Title: Blood Sport: The President and His Adversaries by James B. Stewart ISBN: 0684831392 Publisher: Touchstone Books Pub. Date: April, 1997 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $14.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.6
Rating: 4
Summary: Whitewater Explained--Finally
Comment: If anyone is still interested in what the fuss was all about, they should read this. Blood Sport is written totally objectively and deals with all the players involved in every Clinton scandal except for Monica, which broke after publication.
The book details the business partnerships the Clintons had with the McDougals from the 1970's on the 1990's and its fall out. The story stretches from Arkansas to the White House and even goes a bit into the suicide of Vince Foster.
Stewart makes no judgments as to whether any impropriety occurred in any business dealings, so this is a good place to start for an objective reader who wants to make up his own mind about the whole sordid mess.
Rating: 4
Summary: Too much detail but overall very informative.
Comment: When I opened this book I was hoping for all the juicy details on the Presidents
dirty deeds in Ark. In some ways I got what I wanted and I didn't.
The book has a ring of truth and fairness about it. On the one hand Stewart
lets the President off on the Whitewater charges but spills the beans on all
the other dirty little secrets. Those who want to see Mr Clinton fall will be
disappointed with this writing and those want to see the President exeronated
will also be disappointed. But then again the truth is usually disappointing.
Read the book, it's a good read. But be prepared to wade through a lot of
detail to get to the truth.
Rating: 4
Summary: Balanced, accessible and ultimately so sad
Comment: James B. Stewart is a very rare writer, indeed -- especially in regards to the Clintons. He's a genuine reporter looking for the facts and he appears to have no agenda (meaning he's not the apologist Gail Sheehy is, nor is he the demonizer Anne Coulter is). He presents the failed land deal of Whitewater for what it was -- a bad and perhaps even improper investment that was made to look illegal by the stumbling, bumbling and arrogance of the Clintons. Ditto for Hillary's commodities trading. There are no high crimes here, and if the First Lady hadn't been so determined to protect her privacy it may have just evaporated. If only Bill and Hillary had listened to lawyer (and Watergate veteran) Nussbaum and made their records/returns available in the first place, taxpayers would have been spared millions of dollars in investigations and the President would have been better able to concentrate on health care, education, foreign policy and all the other issues he discussed in the campaign. And if a special prosecutor hadn't already been in place, it's possible none of us would even know the name "Monica Lewinsky." It almost made me ache for what might have been.
Stewart makes the complicated accessible and breathes life into Little Rock and White House denizens. Jim MacDougall, Nussbaum and especially Vince Foster are more sympathetic, human and ultimately tragic than ever before. And I wonder how new This Week commentator George Stephanopolous feels about this book ... This book does not depict him in his finest hour.
