While I’m not the biggest Bill Clinton fan, it’s pretty obvious that author, Robert Patterson bares all in this book about his disdain (and not just about the presidency) for former Pres. Bill Clinton and his administration.
Patterson makes it clear that he stayed on board to do the best that he could do to help lead our country in a way that he thought was the best
direction for it to go (militarily wise), but that he was under the direction and guidance of a new presidential administration with Bill Clinton.
It’s a pretty good “insider’s book” at a look at a lot of the dysfunction and craziness that was going on during Bill Clinton’s administration. Of course, “Hawks and Doves” rarely see eye to eye, and this relationship was no exception. That, added along with a lot of the “distractions” of the Clinton administration and it’s a wonder that Patterson hung in there as long as he did in the first place.
This book is much more than just another “Monday Morning Quarterbacking” or an “I told you so” type of recollections, because the author,
Robert Patterson, being of the military personnel, was up close and personal to the ongoing and growing terrorist threats that were coming our way most likely beginning during Clinton’s administration. Clinton, to his credit was more focused on growing the economy and spreading democratic diplomacy throughout the world.
No matter, which side of the aisle you’re on, this is a book that will keep your interest throughout… even though you probably know the ending pretty well by now.
