The Secret Life of Bill Clinton: The Unreported Stories
Cited by White House press secretary Mike McCurry as the origin of every major Clinton scandal story, Evans-Pritchard has done more than other journalists to expose the truth about the Clintons. Now he's breaking the biggest scoop of all: an assiduously documented expose of "the black-water scandals" that have gone unreported in the media, but that characterize the Clinton presidency as the most corrupt in history. Among the exposes: The Oklahoma City bombing as a government sting operation that flew out of control when the stingers were outstung. He tells the story the FBI & Justice Department don't want known. Eyewitnesses to corruption in Clinton's Arkansas have met with harassment, physical intimidation & even death. Those who survived tell Evans-Pritchard their story. Clinton's involvement in the Arkansas drug underworld. He talks to the smugglers, state troopers, federal agents & prosecutors, & the girls who were the victims of "the good times." The true story of Vince Foster's death--what the official report doesn't say, but what eyewitnesses saw & why the government is being sued for falsifying sworn testimony. In the aftermath of Vince Foster, the story of the murder of Jerry Parks, Clinton security head in Little Rock. Why Parks predicted his own death. Why the Left was right about Mena Airport: he discovers the missing evidence.

I read this during the recent election campaign in the US, partly to see what all the talk of Clinton corruption was about. Also, I must admit, because the author was described in unflattering terms, as a bit of a nut case, in David Brock’s book ‘Blinded by the Right.’ I wanted to see how much of that was true.
The title is a bit misleading, as it suggests that it’s about Bill Clinton’s sexual peccadilloes, when in fact it doesn’t talk about those at all (well, hardly at all) This was written before Monica, which might explain it.
What it does talk about: the Oklahoma City bombing, the suspicious death of Vince Foster, and Bill Clinton’s shady doings while he was Governor of Arkansas. Evans-Pritchard achieves the remarkable feat of making some of the most outlandish conspiracy theories seem plausible, thanks to a mountain of documentation. The suspicious circumstances surrounding Vince Foster’s death, for instance, would take too long to go in here, but they are disturbingly convincing. Likewise the theory behind the Oklahoma City bombing, that it was an attempt by the government to infiltrate right-wing hate groups gone horribly wrong. A key player was in all probability a member of the German intelligence services: a decade after the bombing, the case against a far-right party in Germany would break down because it was found that the secret service had infiltrated the party up to the highest levels (link: https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2002...). So it is not too hard to believe that government agents didn’t grasp the distinction between infiltrating and incitement, with calamitous results.
As to the author being a nut case, he is still working in journalism, as Business Editor for the Daily Telegraph, and his columns don’t strike me as the work of a right wing loon.

Simply scary. There needs to be a formal investigation into the Clinton political machine.

This is my father-in-law's book and it was eye-opening, to say the least. The author has done a lot of research and talked about the Oklahoma Federal Building, Waco, death of Vincent Foster, Dan Lasater, Roger Clinton, Don Tyson, Mena Airport, Paula Jones, the coverup of the highest powers of the nation and their agencies. How did he become President and the nation still reveres him! Truly amazing.

A very excellent overview of the shadier side of the Clinton administration written by an excellent British journalist.
