Book Details

When Hillary Clinton spoke of "a vast right-wing conspiracy" determined to bring down the president, many people dismissed the idea. Yet if the first lady's accusation was exaggerated, the facts that have since emerged point toward a covert and often concerted effort by Bill Clinton's enemies--abetted by his own reckless behavior--which led inexorably to impeachment. Clinton's foes launched a cascade of well-financed attacks that undermined American democracy and nearly destroyed the Clinton presidency.

In vivid prose, Joe Conason and Gene Lyons, two award-winning veteran journalists, identify the antagonists, reveal their tactics, trace the millions of dollars that subsidized them, and examine how and why mainstream news organizations aided those who were determined to bring down Bill Clinton, The Hunting of the President may very well be the All the President's Men of this political regime.

In The News

“Multitudes of historians will write multitudes of books--but a hundred years from now the primary source on the so-called Clinton scandals will still be The Hunting of the President by Joe Conason and Gene Lyons.” —James Carville

“The true story of those pursuing imagined demons is more entertaining and instructive than the fevered fantasies spun to frighten us...On the Clinton scandals, this is the book by which to judge all others.” —The Denver Post

“It is a dense, penetrating...walk down the back alleys of what Hillary Clinton famously called a 'vast right-wing conspiracy'...Dogged and thorough.” —The Boston Globe

“It's frightening to realize how easily a loose cabal of often well-financed Clinton haters manipulated a press overly distrustful of government. This [is an] eminently readable and thorough--as well as thoroughly maddening--study.” —Seattle Weekly

“If you want to know what's really been going on, you have a good book here...you have the Joe Conascon and Gene Lyons book which explains how this all happened.” —President Bill Clinton (speaking of Whitewater)
