Boy Clinton: The Political Biography

by R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr., Jeff Riggenbach (Narrator)

R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., editor-in-chief of The American Spectator, traces the formative influences on the young, fatherless Clinton by the hustlers and rogues who populated his boyhood hometown of Hot Springs, Arkansas. Tyrrell shows how the influence-peddlers who dominated Arkansas politics served as Clinton's real political models, and explains how these factors combined with Clinton's '60s-era radicalism to create a new, more dangerous type of career politician. With dozens of fresh revelations about both Bill and Hillary Clinton, Tyrrell sheds important new light on their activities in Arkansas and Washington. Tyrrell also draws together the overwhelming evidence--enough to convict any lesser citizen--that the Clintons are guilty of tax fraud, obstruction of justice, and lying to government agencies.

[Jeremy Hatfield · Rating 3 out of 5]

A pretty good account of the background of the Clintons, what they did as college students, as activists, and later, as lawyers and politicians in the Arkansas system which help explain how and why Clinton ran his administration the way he did.

[Tom Schulte · Rating 2 out of 5]

Fascinating impeachment of Clinton's immorality, cronyism and abuse of power. The detailed study of the Barry Seal-Mena drugs and guns trafficking was detailed and thoroughly researched. This overtly anti-liberal author so loathes the Arkansas "yokel" persona as to border on racism and undercut much of the strength of his attack on Clinton

[Eric · Rating 2 out of 5]

Horrible stories of Bill Clinton, looks well-documented, draft-dodging, womanizing, drug-using, etc. (Almost too obviously I recall it as a screed - as things turned out, likely should have listened more closely.)
