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 access to scores of Clinton insiders--cabinet officers, top administration officials, close personal friends--and analysis of previously unavailable private papers, this is the first book to explain the dynamics of their 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. Smith examines the origins of an unconventional copresidency, explains the impact of the Clintons' tensions as well as their talents, and offers intimate scenes from the marriage, with new details and insights into how a passion for politics sustained Bill and Hillary through one crisis after another.--From publisher description.
