“Engrossing...detailed and intimate.” —Publishers Weekly
“Absorbing” —Kirkus Reviews

Veteran political journalist Joe Conason brings you along with Bill Clinton, as the forty-second president blazes new paths in his post-presidential career.

It is unlike the second career of any other president: “Bill Clinton” is a global brand, rising from the dark days of his White House departure to become one of the most popular names in the world. Conason describes how that happened, examining Clinton’s achievements, his failures, his motivations, and his civilian life. He explains why Clinton’s ambitions for the world continue to inspire (and infuriate).

Conason, who has covered Clinton for twenty years, interviewed him many times for this book—as well as Hillary and Chelsea and many of his friends, aides, rivals, and supporters. He has travelled with Clinton to Africa, Haiti, Israel, and across America.

Clinton has earned tens of millions of dollars and raised billions for philanthropy, much of it from foreign sources, provoking questions about transparency and probity even as Hillary Clinton runs again for the presidency.

Conason closely examines the financial support from other countries, corporations, and wealthy individuals, while assessing the Clinton Foundation’s very real, far reaching achievements. He observes Clinton campaigning for his wife and asks: How would America’s very first First Gentleman fare in a Hillary Clinton White House?

Man of the World—starring the one and only Bill Clinton—tells the engrossing story of an extraordinary man who is still seeking to do good in the world.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“The author's often absorbing chronicle captures the energy and charisma of the former president as he turns to the admiring global community, launching a “frantic, peripatetic career as the world's best-paid public speaker” and finding a mission in his philanthropic work in Africa, Asia, and elsewhere. . . . the book offers sharp insights . . . The author offers many telling details.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“Conason shows his writing and research chops to full advantage in this engrossing look at former president Bill Clinton in his post-presidency years. From the book's first page—a detailed January 2001 snapshot of Clinton's first morning as a private citizen—the book grabs the reader's attention and holds on tight. . . . detailed and intimate . . . . Coming in the midst of a particularly fierce election season, this look at Clinton and his extraordinary work ethic may strike readers as almost poignant.” (Publishers Weekly)

“This deeply researched narrative about the 16 years since Bill Clinton left office sheds light on his strengths and weaknesses.” (The New York Times Book Review)

“A compelling portrait” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)

The Clintons

Bymarlene cooperon December 26, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I've read several books about the Clinton's. Don't usually read those that are obviously trash. This book details Bill Clinton's charitable work, clears up some of the untruths the Republicans only bother with when the Clintons put political pressure on them. Now that Hillary is out of the political picture I imagine the GOP will stop with the slandering remarks and let the Clintons live peacefully in the future. Politics has become a dirty game brought on by greed.

One of best of 2016

ByAmazon Customeron December 31, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

One of the most inspirational books of 2016. If you want to know more about the Clinton Foundation this journalist has talked to many people and tells it from all perspectives. I was amazed by all that the Clinton Foundation Staff in working with WHO and local foreign governments was able to accomplish in getting cheaper AID's drugs along with health care into impoverished countries.

Man of the World A Must for Clinton Supporters

Byreba shimanskyon October 18, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I found " Man of the World" to be a very engrossing and informative book. It is a pleasure to read a book about Bill Clinton that is not a hachet job. It is obvious that Conason has a close relationship with Bill Clinton and therefore provides inside information that you cannot find in any other book book about Bill Clinton. If you are a supporter of Bill Clinton this is a must read for you.

The Clintons are great public servants

ByDorothy Hoadleyon November 15, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The Clintons are great public servants. He doesnt need to make trips to Africa or Haiti or anywhere to see about those people. He could stay home and play golf.

Great but difficult to read without anger. I freely confess to a strong liberal bias, but a healthy reinforcement is still appreciate

One of best books on Bill Clinton

ByMary Ann Bouletteon October 14, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I have read almost everything written about Bill and Hillary Clinton. This book by Joe Conason is by far one of the best. It is neither a pro or anti Clinton book, it just tells the story as it happened a well written and entertaining narrative. It tells of problems as well as successes. President Clinton has done a lot for the entire world since leaving office and not enough people know this. The book will be one that I will give as gifts this Christmas.

Excellent journalism

BySallyon October 18, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Excellent book. Focuses mostly on President Clinton's work establishing the Clinton Foundation and its extraordinary work combating AIDS/HIV in the developing world. Not a puff piece, but excellent journalism on the true workings of the Foundation.
