Inside the Clinton White House

Inside the Clinton White House

Russell L. Riley

Oxford University Press Inc
2016
sidottu
The inner life of every White House is veiled in mystery. Only a select few partake in the sensitive discussions of the Oval Office or the casual banter about high policy and low politics conducted over the engine roar of Air Force One. The privilege of the president's confidence depends on the confidentiality of such exchanges while the president's term endures. Inside the Clinton White House, however, provides a front-row seat to that previously unknown history of the 42nd presidency. In the decade after Bill Clinton left the White House, scores of his political advisors, senior White House staff, and cabinet officials recorded oral history interviews with scholars working with the acclaimed Presidential Oral History Program at the University of Virginia's Miller Center. The contents of these interviews are published for the first time in this volume, selected and edited by Russell Riley, co-chair of the Oral History Program. The portraite of the Clinton presidency provided here is based on some 400 hours of conversations with more than sixty people. These interviews track Bill Clinton's emergence as a national political figure with the New Democrat movement, take the reader inside the hectic 1992 campaign, and then detail the ups and downs of life inside the Clinton White House as experienced by those who were there. Extended sections of the book are devoted to domestic policy (including reforms of the health care and welfare systems), foreign policy (including military interventions in Haiti and the Balkans), politics in the Clinton years (including impeachment), and the key personalities of the time (including chapters on Al Gore and Hillary Rodham Clinton). These candid spoken accounts--history "with the bark off" in Lyndon Johnson's phrase--add color and nuance to our understanding of Bill Clinton and his administration, sometimes confirming and sometimes upending the conventional wisdom.

Inside the Clinton White House

Russell L. Riley

President Bill Clinton led one of the most influential and consequential White House tenures in recent memory. However, because of the office's traditional climate of confidentiality, many details of his behind-the-scenes activities have remained absent from the written record. How did the administration manage the horrific conflicts in Haiti, Somalia, and the Balkans that came to a head shortly after the President took the oath? What motivated the President to place First Lady Hillary Clinton at the helm of the ill-fated Health Security Act of 1993? And how did the President's closest confidantes and aides respond to the outbreak of the devastating scandal that nearly ended his presidency? Inside the Clinton White House offers an intimate perspective on these questions and many more, granting readers unprecedented access to the sensitive Oval Office banter that changed the course of history. Bringing together material from 400 hours of candid conversations with over sixty individuals, respected oral historian Russell L. Riley weaves this illuminating testimony with important contextual information to form an irresistible narrative, taking the reader from Clinton's first potential White House bid in 1988 to the final days of his remarkable and controversial career. Extended sections of the book are devoted to important domestic and foreign policy campaigns, the complicated politics of the President's two terms and impeachment, and portraits of important personalities in the administration, including Vice President Al Gore and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. These forthright and often surprising accounts add a layer of nuance to an iconic figure in America's recent history, as told in the words of the people who knew him best.

Double Trouble: Bill Clinton and Elvis Presley in a Land of No Alternatives

Double Trouble: Bill Clinton and Elvis Presley in a Land of No Alternatives

Greil Marcus

Picador USA
2001
nidottu
In June of 1992, when all the polls showed that Bill Clinton didn't have a chance, he took his saxophone onto the Arsenio Hall show, put on dark glasses, and blew "Heartbreak Hotel." Greil Marcus, one of America's most imaginative and insightful popular culture critics, was the first to name this as the moment that turned Clinton's campaign around--and to make sense of why. Double Trouble draws on articles Marcus published from 1992 to 2000 to explore the remarkable and illuminating kinship between Bill Clinton and Elvis Presley--and, moreover, to explore how culture is made and shared in today's America and how, through culture, people remake themselves. Double Trouble is a unique and essential book about the final years of the twentieth century. This edition also includes a new essay Marcus wrote just before the 2000 presidential election: an eerily prescient piece that looks forward to two very different futures for ex-President Bill Clinton.

In Search of Bill Clinton

Bill Clinton remains the great American enigma. John Gartner, a practicing psychologist, unravels the mystery of Clinton's complex nature by questioning the well-crafted Clinton life story we thought we knew. Travelling through Arkansas, Gartner uncovered long-held secrets about Clinton's wild and seductive mother, Virginia Kelley, the truth surrounding Clinton's birth and how Kelley's character set the tone for Clinton's relationship with Monica Lewinsky. He considers Clinton's two fathers and how they might have contributed to his self-destructive nature and looks afresh at Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to see in her the figure of Edith Cassidy, Clinton's stern grandmother who set limits on him at an early age. "In Search Of Bill Clinton" puts our 42nd President on the couch for the first time and tells us, finally, what makes him tick.

Letters to Saint Clinton

K Composite Media
2007
pokkari
The controversy that ignited when a Kentucky artist depicted former President Clinton as a Christlike Catholic icon is documented through this book of letters from critics and supporters. As seen in USA Today, The Guardian, and dozens of media outlets around the world, LETTERS TO SAINT CLINTON juxtaposes passionate letters and commentary from admirers and detractors with equally tempestuous responses from artist Scott Ritcher. Excerpts from press coverage are also thrown into the mix, and the resulting drama that plays out lands at all points along the line from painfully serious to painfully hilarious. At times, the heated exchanges between religious purists and casual observers devolve into threats and become downright scary. Across 190 pages, LETTERS TO SAINT CLINTON emerges as an extensively diverse and multifaceted discussion about religion, politics, art, government policy, comedy, pop culture, false assumptions, separation of church and state, and personal freedom in America.
