First in His Class: A Biography of Bill Clinton

Rating:
Summary: Not a celebrity bio. Excellent work. Must Read For '96.
Review: NOT your standard political biography. Excellent example of the craft of biography, regardless of the subject. This reads reads like fiction and author David Maraniss clearly deserved his Pulitzer for his balanced reporting on the Clinton '92 campaign. The 400+ page book ends with Clinton's announcement for president. This goes a long way to explain why Clinton is the way he is. Love or hate him you can't be indifferent. A must read before the electiion

Rating:
Summary: A candid look at Bill Clinton the man and political animal.
Review: The intoxicating power of politics gives meaning to a young man's world. The book presents an interesting insight into Clinton's thirst for political and personal acceptance
