内容概要

With the harsh partisanship and sensationalism associated with the coverage of American politics, it's perhaps not surprising that it takes a Brit to provide the proper perspective of American politics at the end of the 20th century. Martin Walker, Washington correspondent for Britain's the Guardian newspaper, used the occasion of the 1996 presidential campaign to produce a thorough account of President Bill Clinton and his place in American history. Walker follows Clinton through his development, examining his early life, his college experiences--including tales from Clinton's Oxford classmates who were there when he didn't inhale--on through his presidential performance. Walker focuses on substance rather than the trivialities of personal life, reviewing the president's policies for what they are and objectively placing them in context of America in the 1990s. 作者简介：    MARTIN WALKER is the U.S. Bureau Chief for Britain's Guardian and is a regular commentator for CNN, the CBC, National Public Radio, Monitor Radio, and the BBC. He also writes a regular column for the Los Angeles Times and is an occasional contributor to the New York Times and the Washington Post. He is the author of The Cold War.'A History. He lives in Washington, D.C.
