From the Arkansas governor's races through the planning of the triumphant 1996 reelection, Morris was Clinton's most valued political adviser. Now, in the wake of Clinton's million-selling memoir \u003cem\u003eMy Life\u003c\/em\u003e, Morris and his wife, Eileen McGann, set the record straight with \u003cem\u003eBecause He Could\u003c\/em\u003e, a frank and perceptive deconstruction of the story Clinton tells -- and the many more revealing stories he leaves untold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the same keen insight they brought to Hillary Clinton's life in their recent bestseller \u003cem\u003eRewriting History\u003c\/em\u003e, Morris and McGann uncover the hidden sides of the complicated and sometimes dysfunctional former president. Whereas Hillary is anxious to mask who she really is, they show, Bill Clinton inadvertently reveals himself at every turn -- as both brilliant and undisciplined, charming yet often filled with rage, willing to take wild risks in his personal life but deeply reluctant to use the military to protect our national security. The Bill Clinton who emerges is familiar -- reflexively blaming every problem on right-wing persecutors or naïve advisers -- but also surprising: passive, reactive, working desperately to solve a laundry list of social problems yet never truly grasping the real thrust of his own presidency. And while he courted danger in his personal life, the authors argue that Clinton's downfall has far less to do with his private demons than with his fear of the one person who controlled his future: his own first lady.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSharp and stylishly written, full of revealing insider anecdotes, \u003cem\u003eBecause He Could\u003c\/em\u003e is a fresh and probing portrait of one of the most fascinating, and polarizing, figures of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dick Morris, Eileen McGann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.72h x 5.52w x 0.85d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060792138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2005 pg. 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMorris, Dick:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDick Morris served as Bill Clinton's political consultant for twenty years.
