    About this audiobook

    Weekly Standard editor Daniel Halper provides a meticulously researched account of the brilliant calculations, secret deals, and occasionally treacherous maneuverings that led to the Clintons’ return to political prominence.

    In the twelve years since the Clintons left the White House, they have gone from being virtually penniless to multi-millionaires, and are arguably the most popular politicians in America—respected and feared by Republicans and Democrats alike. But behind that rise is a never-before-told story of strategic cleverness, reckless gambles, and an unquenchable thirst for political power.

    Investigative reporter Daniel Halper uses a wealth of research, exclusive documents, and detailed interviews with close friends, allies, and enemies of the Clintons to reveal the strategy they used and the deals they made to turn their political fortunes around. Clinton, Inc. exposes the relationship between President Obama, the Bush family, and the Clintons—and what it means for the future; how Bill and Hillary are laying the groundwork for the upcoming presidential campaign; how Vice President Biden and other Democrats are trying to maneuver around her; Chelsea’ s political future; the Clintons’ skillful media management; the Clintons’ marriage and why it has survived; and an inside look at the Clinton’s financial backers and hidden corporate enterprises.

    Clinton, Inc. is the key to understanding America’s most powerful political couple.

      Things written about Bill and Hilary Clinton are usually either smarmy or else cast them as an American edition of the Borgias. Halper's book is definitely more in the latter category. He certainly seems to have interviewed a ton of people and their comments about the Clintons show them to be brilliant and complicated but fuzzy on ethics. Also interesting is the author's focus on Chelsea Clinton and his speculation that she is going to play a bigger part in her parent's decision making from here on in.I haven't paid much attention to what Hilary Clinton was up to since she became secretary of state, so I'd hoped that this book would answer some questions, but I'm not sure it does unless you want to find out what lots of players--major and minor--think about Bill and Hilary.

      I don't like the Clintons but for some reason I read every book about them that I can. There have been so many that there is little new in this book, but any new nugget fascinates me.The recurring message i get from every book about them that I read is how self serving they are. Everything they do has an ulterior motive. And we get little sense of how vastly wealthy they are. aneither of them rides on public aircraft. They insist that a LARGE private jet be provided for their usage.
