Even all these years later, the Clinton-Whitewater-Lewinsky saga is compelling reading, for so many reasons. While it is clear that Toobin feels that Clinton was attacked and judged far too harshly for the particular "crime" he committed by trysting with Monica Lewinsky, neither does Clinton's repeated boorish behavior get him (Clinton) off the hook with the author. Many of the multitude of books on the subject seem to present either a viciously anti-Clinton picture, or a total apology for Clinton's behavior, but this one manages to toe the middle line pretty well. Toobin is above all an excellent writer, and the story is still so inherently fascinating that it's difficult to put this one down.
