No one better understands the inner Bill Clinton, that creature of endless and vexing contradiction, than Dick Morris. In the wake of Clinton's wildly popular autobiography 'My Life', Morris and his wife, Eileen McGann, set the record straight with the bestselling 'Because He Could', a frank and perceptive deconstruction of the story Clinton tells - and the many more stories he leaves untold. Revealing the hidden sides of the complicated and sometimes dysfunctional former president, Morris and McGann expose a figure who is brilliant but undisciplined, charming yet volatile, willing to take wild risks in his personal life but deeply reluctant to use the military to protect our national security.
The Bill Clinton who emerges is familiar - reflexively blaming every problem on right-wing persecutors or naïve advisers - but also surprising: passive, reactive, working desperately to solve a laundry list of social problems. His downfall, the authors argue, has far less to do with his private demons than with his fear of the one person who controlled his future: his own first lady.
Full of compelling insider anecdotes, 'Because He Could' is a probing portrait of one of the most fascinating, and polarizing, figures of our time.
