About This Item
New York: Simon & Schuster, 1994. Second Printing. Hardcover. Very good/very good. 25 cm, 462, [2] pages. Illustrations. Index. DJ has minor soiling and edge wear. Inscribed by the author. Drew (born November 16, 1935, in Cincinnati, Ohio) is an American political journalist and author. Her first journalism job was with Congressional Quarterly beginning in 1959. She was Washington correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly (1967-1973) and The New Yorker (1973-1992). She made regular appearances on "Agronsky and Company" and hosted her own interview program for PBS between 1971 and 1973. Drew was a panelist for Meet the Press for many years and made frequent appearances on The News Hour with Jim Lehrer and still occasionally appears on The NewsHour and other radio and television programs. Drew was a panelist for the first debate in the 1976 U.S. Presidential election, and moderated the debate between the Democratic candidates for the nomination in the 1984 race. Drew has published 14 books, including Washington Journal: The Events of 1973-74 (1975), an account of the Watergate scandal; Portrait of an Election: The 1980 Presidential Campaign (1981); On the Edge: The Clinton Presidency (1994); Citizen McCain (2002); and George W. Bush's Washington (2004). Her most recent book is Richard M. Nixon (2007). Washington Journal was re-issued in 2014, with a new afterword. In Black Hawk Down, Mark Bowden wrote of "Elizabeth Drew's On the Edge, an account of Clinton's first years in the White House. Drew's is the best account I've read of the Somalia episode from the White House's perspective." Bill Clinton's Presidency has been the most turbulent in recent history, as this talented but flawed and perplexing man has struggled to govern. "On the Edge" is the first full-spectrum report on the Clinton Presidency. From its first days, Drew spoke with the President's top advisers, key Cabinet officers, and members of Congress as she watched -- up close -- as policies were hammered out and crises confronted. Drew tells the remarkable story of this fascinating term and deciphers what it means for this country.
