men, Newsweek reporter Michael Isikoff gives us an equally explosive behind-the-scenes account of the scandals that have rocked President Clinton's second term.
Isikoff, who is credited with breaking the Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, and Monica Lewinsky stories, is universally acknowledged as the leading reporter who brought to light the revelations about Clinton's personal and political lives that have consumed this country and shocked the world. As a reporter for the Washington Post and Newsweek, Isikoff has established himself as an astute observer and chronicler of Clinton's conduct throughout his presidency, following a trail of presidential misconduct from Little Rock, Arkansas, to the Oval Office. Uncovering Clinton will surely be the definitive account of our nation's biggest political scandal since Watergate.
