Clinton Presidential History Project --Appendix 2: Interviewers for the William J. Clinton Presidential History Project --Notes --List of Contributors --IndexThis book uses hundreds of hours of newly opened interviews and other sources to illuminate the life and times of the nation's forty-second president, Bill Clinton. Combining the authoritative perspective of these inside accounts with the analytic powers of some of America's most distinguished presidential scholars, the essays assembled here offer a major advance in our collective understanding of the Clinton White House. Included are path-breaking chapters on the major domestic and foreign policy initiatives of the Clinton years, as well as objective discussions of political success and failure. 42 is the first book to make extensive use of previously closed interviews collected for the Clinton Presidential History Project, conducted by the Presidential Oral History Program of the University of Virginia's Miller Center. These interviews, recorded by teams of scholars working under a veil of strict confidentiality, explored officials' memories of their service with President Clinton and their careers prior to joining the administration. Interviewees also offered political and leadership lessons they had gleaned as eyewitnesses to and shapers of history. Their spoken recollections provide invaluable detail about the inner history of the presidency in an age when personal diaries and discursive letters are seldom written.Miller Center of Public Affairs BooksForty-twoPOLITICAL SCIENCE / American Government / Executive BranchbisacshUnited StatesPolitics and government1993-2001CongressesElectronic books.POLITICAL SCIENCE / American Government / Executive Branch.973.929092Nelson Michael1949-Perry Barbara A(Barbara Ann),1956-Riley Russell L(Russell Lynn),1958-White Burkett Miller Center,MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK99104659150033214.2597956UNINA
