Clinton, Bill

My Life

ISBN: 9780375414572
New York, NY, USA: Alfred A. Knopf, 2004. First Edition. Offered today is the autobiography of 42nd U.S. President Bill Clinton (b. 1946). My Life is the 2004 book that, at that time, former-disgraced President Bill Clinton wrote and released detailing the triumphs and failures of his life. With surprising candor, erudition, and humor the former President shows us the progress of a remarkable American, who, through his own enormous energies and efforts, made the unlikely journey from Hope, Arkansas, to the White House—a journey fueled by an impassioned interest in the political process which manifested itself at every stage of his life: in college, working as an intern for Senator William Fulbright; at Oxford, becoming part of the Vietnam War protest movement; at Yale Law School, campaigning on the grassroots level for Democratic candidates; back in Arkansas, running for Congress, attorney general, and governor. Charting the arc of his rising political career, the autobiography details the harsh pressures and excruciating stress that the title and office of “President” bestowed on Clinton during his tenure. The book also does not shy away from covering the more sordid details of Clinton’s lurid affair with Monica Lewinsky (b. 1973) and the disastrous effects it had on his presidency. In the end, My Life is a surprisingly honest and entertaining, if not a little self-pitying, look into the life of one of the former presidents of the U.S. From the collection of Barbara (1935-2023) & Irving (1933-2018) Nusbaum - world travelers, connoisseurs, eminent collectors of art & books, and the dearly beloved late parents of our esteemed founder, Arthur S.
