In Search of Bill Clinton: A Psychological Biography
by John D. Gartner
On This Page
Description
William Jefferson Clinton, the 42nd President of the United States is undoubtedly the greatest American enigma of our age--a dark horse that captured the White House, fell from grace and was resurrected as an elder statesman whose popularity rises and falls based on the day's sound bytes. John Gartner's In Search of Bill Clinton unravels the mystery at the heart of Clinton's complex nature and why so many people fall under his spell.Tags

an hagiographic biography masquerading as a psychodynamic study of the president. the author clearly needs a knee replacement after all the genuflecting he did before Clinton. He doesn't come off as a psychotherapist that you would want to employ.
I try to be neutral toward our former president. I was hoping for some insights to his thinking and actions. What I got was nothing more than a syrupy hagiography by a male Monica wannabe.
Fascinating book about the forces and people that shaped the psyche of Bill Clinton as he was growing and how this impaacted his adult life politically and personally. Very interesting read!
