[*Read by the author - Joe Conason]Veteran political journalist Joe Conason takes listeners inside the post-presidential exploits of Bill Clinton -- as colorful, controversial, and significant as ever.The extraordinary post-presidency of William Jefferson Clinton is unlike the second career of any other president. ''Bill Clinton'' is a global brand, ascending from the dark days of his White House departure to become perhaps the most popular name in the world. Joe Conason explains how that happened, examining Clinton's achievements, his failures, and his motivations and why his outlook on the world continues to inspire and infuriate on a grand scale. Having known Clinton for over twenty years, Conason interviewed him many times for this book and gained access to dozens of the former president's colleagues, friends, aides, supporters, and family members, including Hillary and Chelsea.
