Fine unread condition black boards, black cloth spine, and gold front cover and spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Sidney Blumenthal; Author Dedication; Acknowledgments and Index. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "This major new book - part history, part memoir - is the riveting inside account of the presidency of William Jefferson Clinton. When in 1997 Clinton appointed Sidney Blumenthal as a senior adviser, the writer who had been covering the Washington political scene for more than a decade was catapulted into the front lines of the Clinton wars. From his first day in the White House until long after his appearance as the only presidential aide ever to testify in an impeachment trial, Blumenthal participated in nearly all the battles of the Clinton years. The Clinton Wars begins in 1987, when Bill Clinton was starting to think of running for the presidency and when Blumenthal first met him. The chronicle of Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign and first term draws on the author's experiences as confidant to both the President and the First Lady, and is enriched with previously unpublished revelations about both. Blumenthal's remarkable personal interpretation goes far in explaining the polarizing nature of Clinton's presence on the national scene. The narrative of Clinton's second term is even more dramatic. Blumenthal takes special note of the battle waged within the media between the President's detractors and his defenders, which he expands into a vivid picture of Washington society torn apart by warring factions. But he does not neglect the wars fought on other fronts - the devastating war in Kosovo; Clinton's political conflicts in the Congress; his crusade to sustain a fiscally sound economic policy that would foster prosperity; and, of course, his struggle against the impeachment charges brought against him. Blumenthal's remarkable book also includes firsthand accounts of the President's special relationship with Tony Blair, of Hillary Rodham Clinton's Senate campaign in New York, and of the fight to elect Al Gore in 2000, with its incredible denouement in Florida. It ends with an eloquent assessment of what the Clinton legacy means for the future of American politics. Every page of this unrivaled, authoritative book, with its intimate insights into Clinton's personality and politics, attests to Blumenthal's literary skill, profound understanding of politics, and unique perspective on crucial events of our recent past. The chronicle of a generation's political odyssey, The Clinton Wars is a lasting contribution to American history." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.…

Description de la boutique
Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
