ALL TOO HUMAN – A Political Education

Time Warner, New York, 1999.  ISBN 1-57042-600-7.  2 cassette tapes with approximate playing time of 3 hours.  Still in shrink wrap with some wear and creasing to box.  Read by the author.  ‘For four years in the White House and one year of campaigning before that, George Stephanopoulos was rarely more than a few steps from Bill Clinton.  As the president’s senior adviser, he saw it all – the endless arguments, the back-hall scheming, the protracted decisions, and the last-minute flip-flops that somehow produced real accomplishments but also set in motion an almost tragic series of events that placed the fate of the president in the hands of the Senate. … In addition to a complex portrait of the president, here are brilliant, nuanced sketches of many of the key players, including Al Gore, Dick Morris, and Hillary Clinton, whose combative litigator instincts were, sadly, behind many of her husband’s missteps.’ (from rear box)
