Media Reviews

"What this book has that most campaign memoirs do not have is a satisfying, if partly submerged, plot line. It's a kind of feminist bildungsroman...."    -- Margaret Talbot

   -- New York Observer

"LIVING HISTORY reads as though it were written by a committee with occasional guest appearances...by the person claiming authorship; to her credit Clinton acknowledges the members of that committee, going so far as to say of one that she is 'responsible for many of the words in my speeches as First Lady and in this book.'"    -- Jonathan Yardley

   -- Washington Post Book World

"LIVING HISTORY is neither living nor history. But like Hillary Rodham Clinton, the book is relentless, a phenomenon that's impossible to ignore and impossible to explain."    -- Maureen Dowd

   -- New York Times Book Review

"[Clinton] is particularly affecting when she describes her protective feelings toward her daughter, Chelsea....On policy issues as well, she is often revealing."

   -- New Yorker

"Much of the earthquake response to the career of Hillary Rodham Clinton is simply one sign of a wider seismic disturbance rumbling through the whole of our society. That is why her book is a significant event-significant more for the polar responses to it than for any fresh thinking in it."    -- Garry Wills

   -- New York Review of Books

The Truth About Hillary
by Edward Klein

Hillary Rodham Clinton is the most polarizing figure in American politics. Love her or hate her, everyone has a strong opinion about the former first lady turned senator who is almost certainly going to run for president in 2008. Despite more than a dozen years in the national spotlight and more than a dozen unauthorized books about her, she has managed to keep many secrets from the public--especially about her turbulent marriage and its impact on her career. There have been plenty of rumors about what Hillary and Bill did behind closed doors, but never a definitive book that exposes the truth. Bestselling author Edward Klein draws on rare access to inside sources to reveal what Hillary knew and when she knew it during her years as first lady, especially during her husband's impeachment. Klein's book will break news about the choices and calculations she has made over the years. It will also prove that she lied to America in her bestselling autobiography LIVING HISTORY. When she was just a little girl, Hillary Rodham dreamed of becoming the first female president, and her lifelong dream is almost within reach. But just as the swiftboat veterans convinced millions of voters that John Kerry lacked the character to be president, Klein's book will influence everyone who is sizing up the character of Hillary Clinton.
