Man of the World: The Further Endeavors of Bill Clinton

Description

“A rich, believable portrait of a master politician out of office: needy,
rivalrous, thin-skinned, proud, hot-tempered.” —The New York Review of Books
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. Read more
