Publisher's Summary

Winner of the British Book Awards, Biography of the Year, 2005.

President Bill Clinton's My Life is the strikingly candid portrait of a global leader who decided in early life to devote his intellectual and political gifts, and his extraordinary capacity for hard work, to serving the public. It is the fullest, most concretely detailed, most nuanced account of a presidency ever written, and a testament to the positive impact on America and on the world of his work and his ideals. Here is the life of a great national and international figure, revealed with all his talents and contradictions. Filled with fascinating moments and insights, it is told openly, directly, in President Clinton's completely recognizable voice.

An honest and insightful book

An informative look behind the scenes of this preidents time in office and his time before the office. It fleshed out a lot of his personal character and vulnerability as a person. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Insightful

I enjoyed this book.
The author bravely tackles tough subjects with candour.
I venture to say Obama didn’t read/listen to this before he stood for President, as he maybe would have not bothered. The obstruction and rank stupidity that the author encountered from the other side of politics sounded eerily similar to the challenges that comprised Obama’s presidency.
I would certainly be interested in a sequel, covering the subsequent years of the author along with his thoughts on what has transpired since he was in charge. (Did someone say “Deficit”?)
Doubtless the author would also have well considered views on big picture issues such as tackling global warming.

Good but too (relatively) short.

Maybe its because I just finished listening to Volume 1 of Barack Obama's book (27 hours mind you), this book was just too short. He glosses over events that were critical in history with passing comments. Certainly could have delved into the detail.

Anyway, a sign of a good book is did I want more, and the answer is Yes.

Enjoy.

Told with clarity.

President Clinton tells the story obviously from his side and achieves credibility with the telling and his use of verifiable sources, references and witnesses.
Thank you Mr President.

Don't buy Abridged - Great read ruined.

Unfortunately unabridged is not available in all regions and the abridged version cuts out so much of the original book that it detracts from this great read. If you think the abridged version will give a good summary of the Clinton years think again and go and but the hardcopy book instead.
