| description | As President of the one true superpower Bill Clinton is recognised from Beijing to St Petersburg, from Caracas to Johannesburg; the ruddy face, the bear-like hug, THAT hair are instantly identifiable, triggering a series of other images that have attached themselves to him during his period of office such as the smirk of alleged adulteries, the whiff of financial impropriety, the buzz of drugs for which Clinton bailed his brother out of jail. Each of these incidents has been the subject of intensve press scrutiny and speculation, and the media has heaped opprobrium on Clinton to a degree unknown previously in global politics. More than any other President, Clinton is both a product and a manipulator of the media that is his constant companion. In this biography Martin Walker interprets the media with the expert eye of a vastly experienced member of the political pack. He sees inside the tactics and the deliberate representations that both Bill and Hillary have adopted to sway opinion in their favour. |
