I wanted to read a book that was critical of Hillary Clinton. What is the worst anyone can say of her and accuse her of? I feel this book is a pretty good answer to that question. I was impressed that the author had 131 footnotes in 80 pages of material. He was careful to document his sources, many of which were credible and not just Conservative.

Much of the book is slanted in its depiction and all of it is anti-Hillary. From all the well documented sources it is clear that the Clintons had numerous shady financial dealings during their Arkansas days and shared little to no conception or expectation of monogamy towards one another. Does this make Hillary unqualified for office? I think that is a question every voter has to decide for him- or herself.

Nothing I read in the book convinces me that Hillary would make a poor political leader. Even this book's unfriendly portrait of her makes it clear that she is intelligent, competent, and tenacious at getting what she goes after. She keeps a level head publicly in the worst of storms. These can be good attributes to see in a leader whose policy positions you largely agree with.
