Decrypting the Complex character of Hillary

Wow! is what my initial response to this book. Hillary Clinton has always been a character that puzzled me a lot. I had exactly the same questions that Bernstein had. Who is 'really' Hillary Clinton? What is her character? What is her political philosophy? What can we expect of her if she becomes our next President? Is she an opportunist? Does she deserve our votes? At a time when almost everyone thinks that Hillary is one arrogant opportunistic politician who married and remained with Bill Clinton to advance politically and obtain power, Bernstein sees it from a different angle and definitely brings out a clear and balanced portrait of this complex personality. What makes this book unique is the candid and undisputable facts that Bernstein refers to. I was especially blown away by the rare findings that was revealed through Hillary's best friend, Diane Blair and Betsey Wright, Clinton's gubernatorial chief of staff in Arkansas. Bernstein reveals that throughout Hillary Clinton's years in the White House, the characteristic of her approach was to view politics as war. 'One aide in the 1992 presidential campaign told Bernstein, 'She's happiest when she's fighting.'' and she refused to read newspapers during the White House years. Bernstein tells us with excellent facts the reasons that made her change all of these attitudes that would not have suited her future endeavors. Bernstein has definitely produced an excellent book: thorough, balanced, and deeply reported facts that has certainly decrypted the complex character of one of the most compelling figures in the world today who helped define one presidency and may well step into another that all of us keep a close eye on. Five stars 5/5. N.Sivakumar Author of America Misunderstood: What a Second Bush Victory Meant to the Rest of the World

Very eye opening book. I wasn't sure what to make of Hillary Rod

Very eye opening book. I wasn't sure what to make of Hillary Rodham Clinton before, but I find myself admiring her now. I also am convinced that a lot of the poor reviews of this book come from biased Republicans who will do anything to besmirch Hillary's personal reputation, so I'd advise taking those reviews with a grain of salt - especially if they contain ridiculous spelling errors or names like "Sarah Palin."
