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.

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.
