The
Russia Hand : A Memoir of Presidential Diplomacy
by Strobe Talbott
The collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s was fraught with
turmoil and political peril. That it did not end in disaster was due in
no small measure to Russian president Boris Yeltsin, for all his flaws--and,
insists former administration insider Strobe Talbott, to Yeltsin's partner
in reform, President Bill Clinton. Before Clinton took office in 1992,
he imagined that he would devote most of his energies to domestic matters,
in keeping with the "It's the economy, stupid" slogan of his campaign war
room. But, writes fellow Rhodes Scholar Talbott, his adviser on Russian
affairs, "It became apparent that being president meant ... doing the heavy
lifting in the management of relations with a giant nation that was reinventing
itself and, in doing so, reinventing international politics and requiring
us to reinvent American foreign policy." Though the Clinton administration
took a few missteps early on, by Talbott's account the president soon rose
to the historic occasion, tirelessly helping Yeltsin negotiate the difficult
task of democratizing the former Communist power while contending with
Yeltsin's troublesome penchant for drink and self-destruction--to say nothing
of a committed political resistance on the part of disaffected members
of the old guard. That things turned out reasonably well may seem amazing,
given some of the incidents Talbott relates. His book offers an instructive,
lively view of international diplomacy, personal politics, and the odd
turns involved in changing the world. --Gregory McNamee - Amazon.com

A
Vast Conspiracy : The Real Story of the Sex Scandal That Nearly Brought
Down a President
by Jeffrey Toobin
Toobin's narrative is one of the most levelheaded versions of the 1998
scandal yet published, although he has very few kind words for anybody
involved. "No other major political controversy in American history produced
as few heroes as this one," he notes, and "in spite of his consistently
reprehensible behavior, Clinton was, by comparison, the good guy in this
struggle." While debunking Hillary Rodham Clinton's claims that she and
her husband were the victims of a "vast right-wing conspiracy" (a claim
that ignores Clinton's responsibility for his actions), Toobin does demonstrate
how lawyers for Paula Jones collaborated with Linda Tripp and Lucianne
Goldberg to build the most damaging case possible against the president.
(He also suggests, not without cause, that Newsweek reporter Michael Isikoff
worked more closely with Tripp and Goldberg than he reported in his own
book, Uncovering Clinton.) -Ron Hogan - Amazon.com

Betrayal
: How the Clinton Administration Undermined American Security

Betrayal asserts that the "most important legacy" of Bill Clinton's

his self-serving appeasement of powerful and determined foreign enemies....
The administration's policies have endangered not only the United States,"
Gertz concludes, "but the peace and security of the entire world." --Linda

Death
of Outrage: Bill Clinton and the Assault on American Ideals
Don't look for President Clinton's picture in The Book of Virtues;
bestselling author and former Secretary of Education William J. Bennett
considers Bill Clinton uniquely unvirtuous. In the wake of the White House
intern sex scandal, Bennett accuses Clinton of crimes at least as serious
as those committed by Richard Nixon during the Watergate imbroglio. Rising
above anti-Clinton polemics, The Death of Outrage urges the American public--which
initially displayed not much more than a collective shrug--to take issue
with the president's private and public conduct. Clinton should be judged
by more than the state of the economy, implores Bennett. The commander
in chief sets the moral tone of the nation; a reckless personal life and
repeated lying from the bully pulpit call for a heavy sanction. The American
people should demand nothing less, says the onetime federal drug czar.
In each chapter, Bennett lays out the rhetorical defenses made on Clinton's
behalf (the case against him is "only about sex," harsh judgmentalism has
no place in modern society, independent counsel Kenneth Starr is a partisan
prosecutor, etc.) and picks them apart. He may not convince everybody,
but this is an effective conservative brief against Bill Clinton. --John

The
Starr Report: The Findings of Independent Counsel Kenneth W. Starr on President
Clinton and the Lewinsky Affair
Here it is--the result of four years of investigative research, at
an approximate cost of $40 million. Back in 1994, Kenneth Starr was appointed
to investigate a series of investments made by Bill and Hillary Clinton;
the Whitewater allegations never bore fruit, but then somebody whispered
stories about the president and an intern named Monica Lewinsky into Starr's
ear. He and his team of prosecutors sniffed around, and this is what they've
come up with: "According to Ms. Lewinsky, she and the President had ten
sexual encounters, eight while she worked at the White House and two thereafter."
The details are bathetic in their precision: "during many of their sexual
encounters," Starr notes, "the President stood leaning against the doorway
of the bathroom across from the study, which, he told Ms. Lewinsky, eased
his sore back." And yes, as far as we know, that was the president's semen
on Monica's navy dress.
Whether or not it's the government's job to produce hackneyed narratives
about young women who find themselves falling in love with powerful men
is for voters to decide, but this story would be rejected outright by readers
of Harold Robbins or Jackie Susann were it not for the newsworthy elements.
Of course, there's also the second half of the report, in which Starr explains
how Clinton's attempts to prevent his relationship with Lewinsky from becoming
public knowledge constitute grounds for his impeachment. That's the part
of the document that matters most from a political perspective ... but
it's doubtful that it'll be the part that lingers in historical memory.

Uncovering
Clinton: A Reporter's Story
by Michael Isikoff
First at the Washington Post, and later at Newsweek, Michael Isikoff
researched the stories that helped turn Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, Linda
Tripp, and Monica Lewinsky into household names. Uncovering Clinton is
his version of All the President's Men, a play-by-play account of how he
put the pieces together and gradually came to the conclusion, based on
the allegations surrounding Bill Clinton's sexual behavior, that the president
of the United States was "psychologically disturbed." But Uncovering Clinton
is also about how Isikoff had to fight with his own editors to get his
reporting into print and how he fell victim on multiple occasions to online
gossip columnist Matt Drudge, who stole Isikoff's thunder by printing items
about stories that hadn't run. He also found himself caught up in the machinations
of Linda Tripp and her literary agent, Lucianne Goldberg, as they schemed
to manipulate the president and his paramour into a compromising situation.
Isikoff is up-front about the frustrations he experienced on the journalistic
trail; although he wanted to think of himself as another Seymour Hersh
when he set out on the Jones story, he writes, "instead, I was starting
to feel like Geraldo Rivera." Even though just about everybody knows the
basic story at this point, Uncovering Clinton is still as lively a read
as any political thriller--and all the more unsettling for being true.

No
One Left to Lie To: The Triangulations of William Jefferson Clinton
by Christopher Hitchens
The most vocal critics of Bill Clinton's presidency tend to be conservatives--think,
for example, of William J. Bennett's The Death of Outrage--but there are
those on the Left who are fed up with Clinton as well. Among them is journalist
Christopher Hitchens (most prominently associated with The Nation and Vanity
Fair), who has produced a slim but vehement volume outlining how "Clinton's
private vileness meshes exactly with his brutal and opportunistic public
style." No One Left to Lie To is the story of a man who took the Democratic
presidential nomination and, having achieved office, began enacting welfare
reform and anticrime legislation that surpassed the ambitions of all but
the most ideologically loyal Republicans--and routinely plundered the GOP
platform for other policy ideas as well.
Hitchens is particularly damning on Clinton's tendency to resort to
divisive racial politics when it suits his purposes, as when, in the course
of the 1992 presidential campaign, he refused to lift a finger to save
a mentally retarded African American from state execution so he could appear
tough on crime, then shortly afterwards hijacked a Rainbow Coalition conference
to criticize rap artist Sister Souljah for the benefit of the attendant
press. When he needs the black vote, though, Clinton will allow himself
to be trumpeted as the most racially sensitive president in American history--if
not, in Toni Morrison's memorably ludicrous phrase, "our first black president."
Furthermore, the man who once connived his way out of the draft has become
a chief executive so willing to use military air strikes as a means of
foreign policy that, in the author's view, the United States is now a "potential
banana republic."
Of course, there is plenty of vitriol directed at Clinton's conduct
with regard to Monica Lewinsky (the woman with whom he admitted, under
duress, to having had an "inappropriate relationship" consisting of multiple
incidences of oral sex) and Kathleen Willey (who alleges that the leader
of the free world merely fondled her breasts and forced her to touch--albeit
shielded under some layers of clothing--his tumescent penis). In Hitchens's
view, however, the sexual controversies are only the most prominent aspect
of Clinton's shameful character, a moral condition that must be considered
in toto. The book is short, with an argument that runs only about a hundred
pages, but that's still more than enough room for Hitchens to serve up
a comprehensive, blistering indictment suffused throughout by his dark
wit. He sums up the failure of those fixated on Clinton's adultery to fully
investigate his cronyism and financial shenanigans: "It's not the lipstick
traces, stupid," Hitchens warns, "it's the Revlon Connection." --Ron
