Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In this relentlessly negative biography, former New York Post editor Carpozi accuses Bill Clinton and "co-president" Hillary of engaging in evasive, unethical and "most probably criminal" behavior from the days of the Arkansas governorship to the present White House. He labels as a probable murder the purported suicide of White House counsel Vincent Foster, Hillary Clinton's former law partner. Citing 17 other deaths under suspicious circumstances (e.g., Governor Clinton's security chief, Luther Parks, gunned down in 1993, who was said to be writing an expose of Bill Clinton's licentious life), Carpozi charges that these deaths were linked to the Clintons' efforts to cover up their Whitewater land deals, illegal campaign contributions and other shady business ventures. He alleges that Governor Clinton received huge amounts of money as compensation for his hands-off policy toward a CIA-orchestrated arms-shipment and cocaine-smuggling operation that was run out of the Mena, Arkansas, airport and that abetted the Nicaraguan contras. Carpozi weakens his indictments by including unsubstantiated allegations concerning Bill Clinton's extramarital affairs. Though mean-spirited and ultimately tedious, this bio raises serious charges that should not be ignored. Photos. $100,000 ad/promo; author tour.

Review

"... Clinton Confidential ... by veteran journalist and writer George Carpozi, Jr., makes Bob Woodward's The Agenda read like a paean to the Clinton Presidency..." -- Neal Travis, New York Post

"Carpozi is the archetypal police reporter, tough with a core of sentiment ... Carpozi ... is closer to Damon Runyon than Tom Wolfe in his style." -- Los Angeles Times reviewer Robert Kirsch on George Carpozi, Jr's Ordeal by Trial The Alice Crimmins Case

"Oh, this unauthorized ... bare-knuckle stuff .. this big-bang bio ... leaves no Clinton unturned..." -- Cindy Adams, syndicated columnist

2.0 out of 5 stars This author throws it all against the wall, and some sticks, November 30, 1998
By A Customer
I detest the conduct of Bill Clinton. I disliked some things about this book. Primarily, that the author threw a ton of stuff against the wall, to see how much of it would stick. In doing so, some does, and a lot doesn't. Therein lies the problem: making accusations which lack substantiation or a volume of compelling circumstantial evidence, helps rather than hinders the Clintons. The book relies too much on rumor and innuendo to truly succeed. I have gained much better information and enjoyment from the Slick Willie books, the Year of the Rat book, Dave Marrannis First In His Class, No Surprises, and even The Clinton Chronicles book. The book's redeeming value is that you will read some things you probably haven't before, and a few of them have credible facts and evidence. These are in the minority, however.
