Summary: Another conservative frustration.
Review: Ms. Olson spends a great deal of time trying to convince everyone that the Clinton's and the Democrats were nasty people. She forgets that although Clinton was impeached he was found NOT GUILTY. I guess eight years in office was just too much for any conservative to swallow. Olson repeatedly tries to tell us how bad things were. No so, we really enjoyed some good living while the Clinton's were there. I believe if she went back in time other President's, i.e. Nixon, would make the Clinton's look like a bunch of amateurs. At least Clinton didn't try to distroy the country.

Summary: The Final Days = Nothing New
Review: "The Final Days" by the late Barbara Olsen details the unsavory Clintons and their last, final power grab before execting the West Wing. Olsen touches on everything from the Monica affair to the minor (and maybe best forgotten) "Filegate" and "Travelgate." She spends considerable amount of time covering the infamous duals' choice for New York office real estate and the pardon of Marc Rich. Unfortunately, this book can neither please the left or right. Those on the left will find this book petty and vengeful toward the Clintons, which it certainly is. However, those on the other side of the political spectrum will also find this book unfulfilling. Almost all of the Clintons' final days have been well documented in the media. While Olsen rehashes all the scandals and collects all the disenting quotes, little new is revealed. Unlike in real politics, catering toward the center is not desirable when you're trying to sell books. "The Final Days" lacks the substance to attract the conservative base this book is written toward. Unless you are unfamilar with the Clintons and their shenanigans, pass on this for something with more meat.

Summary: Informative and Interesting read....
Review: ... Regarding this book, it is well-researched (for those who care about FACTS) and an important read inasmuch as it reveals much that the Media never mentioned (or tried to whitewash) - and certainly covers that which the Clintons never intended to see the light of day! Any American who wants to be informed should read this book - objectively!!

Summary: Oh, come on
Review: After almost 2 years of the Bush administration, do you can you really believe a word this woman had to say? Read David Brock's Blinded by the Right if you want to know where she is coming from.

Summary: Lucid Chronicle of Clinton's Last Fling with Pres Power
Review: This former prosecutor details how the Clinton's up until the very end never gave in to the rule of law. They just kept on insulted the country by rubbing our faces in their amoral, political agenda for fame and power. As the author records one account, "On the very last day more criminals were liberated than at Bastille." Sad to have to see the conartists they are at work to liberate such as caught, convicted terrorists for the sake of political advantage. That's all there is with these two--exploitation of everyone to achieve their goals, not the countries. How dare them then spin it to make the conservatives look like uncompassionate, ruthless leaders. These two will certainly go down in the annals of American government as poor examples of what America is about. Articulately Olson shows the lengths the Clintons went to vent their anger on traditional values and institutions, when advancing their own liberal bents, delighting in mocking the office and even site of the centre of power and influence not only in our nation, but the world, The White House. The connections with relatives and friends and financiers is all here, with enough tantalizing details and media accounts to force the reader to ponder the conscious of the Bill/Hillary team towards anything wholesome. So descriptive of this is Bill's continuing need to be out in the spotlight, as an ego need and as a strategy to detract from other spotlights when they get close to unturning the truth. This work will contribute to the mounting documentation of the saddest holdings of this nation's highest office. What honor Olson and her husband Ted in contrast provide the country with, honor and dignity and a resolve to get the truth out. Honored likely along with many others of this book to contribute to the scholarship fund in honor of Barbara's life. Details available from the publisher.

Summary: Good read, angry conservatives still bitter about Nixon
Review: This book was a good read and Miss Olsen has a good grasp of the english language. But, to be short and sweet, this is just right wing conservative drivel that is still trying to drag Mister Clinton through the mud. Now that we have another draft dodging president and a former cocaine user in the White House, I understand that is must be difficult to find someone to to tarnish. When I read the "exploits" of misses Clinton, it sounded more to me like a Rush Limbaugh tirade then actual research. Basically she talks alot, but, she does not SAY anything. Clinton got busted for sex, Nixon got busted for abusing the Power of the CIA and the FBI and paying theives and assasisns to spy on his enemies. I will take a "draft dodging inhaler" any day over the Nixon type slime that she seems to be secretly defending.

Summary: Well researched
Review: This will be one of the books that will be read years from now by people wanting to know about the corruption and decadence of the Clinton administration. It is well researched, and the references are right there at the end of the book. The book does not break a lot of new ground. Had one read the newspapers, watched the news shows and perused the internet one would have already heard about what Olson discusses in pretty good detail, but Olson summarizes things well in a compact book that is easy to read, and actually is entertaining to some degree. Ignore the bizarre pro-Clitonites who continue to prevaricate about these scandals, saying either they didn't happen or don't matter. They're taking a page out of the Clinton playbook, meaning they believe if they just deny everything over and over people will be dumb enough to believe them. The fact is these scandals did happen and they matter a great deal. The documentation is there. It's here in this book, it's in media reports, and it's in other books about the Clintons. One of the keys to making sure that we never wind up with someone like Bill Clinton again is to understand what happened here. And this book goes a long way towards explaining that. Read it, and remember it.

Summary: Well-drawn literary personae
Review: As a writing instructor, I try to get my students to see that my comments about their writing are not to be taken personally. Their "literary personae"--of themselves as well as their characters--are not necessarily identical with their own or their characters' actual selves. In "The Final Days" Barbara Olson creates, on the one hand, the picture of an arrogant, wildly irresponsible, yet strangely fatuous president and, on the other, an "omniscient" narrator passionately devoted to exposing his carefully guarded inner core. Mr. Clinton does not eat food but "wolfs" it down; he does not hear applause but "basks in public acclaim"; he doesn't give a farewell speech, he "does a George Washington"; even the evidence of a photo of his resigned features misrepresents the "fact" of his internal ambition. And should we have any doubts about the actual extent of his hubris, the narrator compares the seventh day of the God of Genesis with this president's Sabbath: "the Baptist president decided he [in italics] was not going to waste his [in italics] final days." As an example of much present-day political writing, of so-called inside-the-beltline brawling, "Final Days" delivers the goods, creating memorable, bigger-than-life portraits of its two main characters--a deceiving yet self-deceived emperor and an undeceived narrator determined to show there are no clothes. True, it's acrimonious prose that probably makes no fewer assumptions than it accuses its subject of making--in fact, the fire and passion is reminiscent of the famed gloves-off, verbal sparring matches for which writers like Milton, Dryden, Pope, and even Dr. Johnson himself were renowned. Whether the book deserves high marks as "history" or "reportage" I leave to the scholars and political scientists. But Washington books seem to belong to a different genre requiring different criteria.

Summary: Great Book
Review: Actually, I believed every word. What an embarrassment the Clintons were to this country. The only people who would doubt the veracity of this tome are those die-hard Democrats who would forgive Slick Willie and his partner-in-crime of all wrongdoings and those people from New York who must justify their voting for Hillary. A five-star book!

Summary: God bless Barbara Olson
Review: Olson's legacy will be as a champion of justice, she exposed the corruption of Bill and Hillary Clinton and this book is the best yet! Unlike the claims of those bitter liberals.. Bill Clinton is a very dishonest man and while people were looking the other way at his deeds, Barbara was putting them in the notepad. Unlike the claims of the bitter liberals this book is chalk full of facts. This book exposes the fact Bill Clinton refused to use the DOJ for screening pardons and there is no way people like Rich and Vignali would have been approved by the DOJ. This book follows the pardons in depth and it's a must read
