The Clinton Wars

Rating:
Summary: Unnecessarily long but very good
Review: The Clinton Wars is a fantastic narrative of the political warfare which dominated much of the 90s. Blumenthal gives us an insider's view of the Clinton White House.

He carefully breaks down each issue associated with the Republican vendetta against the Clinton administration. He carefully delves into the arguments, issues, and facts and provides insight into this difficult period of American political history. If you are seeking a complete and thorough response to the charges of the Rush Limbaugh's and Ken Starr's of the world this is it.

The downside of this book is that Blumenthal is unnecessarily long-winded at points. At times it takes him 3 pages to say what could have been said in 3 paragraphs. He overemphasizes his importance and dwells on boring topics for too long (the 50 pages on his personal history could have been cut).

If you have the endurance to make it through the 800 pages this book is fantastic.
