It's a shame that the book doesn't focus more on issues that shaped the world instead of what was going on in the private life of a man. Battling homelessness? Welfare reform? The lowest unemployment level in years? No mention. This book is the worst kind of anthology of tripe.

This book is one of a kind. It contains previously published Clinton cartoons from all over the world. It is a story that needed to be told about the most corrupt President in the history of the U.S., William Jefferson Clinton. More negative books and facts are being written every day.

It is a book that is definitely not for Clinton-lovers ...

This is the only book I know that features cartoonists from the U.S., Canada, Sweeden and India. Many are syndicated and one is a Pulitizer Prize winner.

It is a virtual history of Clinton's scandal-ridden presidency that also includes Al Gore, Hillary, Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones, and Ken Starr.

There are multiple Quotations from several prominent Democrats, a past President, Mikhail Gorbachev and many best selling authors.

The Introduction thoroughly explains the word 'Thief' in the Title.

Anyone that has followed the presidency of William Jefferson Clinton will be able to remember the event portrayed in the cartoons by their creator.

Most Liberals and Clinton apologists will not welcome a book of this nature that exposes their president's immoral conduct while in office.

Different from Posner's "An Affair of State" this account is a more casual and personalized view of the Clinton-Lewinsky affair that spotlights the impeachment trial as it unravels day by day and does not focus on the entire "Year of the Monica." An entertaining and often amusing read by a retired City University of New York academic, and a modern-day Samuel Pepys.

Huston is intelligent and witty as the ultimate outsider, sharing his thoughts as the trial unfolds on his TV screen. His streaming commentary often reads is like Mystery Science Theatre script as he lampoons the central figures -- from Monica ( the "groupie who wasn't clear on the concept. Hung around after she scored... not one to cower behind the door when the chutzpah was passed out") to Lindsay Graham ("...who comes across as a polite earnest young man...used to passing the time of day with old ladies sitting on porches sipping lemonade...coddled since birth by adoring parents and aunts and uncles and cousins, all of whom have agreed that this boy is wonderful.") to Ken "the doughboy" Starr. Even the media types covering the trial don't escape his acerbic gaze - witness "Nina Totenberg (not a lawyer, but unlike Cokie (Roberts), seems to play one on TV." A must read for those looking to find humor in a very sad situation.

As sick as I was of the impeachment trial, I found Huston's "sociologist spin" offered a new perspective. Namely, how could so many smart people get into such an incredibly stupid mess? Getting theoretically inside the heads of the main players made diving back into the topic worthwhile. Impeachment Trial Diary is destined to be the definitive work on a ridiculous episode in this nation's history.

This book is an interesting look at 6 different mid level White House staff during the first two years of the Clinton administration. The book is not a review of the first two years, just a focus on what it is like for these six people. The first thing that I thought was just how much these people work, 7 days a week and 90 plus hours is the norm, it is no wonder they burn out after year or so. Other then that bit of info, for me there really was nothing all that new about the book. It basically described that fact that these jobs are very difficult, unforgiving and at times not very fun.

One gets a kind of hopeless feeling at times reading this book as many of the people covered seam to at times. This is probably the best part of the authors work in that he was able to convey just how hard it was working under so much stress in a very unorganized situation and constantly being attacked. I think I have a better appreciation for the people that do the work that goes unnoticed in all White Houses. The book is somewhat interesting and not badly written, it just does not give the reader that much new info and it is limited to only the view of these six people.

Each of the White House staffers in this book are presented as having taken their position with the hopes of making a difference. it didn't take long for each and every one of them to realize that they were just pawns in the game. The book mentions that the average tenure of a staffer is only 12 - 18 months, and if all staffers are treated as poorly those in this book were treated, it is obvious as to why they choose to move on. The upside to the jobs? Each of them went on to a more lucrative position after leaving the White House. If you can put up with 12 - 18 months of misery, you can write your own ticket. They all had to be aware of that when they started, so it's had to feel too bad about what they had to go through in order to be able to add 'White House Staff' to their resume.

This book explores the inner workings of the Clinton White House, exposing the way in which the President works and handles his affairs. Through the stories of the people who helped him get to the presidency, this book has shown me a side of Mr. Clinton I never knew existed, and which frankly does not seem too likeable. I would recommend this book to anybody who wants to learn more about the way in which this President goes about governing. It is also a good reference as far the White House regarding the way it works. Kudos to Mr. Birnbaum for writing such an interesting description of the current administration!

"Back from the Dead: How Clinton Survived the Republican Revolution," is a crisp behind-the-scenes examination of how William Jefferson Clinton ultimately defeated a determined Republican Party. To this end, Clinton's extraordinary political skills and a smart move away from the left and to the soft center of American politics paved the way for victory.

Evan Thomas also cites three other critical factors..."it is the economy...stupid," the unpopular personality of Newt Gingrich and the polling genius of Dick Morris as helping Bill Clinton defeat Bob Dole. But the main theme of this book is that the former governor of Arkansas had an enormous appetite for work and an uncanny ability to communicate with the American people. Certain parts of the narrative is a passionate upclose account of Bill and Hillary Clinton as husband and wife as well as political partners. Other parts of this book looks at how the prospects for a second term were shadowed by the scandals of Clinton's first four years in office.

In the final analysis the "Comeback Kid," great man or not...did have a remarkable gift for politics and this won the day. Baby boomers had come of age, moved to the suburbs, borne children, and planted the seeds of a postmodern political agenda. They wanted a president that would help them cope with the cares of everyday life...work and family, schools and doctors, safe streets and clean water. The Republican Party offered a solid political platform but Bill Clinton's colorful promise of a "Golden Age" outlasted Bob Dole's plain "Black & White" strategy for America.

Making the 1996 presidential election interesting and excitingis a difficult task. But Evan Thomas comes very close in this gem ofa book. It focuses not only on the Republican primaries and thegeneral election but also on the Congressional battles in 1995-96 that made Clinton's victory possible. Candidate media strategies are also explored. Thomas also provides insight and analysis throughout the book rather than just at the end like other authors have the habit of doing. These insights, especially concerning the birth of a "Small Deal" in government policy, are fair and accurate. For political readers interested in the 1996 presidential election come here.

book combines concepts of Epidemiology and biostatistics. It makes easy to understand how epidemiology is interlinked with biostatistics because in a clinical trial both are needed. I like this book because the language is easy to interpret. It is very useful for those who have difficulty in understanding the concepts of biostatistics. The best part of the book is that the text is explained in reference to clinical research, which makes life easier for medical students and doctors. A lot of examples are given within the text to make the text easy to understand. After each chapter a comprehensive test is given.

To cut the long story short, This book is one of the best for those who have difficulty in understanding Biostatistics.

The revised edition of The Coming Economic Earthquake has some interesting information. For a somewhat different view you should check out "The Christian Financial Crisis" by James L. Paris.

While Mr. Burkett's timing for the economic collapse is off the principals remain solid. Our economy will collapse and his book fortells how and why, while still offering hope. Much thought to chew on.

I thought this book was perfect! I had a HUGE paper to write on the Lenni-Lenape/Delaware tribe and I couldn't find much information on them. I found this book, I bought it, I read it, I loved it, I wrote my paper using some information from it, and I got an A+ on my paper. I learned so much from this beautifully written book!

Weslager combines a flair for description with a scholarly tone to produce what is to date the most fair, accurate study of the Delaware Indians, or Lenni Lenape. Using historical, archealogical, anthropological, and ethnohistorical evidence, Weslager provides an almost complete history of this often neglected Indian tribe. This work is a must read for anyone interested in the early history of the mid-Atlantic region.

Fathers of the American Presidents by Jeff Young is unique in that it includes all the fathers of all the presidents. Inclusion of personal information about each father is interesting. Young also indicates how presidents were influenced by their fathers. The book should be included in public and school libraries so students can find out more about the presidents and their fathers.

Young seems to get at the heart of all the Presidents. An excellent reference to pick up and read chapter by chapter. Not that all the fathers are that exciting, but Young gives the reader his money's worth and then some. Quite a few surprises among the backgrounds of the highest in the land.

Many people probly are missing out on reading this book- and they definetely need to read this! its a very sad tale of a young palestinian girl who longs for her father's return- he went to look for a job in israel. When turmoil breaks out- malaak is able to stay strong- this is her incredible story. I recommend this 100%

At a time when so much violence permeates the Middle East, this "insightful gem" is a must read. The perspective presented here is seldom heard. The reader will gain an understanding of the fear, humiliation, and despair that is endured by so many people in this region. Oh, how I wish that many of our leaders would read this book!

Clinton's beautifully-written novel is a powerful evocation of people trapped in a cycle of violence and is essential reading. I thoroughly disagree with the previous reviewer's assertion that this book provides a completely one-sided view of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Both sides have been guilty of so many atrocities that any moral credit as victims has long since been used up. Malaak's hope, and the message of the novel, is to move beyond violence, not to defeat oppression with violence - from the stone in the hand to the bomber in the bus.
I also believe that the sentiment expressed by the previous reviewer - that is, that criticism of the Israeli state constitutes anti-semitism - is a dangerous and foolish position to take. If I criticise the leaders of the USA, does that make me anti-American? Actually, in the current climate, perhaps many people think it does...
