BILL CLINTON: MASTERING THE PRESIDENCY

by Nigel Hamilton

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.

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.
