Synopsis

In this book journalists Joe Conason and Gene Lyons seeks to uncover the truth behind the millions of dollars that went into investigating the former President and First Lady between 1989 and 1999, culminating in the Monica Lewinsky scandal, the Kenneth Starr report and Clinton's impeachment. When Hillary Clinton spoke of "a vast, right-wing conspiracy" determined to bring down the President, her husband, many people simply dismissed the idead. Yet the fact that have emerged since then strongly suggest a concerted, covert effort by Bill Clinton's enemies to discredit him, aided by his own reckless behaviour. In 1989, Republican National Commitee chairman Lee Atwater first perceived the young Arkansas governor as a threat to Republican control of the White House, and the results was a cascade of well-financed attacks that undermined American democracy and nearly destroyed the Clinton presidency.
