A classic account of courage, integrity and most of all, belonging.
Hillary Rodham Clinton's time as First Lady is portrayed as a pivotal moment in her extensive political career, rather than her only achievement. Gil Troy's engaging narrative offers a nuanced exploration of Clinton's complex legacy, highlighting her as a significant and controversial figure in American history. The book balances critique and admiration, presenting a comprehensive view of Clinton's impact and the challenges she faced, making it a compelling read for those interested in her multifaceted role in politics.
Many Americans feel that presidentials have become inordinately expensive, shallow, and vulgar. The seemingly endless contest even appears to discourage the most suitable candidates from seeking the highest office in the land. Frustrated, we long for the good old days of dignified campaigns and worthy candidates. As Troy's fascinating history demonstrates, however, they never existed. This definitive volume examines every presidential campaign from 1840 to the present to explore why candidates campaign as they do, and why Americans complain about it. Troy reveals what our presidential campaigns tell us about American democracy itself.
