Who is Bill Clinton?
A man whose presidency was disgraced by impeachment -- yet who
remains one of the most popular presidents of our time.
A man whose autobiography, My Life, was panned by critics as a
self-indulgent daily diary -- but rode the bestseller lists for
months.
A man whose policies changed America at the close of the
twentieth century -- yet whose weakness left us vulnerable to
terror at the dawn of the twenty-first.
No one better understands the inner Bill Clinton, that creature
of endless and vexing contradiction, than Dick Morris. From the
Arkansas governor's races through the planning of the triumphant
1996 reelection, Morris was Clinton's most valued political
adviser. Now, in the wake of Clinton's million-selling memoir My
Life, Morris and his wife, Eileen McGann, set the record straight
with Because He Could, a frank and perceptive deconstruction of the
story Clinton tells -- and the many more revealing stories he
leaves untold.
With the same keen insight they brought to Hillary Clinton's
life in their recent bestseller Rewriting History, Morris and
McGann uncover the hidden sides of the complicated and sometimes
dysfunctional former president. Whereas Hillary is anxious to mask
who she really is, they show, Bill Clinton inadvertently reveals
himself at every turn -- as both brilliant and undisciplined,
charming yet often filled with rage, willing to take wild risks in
his personal life but deeply reluctant to use the military to
protect our national security. The Bill Clinton who emerges is
familiar -- reflexively blaming every problem on right-wing
persecutors or naive advisers -- but also surprising: passive,
reactive, working desperately to solve a laundry list of social
problems yet never truly grasping the real thrust of his own
presidency. And while he courted danger in his personal life, the
authors argue that Clinton's downfall has far less to do with his
private demons than with his fear of the one person who controlled
his future: his own first lady.
Sharp and stylishly written, full of revealing insider
anecdotes, Because He Could is a fresh and probing portrait of one
of the most fascinating, and polarizing, figures of our time.
