From the Back Cover
The Weekly Standard reporter Daniel Halper compiles a wealth of research, exclusive documents, and candid interviews with former Clinton administration officials, senators, congressmen, friends, allies, and former enemies to reveal how Bill and Hillary rebuilt their reputations in the wake of scandal and mistakes, reconstructed their political machine, and positioned themselves for even greater success.
A story of strategic calculation, backroom deals, reckless gambles, and an unquenchable thirst for wealth and power, Clinton, Inc. describes in intimate detail how the Bill and Hillary partnership works, demonstrating how they are, in effect, dual CEOs of a single enterprise focused on the ultimate goal of reclaiming political power. Halper provides insights into their relationships with Barack Obama, the Bush family, their financial backers, and even their most bitter former enemies; Bill and Hillary's plans for Chelsea's future; and how the Clintons are preparing for the 2016 presidential campaign and beyond. He also lays out a comprehensive Republican effort to bring their ambitions to a halt.
Review Quotes
"The 'Must Buy' Book of the Summer." -- Hugh Hewitt
"Daniel Halper is a such a good reporter, I've tried to hire him three times. Few people in Washington have better sources or a sharper eye for detail. Halper gets the story every time and, trust me, there's a story here." -- Tucker Carlson, Co-Host, FOX & Friends Weekend, and Editor-in-Chief, The Daily Caller
"Halper's study is juicy and gossipy, yet scrupulously researched, drawing on numerous on-the-record conversations (as well as many not-for-attribution interviews) with prominent Democrats and Clinton insiders, past and present." -- Lloyd Grove, The Daily Beast
"The Clintons reside at the peak of the American power elite. Halper explains, in riveting detail, how they got there and how they stay there. But Halper hasn't just produced a must-read. He's also opened an important--and disturbing--window into the current state of American politics and society." -- William Kristol, Editor, The Weekly Standard
"If you think you know all there is to know about the Clintons, Daniel Halper proves you wrong. Read this highly informative, appropriately excoriating book about the once and perhaps-future First Couple--and consider yourself warned." -- Rich Lowry
