The Clinton Crack-Up: The Boy President's Life After the White House

Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The truth about the most important woman in AmericaIn Her Way, two Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times investigative journalists deliver: Previously undisclosed details about the Clinton's multi-decade plan for powerincluding 8 years in the White House for Bill and 8 years for Hillary Never-before-revealed information about Hillary's involvement in her husband's campaigns - including cover-ups and the truth about Bill's draft record New details regarding Hillary's rivalry with Al Gore - and why it is likely to heat up. Provocative new information about Hillary's vote to authorize the Iraq War, and the steps she has taken to distance herself from that vote Revelations about Bill Clinton's role in Hillary's campaign and his surprising opinion of Barack Obama New details of Hillary's failure to adhere to Senate ethics rules, and what this says about her political empireShe is one of the most influential and recognizable figures in our country, and perhaps the single most divisive individual in our political landscape. She has been the subject of both hagiography and vitriolic smear jobs. But although dozens of books have been written about her, none of them have come close to uncovering the real Hillary--personal, political, in all her complications. Now, as she make her historic run for the presidency, Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporters Jeff Gerth and Don Van Natta Jr. bring us the firstcomprehensive and balanced portrait of the most important woman in American politics. Drawing upon myriad new sources and previously undisclosed documents, Her Way shows us how, like many women of her generation, Hillary Rodham Clinton tempered a youthful idealism with the realities of corporate America and big-league politics. It takes readers from the dorm rooms at Wellesley to the courthouses of Arkansas and Washington; to the White House and role as First Lady like none other; inside the back rooms of the Senate, where she expertly navigates the political and legislative shoals; to her $4 million mansion in Washington, where she presides over an unparalleled fundraising machine; and to her war room, from whichshe orchestrates ferocious attacks against her critics. Throughout her career, she has been alternately helped and hindered by her marriage to Bill Clinton. Her Way unravels the mysteries of their political partnership--one of the most powerful and enigmatic in American history. It also explains why Hillary is such a polarizing figure. And more than any other book, it reveals what her ultimate hopes and ambitions are--for herself and for America.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

- Excellent Biography of HRC
Her Way is the single best biography published to date about Hillary Rodham Clinton to date. The authors present Clinton as a master of Machiavellian maneuvering, moving up from being the wife of an ambitious politician to becoming a leading public official in her own right.

The authors of this book are especially good at explaining such matters as Whitewater, Madison Guaranty and Savings and Loan as well as Clinton's success on the futures market. The authors also show how Clinton messed up on the health care reform front.

Although the 2008 election season may be all over and done with, Her Way remains an invaluable look at an important American politician.

- HRC - a life in politics
The Book: Not a Hillary (or Clinton) bashing book at all - very fair.
Its a well written, well researched compilation of the life and political career of HRC. They left nothing out. I even printed a Clinton White House time-line just to keep up with some of the chapters that jumped around a bit.
I learned allot about today's politics in Washington. How polititicians constantly position themselves on the issues in order to remain in good standing with their constituents and keep their jobs. The book makes it clear that the Clintons (especially Hillary) do this more profoundly then anyone one else. They have crafted it into an art form consisting of lying, telling half-truths, only taking partial responsibility (if any at all) on things gone wrong, blaming others, etc.

- An Objective Overview
Pulitzer Prize-Winning `New York Times' reporters Jeff Gerth and Don Van Natta, Jr. analyze Hillary Clinton's personal and public life. With their investigative background they delve into her years in Arkansas, the White House, the U.S. Senate and as a 2008 presidential candidate. The authors conducted interviews and researched documents in order to objectively portray Clinton's legislative career, faith-based social activism, and marriage. Though the book is powerfully written, there is not much new information shared if you have been keeping up with all the books released on the Clinton's. What makes this book different is that is written by two writers of mainstream press.

- Gerth and Van Natta are not the most neutral of guides
The prologue to Jeff Gerth and Don Van Natta Jr.'s book ends with two ominous-sounding sentences: "For decades, Hillary and Bill Clinton, along with a core group of friends and supporters, have told one story. Now it is time for another."

Ouch! That tone of literary voice will certainly set off alarm bells among Hillary Rodham Clinton's legions of admirers. Gerth and Van Natta are both veteran hard-nosed journalistic hands. Jeff Gerth was the point man at the New York Times in stirring up the Whitewater controversy that caused the Clintons incredible trouble before it blew over with no charges against them. They know where and how to dig for facts and underlying documentation. In this book they may acknowledge Hillary's strengths and strong points, but they seem mainly intent on ... Read More

- The book leaves out the old stuff and focuses more on her work as a Senator
This is the book to read if you want some straight reporting on Hillary's life and career. It covers everything from her youth through 2006 without ever become an attack piece or hagiography. A bit more than a third of the book is devoted to her work as a candidate and then as the junior Senator from New York.

At first, I found the early portions of the book unsatisfactory because the authors seem to be giving her every benefit of the doubt. For example, on page 79 they try to say that Hillary's work at the notoriously leftist Legal Services Corporation doesn't mean Hillary holds leftist values. The evidence? A quote from the ultra-extreme leftist Mickey Kantor saying, "From my perspective, she was very moderate." OK. He admits he was a flamethrower, why does that necessarily ... Read More
