Yeltsin by Clinton


A very good article by Bill Clinton on Boris Yeltsin, Clinton has learned from the his autobiography to be short and to the point. I would normally have expected five pages just on the Introduction and and some points on how great he was before getting to the subject. I read his autobiography and because I am am political geek liked some aspects compared to the critical review the book received. I recall when Bill Clinton was on Larry King Live before the book was published and Bill Clinton was going on that he kept all his records, even from College days, Larry made an excellent point that he should keep it short, President Clinton did not listen, thus the critical reaction to his book. As a political geek would not mind reading Bill Clinton if he keeps it short and to the point, am sure Bill Clinton could be a great political writer, but there are rules to writing as in life, as long as you learn them you can go far in this world.
