Bill Clinton

Although he still awaits the judgment of time and historians, Bill Clinton will surely rank as one of America's most controversial leaders. Despite being rocked by scandal, Clinton managed to balance the federal budget, push for welfare and health reforms, and maintain a high popularity rating among the American people. In Bill Clinton, Revised Edition, author Michael A. Schuman examines the president's dramatic rise to the top, as well as the strengths and flaws of his character. The Whitewater and Monica Lewinsky scandals, as well as President Clinton's impeachment trial, are thoroughly examined in this updated book. Book jacket.
