La biographie sans complaisance de l'ex-première dame des Etats-Unis, qui en deviendra peut-être - en 2008 ? - la première présidente. Issue de la classe moyenne du Midwest, Hillary Rodham est douée d'une intelligence hors norme qui lui permet d'intégrer une université prestigieuse. Elle y brille, y milite et y fait la connaissance d'un étudiant nommé Clinton, qui semble lui aussi promis à un avenir exceptionnel. Très vite, Hillary décide que, avec son aide, Bill Clinton deviendra président. A lui le devant de la scène, à elle la stratégie. Elle n'en renonce pas pour autant à ses propres ambitions : une fois que Bill aura fait son temps à la Maison-Blanche, il se mettra au service de son épouse pour qu'elle accède à son tour aux plus hautes fonctions. C'est le plan des Clinton, dont ce livre relate le premier volet, émaillé de quelques revers et de nombreux triomphes politiques, jalonné aussi de scandales. Dans leurs autobiographies, Hillary et Bill Clinton omettent ces zones d'ombre, ou en donnent une version édulcorée...

Carl Bernstein, figure légendaire du journalisme américain depuis son rôle clef dans l'affaire du Watergate, a contribué avec son coéquipier Bob Woodward à faire basculer les rapports entre la presse et le pouvoir. Il nous livre aujourd'hui une grande biographie de Hillary Clinton, fruit de huit années de travail. Riche de multiples interviews de nombreux proches d'Hillary - amis, collaborateurs, opposants -, le livre de Carl Bernstein dresse un portrait contrasté de celle qui fut la première dame et qui pourrait bien devenir la première femme présidente des États-Unis. Il ne s'agit pas d'une biographie " autorisée " puisque ni Bill ni Hillary n'ont accepté de participer à ce livre. Au-delà du portrait d'Hillary, Bernstein esquisse un tableau tout en finesse de ce duo exceptionnel qui a occupé la Maison-Blanche pendant huit ans, examinant sous tous ses aspects - personnels, psychologiques, professionnels - le fonctionnement d'un " couple politique " par excellence. Le livre donne aussi au public français un aperçu révélateur, et par moments quasi romanesque, des arcanes de la vie politique américaine depuis les années soixante-dix, et permet de mieux...

Número de Páginas: 608

During their eight years in the White House, Bill and Hillary Clinton worked together more closely than the public ever knew. Their intertwined personal and professional lives had far-reaching consequences–for politics, domestic policy, and international affairs–and their marital troubles became a national soap opera. Based on unparalleled access to scores of Clinton insiders–cabinet officers, top administration officials, close personal friends–and skilled analysis of a vast written record, including previously unavailable private papers, For Love of Politics is the first book to explain the dynamics of Bill and Hillary’s relationship, showing that they are two halves of a unique whole and that it is impossible to understand one Clinton without factoring in the other. Sally Bedell Smith, acclaimed author of Grace and Power: The Private World of the Kennedy White House, offers intimate scenes from the Clinton marriage, with new details and insights into how a passion for politics sustained Bill and Hillary through one crisis after another. With clarity and depth, Smith examines the origins of an unconventional copresidency, explains the impact of the Clintons’ tensions ...

Extreme Makeover of Hillary (Rodham) Clinton

Autor: Bay Buchanan

Número de Páginas: 256

Buchanan, former U.S. treasurer and sister of former presidential nominee Pat Buchanan, takes Hillary Clinton to task in this unapologetically partisan biography. Buchanan outlines how Clinton's personality and character changed after she was elected to the Senate, casting mock sympathy as she goes: "It must be a terrible thing to be as deeply insecure as Hillary. It has made her so incredibly susceptible to the ideas of others." Subsequent chapters criticize the senator's positions on hot-button issues, including healthcare, same-sex partnerships and the war in Iraq. Buchanan backs up many of her points with outside scholarship and Clinton's own interviews and records (both as senator and student).

And yet, six years later, she has reemerged as an even more powerful and influential figure, a formidable stateswoman and the presumed front-runner for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, marking one of the great political comebacks in history.

Número de Páginas: 666

A Woman in Charge reveals the true trajectory of Hillary's astonishing life and career. From a staunchly Republican household and apparently idyllic Midwestern girlhood - her disciplinarian father here revealed as harsher than she has acknowledged - we see the shaping of a brilliant girl whose curiosity was fuelled by the ferment of the 1960s and a desire to change the world. During her student years, she was already perceived as a spokeswoman for her generation. Then, at Yale Law School, she met and fell in love with Bill Clinton, cancelling her own dreams to tie her fortunes to his. Bernstein clarifies the often amazing dynamic of their marriage, charting both her political acumen and her blind spots, and untangling her relationship to the great controversies of Whitewater, Troopergate and Travelgate. And then, in the emotional and political chaos of the Lewinsky affair we see Hillary standing by her husband - evoking a rising wave of sympathy from a public previously cool to her and in effect, Bernstein argues, saving his presidency. It helps carry her into the Senate: her time has come. As she decides to run for President, this self-described 'mind-conservative and heart...
