Man of the World

ebook
"A rich, believable portrait of a master politician out of office: needy, rivalrous, thin-skinned, proud, hot-tempered." —The New York Review of Books

Updated in 2017 and hailed as, "engrossing...detailed and intimate" (Publishers Weekly), veteran political journalist Joe Conason's Man of the World brings you along with Bill Clinton, as the forty-second president blazes new paths in his post-presidential career.
It is unlike the second career of any other president: "Bill Clinton" is a global brand, rising from the dark days of his White House departure to become one of the most popular names in the world. In his "deeply researched" (The New York Times Book Review) Man of the World, Joe Conason describes how that happened, examining Clinton's achievements, his failures, his motivations, and his civilian life. He explains why Clinton's ambitions for the world continue to inspire (and infuriate).

Conason, who has covered Clinton for twenty years, interviewed him many times for this book—as well as Hillary and Chelsea and many of his friends, aides, rivals, and supporters. He has travelled with Clinton to Africa, Haiti, Israel, and across America. Conason's "often absorbing chronicle captures the energy and charisma of the former president as he...finds a mission in his philanthropic work in Africa, Asia, and elsewhere" (Kirkus Reviews). Man of the World—starring the one and only Bill Clinton—tells the engrossing story of an extraordinary man who is still seeking to do good in the world.
