First president of his generation. Second president to be
impeached. Bill Clinton led the nation during eight years of
unprecedented economic prosperity and peace, creating millions of
new jobs, swapping deficit for surplus, and advancing his agenda of
social programs. Yet he was riddled with scandal. This encyclopedia
of more than 230 alphabetical entries covers all the major events,
issues, and personalities of the Clinton administration, including
full treatments of his impeachment, Whitewater, Travelgate, Monica,
key members of his administration, Congressional opponents, foreign
and domestic policy, elections, laws, terms and catchphrases, and
national and foreign events that impacted Clinton's presidency.
This balanced account is a perfect reference for students of,
detractors from, and supporters of, William Jefferson Clinton.
Among the domestic issues covered are health care reform, gays
in the military, abortion, gun control, and welfare reform. Also
included are the many foreign policy issues Clinton dealt with such
as Bosnia, Northern Ireland, and the Middle East. Numerous charts,
tables, and graphs provide vital statistical information about
legislation, the economy, federal spending, election returns, and
crime during the Clinton years. A chronology of events and many
photos accompany the text. Thorough cross-referencing will aid
researchers, as will bibliographies of print and Internet sources
following each entry.
