Spin Cycle

Bill Clinton is the most investigated President since Richard Nixon, facing inquiries into Whitewater, campaign fundraising abuses and sexual misconduct, and yet he began 1998 with ratings as high as those of Ronald Reagan. As the year progressed, the President became more and more beleaguered as the scandals continued to unfold whilst astonishingly his popularity remained high. How did he do it?
This book reveals the inside workings of Clinton's well oiled propaganda machine, depicting a White House obsessed with spin. In an account that reads like a thriller, he lifts the curtain on tactics employed by the increasingly desperate spin doctors as they fight to protect their boss. As the scandal drums louder and louder, Kurtz shows what it takes for a president to survive in office and what happens to the truth along the way.
