The Clinton Wars by Sid Blumenthal
This is an insider's account of Clinton's years in the White House. The author, formerly a political journalist, held the title Assistant to the President from 1997-2001, which in effect meant that he was minister without portfolio, intellectual in residence and political strategist. He was also personal advisor to the President and First Lady. Blumenthal is therefore well-placed to tell the real story of the presidency, from the Monica Lewinsky affair (he had conversations morning to night with Bill and Hillary the day the story broke) to the relationship with Tony Blair (Blumenthal is credited with introducing the two men and helping cement the relationship). The text is at once a memoir and a reference for future historians.
Prior to his position as Assistant to the President, Sidney Blumenthal was a distinguished journalist, author and playwright, working chiefly on the staff of The Washington Post, as well as The New Yorker, The New Republic and Vanity Fair. He is the previous author of five acclaimed books: The Permanent Campaign, The Rise Of The Counter-Establishment, Our Long National Daydream, The Reagan Legacy and Pledging Allegiance.
