  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, Alfred A. Knopf, 2007
  • Description

    Carl Bernstein?s stunning portrait of Hillary Rodham Clinton shows us, as nothing else has, the true trajectory of her life and career with its zigzag bursts of risks taken and safety sought. Bernstein clarifies the often amazing dynamic of their marriage, shows us the extent to which Hillary has been instrumental in the triumphs and troubles of Bill Clinton?s governorship and presidency, and sheds light on her own political brilliance and her blind spots?especially her suspicion and mishandling of the press and her overt hostility to the opposition that clouded her entry into the capital. In the emotional and political chaos of the Lewinsky affair we see Hillary, despite her immense hurt and anger, standing by her husband?evoking a rising wave of sympathy from a public previously cool to her.

Ritchie, author of Reporting from Washington: The History of the Washington Press Corps “Williams describes the Civil War editor and politician Horace Greeley as a ‘great mind and heart.’ I agree. Horace Greeley is as rigorous and vast as Greeley himself, and as America itself in the long nineteenth century. In the first comprehensive biography of Greeley to be published in nearly half a century, Williams captures Greeley from all sides: editor, reformer, political candidate, eccentric, and trans-Atlantic public intellectual; (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
