Sinopsis

In 1993, William J. Clinton began his eight year stint as forty-second president of the United States. A key figure of change in the Democratic Party, ClintonâÇÖs political and personal actions ensured his lasting status as an important ifácontroversial leader at a critical moment in recent American history. In Bill Clinton: Building a Bridge to the New Millennium, David H. Bennett traces ClintonâÇÖs life and career from childhood through his two terms in the White House. From childhood to college, state government to the executive branch, Bennett provides a concise and readable biography that places ClintonâÇÖs achievements, problems, and legacy in historical context.Situating the former president in the trajectory of 20th century liberalism, Bennett draws on ClintonâÇÖs life to illuminate the political landscape of America in the 1990s and the role of the U.S. in the global context of the post-Cold War world. Combining keen scholarship with accessible prose, this will be an essential resource for students and all those interested in understanding the recent history of the U.S.
