President Bill Clinton's My Life is the
strikingly candid portrait of a global leader who decided early in life
to devote his intellectual and political gifts, and his extraordinary
capacity for hard work, to serving the public.
It shows us the progress of a remarkable American, who, through his own
enormous energies and efforts, made the unlikely journey from Hope,
Arkansas, to the White House--a journey fueled by an impassioned
interest in the political process which manifested itself at every
stage of his life: in college, working as an intern for Senator William
Fulbright; at Oxford, becoming part of the Vietnam War protest
movement; at Yale Law School, campaigning on the grassroots level for
Democratic candidates; back in Arkansas, running for Congress, attorney
general, and governor.
We see his career shaped by his resolute determination to improve the
life of his fellow citizens, an unfaltering commitment to civil rights,
and an exceptional understanding of the practicalities of political
life.
