BILL CLINTON: MASTERING THE PRESIDENCY
Written by Nigel Hamilton.
Stock no. 1830994
Published by Century. 1st 2007. Very good condition in a very good dustwrapper.

An insightful, prodigiously researched, and wonderfully readable account of Bill Clintons first term in office. It shows how a well-meaning but naive new president failed to assert true leadership in his first two years, and then illustrates how, in an astonishing act of self-reinvention, the president turned defeat into victory. A gripping tale of hubris and redemption-and a chronicle of one of the most dramatic reversals of fortune in modern American politics. Black cloth boards, gilt title to spine. XV and 766 pages including index. ISBN: 9781844132096. Light crease to top & tail of spine. Minor white spots to boards. Text block browned. A few minor foxspots present. Pictorial dustwrapper is lightly creased and scuffed.
