The Clinton Tapes by Taylor Branch

16/10/09

Have just started to read, The Clinton Tapes, Wrestling History in the White House by Taylor Branch. Thus far its a page turner, thank goodness President Clinton thought ahead, as Presidents cant tape any more as their predecessors did, this book is almost like a confessional in some respects. Thus far worth the read, full review later...

Have justed finished the Clinton Tapes by Taylor Branch, they are striking as they take you in to the heart of the Clinton Administration, you hear the voice of Bill Clinton, very much a confessional to a friend, that has a up and down, the author is a friend of Bill Clinton, as to if he trusts President Clinton that is much harder to say from the book. Sometimes one wishes that the author had pressed the President on different subjects but then that might have made the President more cautious with the author. If you want to understand Bill Clinton and his political philosophy this is a good book to start with, but while reading recall that the author is a friend of Clinton and his wife worked for Hillary Clinton, with those warnings this is must read book if you have an interest in the Clinton Era in the United States.
