Clinton talks intimately over seven years to his long-time friend, a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, about what it's like to be president, highlighting major events from Clinton's two terms, including war in Bosnia, the anti-deficit crusade, health reform failure, anti-terrorist strikes, peace initiatives, the 1996 re-election campaign, and Whitewater investigations culminating in his 1999 impeachment trial.--Publisher description UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1001/2009502213-b.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1001/2009502213-d.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1001/2009502213-s.html ER -
