Reviews

[Barbara Wellnitz · Rating 1 out of 5]

Author wasn't a fan of either Clinton nor women.

[Dan W · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an informative look into how the failures of the Clinton administration led to view amongst terrorists that America is a "Paper Tiger". The cowardice of Mr. Clinton's failure to tackle the issue World Trade center bombing emboldened America's enemies. While you may disagree with Mr. Lowry's politics, you cannot help but walk away from this book with a heavy feeling of contempt for the way Mr. Clinton failed to handle the needs of our country.

[Brian Olson · Rating 3 out of 5]

Scary. Its a damning expose of the Clinton presidency. I never much liked the guy, and this just reminds us about all the scandals and incompetence that marred his presidency.
