Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Remember Whitewater? Well, yes, that was about 11 Clinton scandals ago, and less serious than some of its successors. In this book, James B. Stewart, who won the Pulitzer Prize for his book about the Boesky-Milken days on Wall Street, Den of Thieves, provides a unified, novelistic account of the Clintons' Arkansas financial wheeling-dealing. It is useful reading in that it serves up the tell-tale psychology that, no doubt, is behind all the Clinton controversies: Bill and Hillary's desire to make big money (legally) without being seen as the kind of people who would try to.

From Scientific American

Stewart has provided what the discussion of the Whitewater morass badly needs: coherence. A shrewd and lucid stylist, Stewart makes connections among events that came to public notice in bafflingly random ways.

Stewart is a terrific reporter and a clear writer

Stewart is a terrific reporter and a clear writer. Very well done exploration of the Clinton scandals, objective but direct. Stewart tries to let the facts tell the story but his comments when made are balanced and fair, critical when appropriate but also careful to point out when criticisms are just not supported by the facts. Caution: the book ends before the Starr report was published so the book does not cover everything you might be expecting. Monika and her stained dress do not appear.

Would Bill Clinton be elected in today's political arena? This book details the world of small minded Arkansas and the Clintons ' cohorts during Bill and Hillary's climb into the national political spotlight. Intrigue, suspicion, ignorance, lies, this book has it all. Shocked though the Lewinsky debacle isn't mentioned.

An interesting book now during the election year. An objective account of the Clintons and some of the episodes that got them into trouble. It gives a new perspective on HRC’s “vast right wing conspiracy,” that was worth reading since I hadn’t paid attention before.

It's a very non-partisan view of what occurred both before and during the Clinton presidency. Very eye opening account from all different angles.

Read it and loved it. It is a real 'history' of the antics of the Clinton's...thought we'd read (wife and I) before Hillary announces formally, if she does. After reading this, it would seem that she would be foolish to do so, given the unscrupulous things, dishonest things, and just morally wrong things, she has done. She is able to lie and deceive without blinking an eye, and is given to aggression against anyone questioning her past. This is a bad news lady, but a well written book. But for the grace of their pals around Washington, both Clintons would be in jail, were they named anything else.....read it and decide for yourself. Author is still putting out #1 Bestsellers, and he has no axe to grind...'just the facts, m'am'! I recommend

More timely now than it was in '97

I understand there is no intelligence requirement prior to voting, but at the very least this book should be mandatory reading before the upcoming election.
People should know that James Stewart was actually invited by Hillary Clinton to write this expose. When the truth became far less flattering than she would have scripted she attempted to control the author's work.
Mr. Stewart refused any intervention and went on to publish the book with out the blessing of the wicked witch of the east.
The attention to detail is flawless. The accuracy is frightening and the truth is impossible to ignore.

No lessons learned?

So interesting to read this just before the 2016 elections. Stewart is a great investigator and author; I've enjoyed all his books and his ability to organize material and present it with clarity. This book covers a tremendous amount of material and analyzes it well.

I truly hope there is a sequel in the works, regardless of the outcome of this election. It seems that the Clintons learned very little over the past 20+ years, and it would be a great read if Stewart can pick up where he left off.

Of course, a Stewart book on the Republican candidate would be fascinating, as well!
