The Clintons: Their Story in Photographs

by David Elliot Cohen (Creator)

The newest addition to the acclaimed Story in Photographs series illuminates the history of perhaps the most dynamic political couple on the Bill and Hillary Clinton. The Clintons takes a fascinating look, through words and more than 220 images, at Bill's and Hillary's early lives, their personal and professional relationship, and their tumultuous but ultimately successful marriage. It examines Bill's difficult childhood and Hillary's evolution from Republican to Democrat; the couple's life in Arkansas when Bill was the nation's youngest governor and Hillary a corporate lawyer; the White House years when Bill balanced the budget and Hillary redefined the role of First Lady, and they weathered an impeachment scandal; and, finally, Hillary's run for president and her achievements as Secretary of State. This lavish volume features an artful combination of iconic images, rare photographs, insightful captions, notable speeches, and poignant quotes, as well as a foreword by Hardball host and John F. Kennedy biographer Chris Matthews.

This is a fast read in that it is filled with photographs and not tons of text. But the basics are all there. I was unaware at the time that Clinton was the president who signed FMLA and HIPAA into law. I also didn't know that Hillary started out as a Republican. Lots of quick, interesting information here, laid out in chronological order. I'm going to check out other presidential offerings by the same author.
