āA rich, believable portrait of a master politician out of office: needy, rivalrous, thin-skinned, proud, hot-tempered.ā āThe New York Review of Books
Updated in 2017 and hailed as, āengrossingā¦detailed and intimateā (Publishers Weekly), veteran political journalist Joe Conasonās Man of the World brings you along with Bill Clinton, as the forty-second president blazes new paths in his post-presidential career.
It is unlike the second career of any other president: āBill Clintonā is a global brand, rising from the dark days of his White House departure to become one of the most popular names in the world. In his ādeeply researchedā (The New York Times Book Review) Man of the World, Joe Conason describes how that happened, examining Clintonās achievements, his failures, his motivations, and his civilian life. He explains why Clintonās ambitions for the world continue to inspire (and infuriate).
Conason, who has covered Clinton for twenty years, interviewed him many times for this bookāas well as Hillary and Chelsea and many of his friends, aides, rivals, and supporters. He has travelled with Clinton to Africa, Haiti, Israel, and across America. Conasonās āoften absorbing chronicle captures the energy and charisma of the former president as heā¦finds a mission in his philanthropic work in Africa, Asia, and elsewhereā (Kirkus Reviews). Man of the Worldāstarring the one and only Bill Clintonātells the engrossing story of an extraordinary man who is still seeking to do good in the world.
