Reviews

[Aurora Grace · Rating 1 out of 5]

Given Huckabee's support for Trump, this self-aggrandizing book about integrity and ethical character in the wake of the Clinton scandal has aged very poorly indeed.

[Michael Toleno · Rating 4 out of 5]

Huckabee describes the story of how Governor Jim Guy Tucker, having been convicted on two felony counts in the Whitewater scandal, handed over the governorship of Arkansas to him. It gives a lot of insight to the character of Tucker, the Clintons, and their associates.
