About this title

Review:

Absent a royal family, the American people have developed a thirst for subjects for gossip from on high. In Bill and Hillary Clinton, they have them. Roger Morris charges the first family with misdeeds committed while upon the throne in Arkansas: Bill taking money from Whitewater partner James McDougal; Hilary using well-connected brokers to win fabulous returns on her investments; the governor's affairs; and their friendship with a drug-dealing bond daddy, to name a few. Those after the dirt on the Clintons will love this wheelbarrow full of it.

From the Publisher:

After resigning from Nixon's National Security Council in protest over the Vietnam War, ROGER MORRIS left the White House for a distinguished career as a historian and investigative journalist. Fellow scholar Geoffrey Ward calls him "that rare and precious thing in public life, a former government official who actually gave up his job on a matter of principle." Among Morris's recent honors are a Guggenheim fellowship and the coveted Bronze Medal for the finest investigative journalism in all media nationwide. He holds a doctorate in government from Harvard University, served as a foreign service officer, and acted as senior aide to Dean Acheson, President Lyndon Johnson, and Senator Walter Mondale. Roger Morris is the author of Richard Milhous Nixon: The Rise of an American Politician, a finalist for the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award and acclaimed by the critics as:

"The most detailed and authoritative reconstruction of Nixon's career we have ever had." - Robert Dallek, Los Angeles Times Book Review (front page)

"Massive ... powerful ... absorbing. It will no longer be possible to damn or defend Mr. Nixon without reference to this great locomotive of a work." , - Kevin Starr, The New York Times Book Review

"STUNNING.... The most revealing portrait of the man anyone has yet written.... A masterpiece of reconstruction." - Alan Brinkley, The New Republic
