| Publisher Description: Bill Clinton's Presidency has been the most turbulent in recent history, as this talented but flawed and perplexing man has struggled to govern. On the Edge is the first full-spectrum report on the Clinton Presidency. From its first days, Drew spoke with the President's top advisers, key Cabinet officers, and members of Congress as she watched -- up close -- as policies were hammered out and crises confronted. Drew tells the remarkable story of this fascinating term and deciphers what it means for this country. |
