Synopsis

Weekly Standard editor Daniel Halper provides a meticulously researched account of the brilliant calculations, secret deals, and occasionally treacherous maneuverings that led to the Clintons’ return to political prominence.

In the twelve years since the Clintons left the White House, they have gone from being virtually penniless to multi-millionaires, and are arguably the most popular politicians in America—respected and feared by Republicans and Democrats alike. But behind that rise is a never-before-told story of strategic cleverness, reckless gambles, and an unquenchable thirst for political power.

Investigative reporter Daniel Halper uses a wealth of research, exclusive documents, and detailed interviews with close friends, allies, and enemies of the Clintons to reveal the strategy they used and the deals they made to turn their political fortunes around. Clinton, Inc. exposes the relationship between President Obama, the Bush family, and the Clintons—and what it means for the future; how Bill and Hillary are laying the groundwork for the upcoming presidential campaign; how Vice President Biden and other Democrats are trying to maneuver around her; Chelsea’ s political future; the Clintons’ skillful media management; the Clintons’ marriage and why it has survived; and an inside look at the Clinton’s financial backers and hidden corporate enterprises.

Clinton, Inc. is the key to understanding America’s most powerful political couple.

From the Back Cover

The Weekly Standard reporter Daniel Halper compiles a wealth of research, exclusive documents, and candid interviews with former Clinton administration officials, senators, congressmen, friends, allies, and former enemies to reveal how Bill and Hillary rebuilt their reputations in the wake of scandal and mistakes, reconstructed their political machine, and positioned themselves for even greater success.

A story of strategic calculation, backroom deals, reckless gambles, and an unquenchable thirst for wealth and power, Clinton, Inc. describes in intimate detail how the Bill and Hillary partnership works, demonstrating how they are, in effect, dual CEOs of a single enterprise focused on the ultimate goal of reclaiming political power. Halper provides insights into their relationships with Barack Obama, the Bush family, their financial backers, and even their most bitter former enemies; Bill and Hillary's plans for Chelsea's future; and how the Clintons are preparing for the 2016 presidential campaign and beyond. He also lays out a comprehensive Republican effort to bring their ambitions to a halt.
