"Bill Clinton, as the forty-second president blazes new paths in his post-presidential career. It is unlike the second career of any other president: "Bill Clinton" is a global brand, rising from the dark days of his White House departure to become one of the most popular names in the world. Conason describes how that happened, examining Clinton's achievements, his failures, his motivations, and his civilian life. He explains why Clinton's ambitions for the world continue to inspire (and infuriate). Clinton has earned tens of millions of dollars and raised billions for philanthropy, much of it from foreign sources, provoking questions about transparency and probity even as Hillary Clinton runs again for the presidency. The author closely examines the financial support from other countries, corporations, and wealthy individuals, while assessing the Clinton Foundation's very real, far reaching achievements. He observes Clinton campaigning for his wife and asks: How would America's very first First Gentleman fare in a Hillary Clinton White House?"--Provided by publisher.
