    About this ebook

    "I don't quit. I keep going."
    –Hillary Rodham Clinton

    She is, quite simply, the most famous, most complex, most loved/hated/admired/reviled woman -- perhaps person -- in America. And, whether she fulfills her life's ambition or not, she can already lay claim to being the first woman ever considered a serious contender for the presidency.

    From the beginning, there have been the inevitable comparisons to Argentina's legendary Eva Perón. Sex, power, money, lies, scandal, tragedy, and betrayal were the things that defined the lives of both women. Yet most of what we know about Hillary Rodham Clinton is seen in the context of her tumultuous marriage to the 42nd President. Now a power in the Senate, Hillary waits for the right moment to make her own run for the White House.

    In the style of his #l New York Times bestsellers The Day Diana Died and The Day John Died, as well as Jack and Jackie, Jackie After Jack, George and Laura and Sweet Caroline, Christopher Andersen draws on important sources -- many speaking here for the first time -- to paint a startling portrait of America's most controversial woman. Among the revelations:

    • How U.S. history has been shaped -- and will continue to be shaped -- by the arrangement between Hillary and Bill known as "The Plan."
    • Important new details about the role Hillary played in the scandalous eleventh hour pardons of armed radicals, drug dealers, tax cheats, embezzlers, money launderers and more.
    • How the outgoing First Lady registered like a bride at a gift store and left the White House with $400,000 worth of "gifts" belonging to the American people.
    • How JFK Jr. almost thwarted her Senate plans.
    • New details about Hillary's relationship with Vince Foster.
    • How Hillary has coped with Bill's hundreds of affairs, and the new women in her husband's life.
    • What Martha Stewart did for Hillary, and how Hillary repaid her.
    • How Hillary is using the 2004 elections as a springboard to her own future presidential candidacy—regardless of who wins.

    Whatever the ultimate judgment of history, the ongoing saga of Hillary Clinton's inexorable rise to power continues to stir passions, and to make her the American Evita.

      Perfecto OK Nice

      This is a book intended to smear Hillary's character.

    • 1/5
      So far, it seems to be a rather critical look at Hillary Clinton's rise to the top.
    • 3/5
      Published in 2004, this was not very flattering to Hillary. Several days after finishing, the things that stick in my mind are: 1) The student-era dark-haired Hillary who wore large glasses allegedly did not bathe often, and 2) The Clintons supposedly did not want a Democratic victory in 2004 as that would make it harder for Hillary to run in 2008. I do not know if any of this is actually true.
    • 4/5
      Get to know Hillary Clinton and some of the things that have happened in her past, present, and what she will want to do once she becomes president. I found this book very chilling and astonishing. A must read for anyone who plans on thinking about Hillary for this upcoming election
    • 4/5
      Journalist Anderson argues that Bill Clinton and his wife, New York senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, are engaged in a long-term plan to win the presidency for Mrs. Clinton and a Supreme Court position for the former chief executive. I am sure no one ever doubted that they had planned to be in the White House for sixteen years. Though I could never in my wildest dreams see former President Clinton appointed to the Supreme Court. You will read information that shows who Hillary really is. The book does re-hash some of their old and known crimes, and illuminates more details. And more importantly we see just how ruthless Hillary really is. This book supports the allegations that Mrs. Clinton does not represent the democrats or any other party or person then herself. And she will destroy anyone who gets in her way. Hillary has spent years learning to hide who she really is from many. All this in an effort to try and make herself electable for public office. There is no question that she is intelligent, but very self-serving. If people knew what she really believed in, she would have even had lost Bill Clinton the White House. As this book is about Mrs. Clinton, be warned it does contain some of the strong language she is well known for. Yet still, this is a must read.
