About this book

Book Summary

During their eight years in the White House, Bill and Hillary Clinton worked together more closely than the public ever knew. Their intertwined personal and professional lives had far-reaching consequences – for politics, domestic policy, and international affairs – and their marital troubles became a national soap opera. Based on unparalleled access to scores of Clinton insiders – cabinet officers, top administration officials, close personal friends – and skilled analysis of a vast written record, including previously unavailable private papers, For Love of Politics is the first book to explain the dynamics of Bill and Hillary’s relationship, showing that they are two halves of a unique whole and that it is impossible to understand one Clinton without factoring in the other.
