President Bill Clinton’s My Life is the strikingly candid portrait of a global leader who decided early in life to devote his intellectual and political gifts, and his extraordinary capacity for hard work, to serving the public.
It shows us the progress of a remarkable American, who, through his own enormous energies and efforts, made the unlikely journey from Hope, Arkansas, to the White House
It is the gripping account of a president under conserted and unrelenting assault orchestrated by his enemies on the Far Right and how he survived and prevailed.
It is a treasury of moments caught alive, among them:
- The roller-coaster ride of the 1992 campaign.
- The Extraordinarily frank exchanges with Newt Gingrich and Bob Dole.
- The Cost, both public and private, of the scandal that threatened the presidency
Here is the life of a great national and international figure, revealed with all his talents and contradictions, told openly, directly, in his own completely recognizable voice.

Nice review .....
I purchased the hardcover when it first came out but could only manage a chapter or two here and there ... it's massive! ... Audible had the abridged version which is probably what you've listened to ... I'm looking forward to listening to it this Spring when I start the garden work
from what I did read, you could tell he wrote it himself as he did with most of his speeches ... he has a very unique writing style

THIS ONE
is actually Clinton reading. So you get the full extent of what he is trying to say. You can hear the inflection, the emotion and everything else. I think it wouldnt be the same if someone else read it.
