No One Left to Lie To: The Triangulations of William Jefferson Clinton
Autor Christopher Hitchens Cuvânt înainte de Douglas Brinkleyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 apr 2012
In NO ONE LEFT TO LIE TO, a New York Times bestseller, Christopher Hitchens casts an unflinching eye on the Clinton political machine and offers a searing indictment of a president who sought to hold power at any cost.
With blistering wit and meticulous documentation, Hitchens masterfully deconstructs Clinton's abject propensity for pandering to the Left while delivering to the Right, and he argues that the president's personal transgressions were ultimately inseparable from his political corruption.
Hitchens questions the president's refusals to deny accusations of rape by reputable women and lambasts, among numerous impostures, his insistence on playing the race card, the shortsightedness of his welfare bill, his ludicrous war on drugs, and his abandonment of homosexuals in the form of the Defense of Marriage Act.
Opportunistic statecraft, crony capitalism, "divide and rule" identity politics, and populist manipulations-these are perhaps Clinton's greatest and most enduring legacies.

Recenzii
"You
don't
buy
Christopher
Hitchens's
book
because
you
want
to
find
out
whether
Bill
Clinton
is
really
as
terrible
a
liar
as
some
people
say
he
is.
You
buy
it
because
you
know
he
is
a
terrible
liar,
and
the
invitation
to
have
a
pungent
fellow
like
Hitchens
confirm
every
prejudice
you
ever
had
on
the
subject,
plus
a
few
you
might
not
even
have
known
you
had,
is
an
invitation
you
cannot
resist."—Louis
Menand,New

"By far the best of all the books on the Clinton era."—Edward Said,Al-Ahram Weekly
"With a witty bluntness uncommon in today's political discourse, Hitchens boldly puts the pieces of the Clinton puzzle together-and isn't afraid to describe the result . . . Hitchens's brave willingness to show all the sordid scenarios in which our emperor has removed his clothes is beyond refreshing."—Karen Lehrman,New York Times Book Review
"Christopher Hitchens is a remarkable commentator. He jousts with fraudulence of every stripe and always wins. I regret he has only one life, one mind, and one reputation to put at the service of my country."—Joseph Heller
