Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:

The Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and author of Parting the Waters recounts the intimate talks he shared with the forty-second president during the latter's two terms in office, in an account that shares the writer's perspectives on lesser-known aspects of Clinton's private torments, family life at the White House, and presidential challenges.


Review:

"The Bill Clinton who emerges here is a master practitioner of an art that is routinely derided--foolishly--these days: he's an unabashed, unapologetic politician. To the extent that Branch's portrait of the president rescues politics from ignominy, he has done a real public service; that he has done this while vividly portraying an exuberant American original is cause for joy."

Joe Klein, New York Times Book Review, 09/27/2009

Review:

"...THE CLINTON TAPES proves to be a remarkable read, paying out the huge dividends of history that Branch had hoped for. And as a corollary, Clinton's long-term reputation is bound to take an upward revisionist spike because of this important publication. Love him or hate him, as Branch makes abundantly clear, Clinton was always on the job. Furthermore, with the advantage of hindsight, Clinton's anti-deficit crusade looks downright heroic --as does his Herculean effort to bring human rights to Haiti and Africa."

Douglas Brinkley, Los Angeles Times, 10/04/2009

Book Description: SIMON SCHUSTER, United States, 2009. CD-Audio. Book Condition: New. Abridged edition. 152 x 130 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Branch interviewed President Clinton 78 times between 1993 and 2001 for roughly two hours each time. The President's side of those conversations formed the basis of his own memoir. Branch, immediately after each session, recorded his take not only on the content of their conversations, but on Clinton's demeanor, moods, puzzlements and the homely aspects of his and his family's life in the West Wing. Because the mission was confidential, Branch encountered mostly the permanent, anonymous staff at the official residence: the ushers and butlers, who guided him to await Clinton in various rendezvous spots. Several tape sessions took place in the family den next to the President's bedroom, on a table next to Hillary's collection of ornamental frogs, or in the upstairs Solarium. Most took place in the President's private office. The book highlights major events from Clinton's two terms, including war in Bosnia, the antideficit crusade, health reform failure, antterrorist strikes, peace initiatives, the 1996 re-election campaign, and Whitewater investigations culminating in his 1999 impeachment trial.It is a rare look at the pressures of a job that Branch watched age this relatively young president.
