Reviews
"Hamilton writes with an eye to the utmost detail yet never ceases to compel and entertain his readers. James Adams delivers the work in a tone that projects its importance, and his ear-pleasing Arkansas accent brings an air of realism to the work…The result is a truly intriguing account of what it's like to be president of the United States."

"Scintillating biography…Hamilton's specialty, with a few nods to psychoanalysis, lies not just in telling us what happened but why and how it happened. As he follows William Jefferson Clinton from straitened beginnings to glorious success, he tries to burrow inside the man, to think as he thought, to see through his eyes the decisions that had to be made."
Observer
"Hamilton views his subject as a man with a big heart and a big brain but also with a shocking inability to make decisions or manage personnel. Hamilton's strength is in making the most of the many secondary sources he relies upon…A straightforward, effective recounting of the ups and downs of a presidency shaped as much by personality as by policy."
