This book rests upon a secret project, initiated by Clinton, to preserve for future historians an unfiltered record of presidential experience. During his eight years in office, between 1993 and 2001, Clinton answered questions and told stories in the White House, usually late at night. His friend Pulitzer Prize–winning author Taylor Branch recorded seventy-nine of these dialogues to compile a trove of raw information about a presidency as it happened.
Branch’s firsthand narrative is confessional, unsparing, and personal. He admits straying at times from his primary role—to collect raw material for future historians—because his discussions with Clinton were unpredictable and intense. What should an objective prompter say when the President of the United States seeks advice, argues facts, or lodges complaints against the press? The dynamic relationship that emerges from these interviews is both affectionate and charged, with flashes of anger and humor. President Clinton drives the history, but this is also a story of friendship.
The Clinton Tapes highlights major events of Clinton’s two terms—including wars in Bosnia and Kosovo—the failure of health care reform, peace initiatives on three continents, the anti-deficit crusade, and titanic political struggles from Whitewater to American history’s second presidential impeachment trial. Along the way, Clinton delivers colorful portraits of countless political figures and world leaders from Nelson Mandela to Pope John Paul II.
These unprecedented White House dialogues are a staple of presidential scholarship. Branch’s masterly account opens a new window on a controversial era and Bill Clinton’s eventual place among our chief executives.©2009 Taylor Branch; (P)2009 Simon & Schuster
