A look at the first year of Bill Clintons presidency,
By
This review is from: Highwire: From the Backwoods to the Beltway - The Education of Bill Clinton (Hardcover)
John Brummett is (was?) a journalist for one of the Arkansas papers. He covered Clinton as a governor and wrote this book to give others some perspective on the figure of Bill Clinton. This particular book was written while Clinton was serving his first year in office as president.Does the book offer anything new? In 1993 or 1994, it did. The author discusses the different issues that arose for the Clinton presidency and gives some explanation on what happened. He then puts Clinton's handling of the issue into perspective based on what he knows of Clinton in Arkansas. By reading the book, you see that Brummett does not seem to be surprised by anything he saw that first year. He does not cover Clinton's childhood; this book is not really a biography in that sense. It is merely an explanation of the first year in the White House. Would I recommend reading the book? Only if you were doing a research project on Clinton. This could give you some insights. Otherwise, After watching Clinton for eight years, you probably already have an idea of how Clinton handles political issues. |
