Stewart was a reporter brought on by the Clinton White House to independently investigate Whitewater. The story starts with the mysterious suicide of White House counsel and rumoured Hillary lover Vince Foster.
Stewart goes step-by-step through the Clintons' political career, the constant womanizing of Bill Clinton, the failed land deal of Whitewater, the friends Hillary made involved in insider commodities trading (not illegal), and the first run for the White House. The book ends about the time the Paula Jones scandal was gaining ground.

It's an interesting look at the advisors to the Clintons, their recklessness, their paranoia about the media, and just how sometimes they ended up at the wrong place at the wrong time. I found it useful to hear Whitewater explained completely, including all of its weirdness and shadiness.

Read in 2014
Excellent book, especially read in hindsight..
Again pertinent in view of Hillary Clinton's desire to run for president in 2016
Cast of thousands which makes for some confusion but fascinating - everyone wants to be the best buddy of those in power! ( )

Helped me understand the Vincent Foster- Whitewater scandals. ( )
