Working behind the scenes for the 18 months following Bill's election, Bob Woodward has discovered how the Clinton White House really works. In The Agenda, he offers one of the most intimate portraits of a sitting president ever published, taking us not only to the highest level meetings, the hard-fought debates, and most difficult decisions but also to the very heart of this presidency -- and of this man.

In a day-by-day, at times minute-by-minute, account, President Clinton is shown debating, scolding, pleading, celebrating, and raging in anger and frustration. What emerges also is a group portrait of Clinton's innermost circle of advisers in action -- including his wife Hillary, Vice President Al Gore, Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen and the economic team, the White House staff, and outside political strategists.

In this gripping audio adaptation, The Agenda reveals the deep and still unsettled conflicts among Clinton's advisers and within himself -- on the questions that affect every person in this country.

Review:
A no-holds-barred look inside the Clinton White House during the first one hundred days of his presidency. What emerges is a portrait of a man hampered by his struggle to do the right thing. Despite the defeat of the health care initiative and the bungling first steps of a naive administration, Woodward uncovers the essential decency of the man from Hope.
About the Author:
Bob Woodward is the Assistant Managing Editor for investigations at The Washington Post. Over the last twenty years, he has authored or co-authored six number-one national bestsellers. Woodward and Carl Bernstein, in their Pulitzer Prize-winning work for The Washington Post and their two books, All the President's Men and The Final Days, set the standard for White House reporting. Since then Woodward has tackled the Supreme Court in The Brethren, the Hollywood drug culture in Wired, the CIA in Veil, and the Pentagon in The Commanders. In The Agenda, he returns to the White House drama, producing one of the most illuminating books on the modern presidency.
