1998: Conservative Rehnquist was Chief Justice, Trent Lott was the Senate Majority Leader, and Newt Gingrich was Speaker of the House (both Republican). And Clinton, a democratic, peace leaning (Rwanda, Somalia and Black Hawk down, Kosovo bombings, the peace accords between Israel and the PLO's Yasser Arafat), was in the WH. This book is absolutely a product of its time.
