Summary: A Must Read
Review: This book should be read by every American citizen. To those who think Evans-Pritchard is off the mark, consider this: during the Nicaraguan elections when the Sandinista (communist) Ortega was running against the Contra (pro-democracy) Chamorro, the vast majority of journalists predicted that Ortega would win the election. Evans-Pritchard, however, went out to the back country and interviewed civilians, and as a result of this journalistic effort, he predicted that Chamorro would win the election. And he was right!! Chamorro won the election! MOST OF THE OTHER JOURNALISTS WERE WRONG, AND EVANS-PRITCHARD WAS RIGHT!!! To those who say Evans-Pritchard is wrong about Bill Clinton, well, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOUR TRACK RECORD STACKED UP AGAINST HIS. He has earned credibilty (to anyone with a rational brain), so keep that in mind when you crack open THE SECRET LIFE OF BILL CLINTON.

Summary: Evans-Pritchard commits logical falacies
Review: I had gotten about half way through the first chapter of Ambrose Evans-Pritchard's book "The Secret Life of Bill Clinton" before I figured out that he had forgotten two topics I usually place under the heading of "The World is a Funny Place." 1. If you have a bad event, it almost always the result of incompetence, not conspiracy. Incompetence is so much more common than conspiracy that you have to have definite proof of the latter. 2. After-the-fact coincidences are common. People assume that because before-the-fact coincidences are rare, that after-the-fact ones are also. In fact, they are very common. There is a story somewhere that Abe Lincoln always had a secretary named Henry, or something like that. It was just coincidence. As I recall Evans-Pritchard does a little guilt-by-association too, but incidences of that are easy to spot.

Summary: Hogwash
Review: I am a lifelong resident of Arkansas and was born in Hot Springs, Arkansas. I have known Bill Clinton my entire life and also am familiar with the Dixie Mafia. While this book was very entertaining, it was woefully inaccurate. I can only hope that rational Americans will not buy into this book. With all of the investigations of Bill Clinton, and Kenneth Starr's obvious hunger to indict him, don't you think he would have stumbled onto some of this by now. Please, give me a break. Save your money, and buy No Island of Sanity instead.

Summary: This book is an indictment of the U.S. judicial system
Review: The author provides lots of detail about the illegal activity of scores of people who are identified in the book by name. He provides interview data with many of the key players and documnetation that is very credible. After reading the book, I am astonished that the U.S. Justice Department and the many independent councils investigating Bill Clinton and his friends have not done more than they have to get to the bottom of this. The Monica Lewinsky story is just child's play compared to the other things our president is accused of doing. Any one of the many allegations in this book should be enough to send many of our top government officials to jail. If they are true, we certainly deserve better than we've gotten from the Justice Department. If they are false, then let the people referred to by name in the book say so. If any part of this book proves to be accurate, then Kenneth Starr, Louis Freeh, Janet Reno, and others in the DOJ have some serious questions to answer (maybe under oath before a grand jury).

Summary: Easy reading, seems factual, but no cigar!
Review: The book deserves a place on the president's libraryof critics but it should be read with guarded optimism. There are a few things the author seems to misunderstand about our government. Unlike Britain, we like to bring new faces into our presidency every few years. It serves to refresh our minds and the oval office. Then we take great sport to pick on the president to see if he can stand up to the grind of it all. In Brirain, the royals are in for life and they stay amidst the critics. When the author cries foul at the notion of the president replaciing all the US Attorneys upon taking office, that's his right, he can replace every political appointee at will, for any or no reason. All in all, it was a fairly good book but nothing to write home about.

Summary: "The truth will set you free".
Review: Required reading for all Americans who are in search of the real truth about Bill/Hill Clinton.Evans-Pritchard has done his homework.God save us from bill clinton.
Rating: 
Summary: Very well written and documented.
Review: The prose is excellent, the supporting documentation is very thorough. I would have liked to see a review of the Ron Brown "accident" as well as a thorough enumeration of the Clinton [dead] body count (which is stunningly high, and well off any actuarial chart). I highly recommend it.

Summary: It's obvious the Friends of Bill are frightened by this book
Review: Whenever folks start crying,"Foul!" we should all look long and hard at what's bothering them so. The truth hurts much more than "conspiracy theories" and the cries have started, as well as the smearing, right here in the reviews. Evans-Pritchard lays out a well-documented, well-attributed laundry list of crimes committed by and for Bill Clinton and his various administrations. The book never contends that bombing Ok City was Clinton's idea; it never even says that covering up the alleged bungled sting was his idea, but, as president, Clinton is responsible for the actions of Federal law enforcement officials. This book will, at least, make you think differently about some of the things our mainstream media has said concerning these events. I think we will hear many more cries of, "Foul!" from the Left.
Rating:
Summary: Succinctly and objectively written as the British do so well
Review: Evans-Pritchard fills in the details of Clintons sordid scandals, which incidentally, are meticulously documented in the appendices. It is a depressing book until the epilogue. I recommend it to anyone who is objective, believes in the Constitution and believes in Common Law.

Summary: Is it true?
Review: Its not wheather this is a muckraking piece of journalism;it's the question of truth.If even half of these allegations are true then American Democracy is in for some rough sledding indeed.
