Trade Review"William H. Chafe understands, as do too few historians and biographers, that the personal and public lives of political figures cannot be separated. . . . Chafe is quite right to insist that the stories of Bill and Hillary Clinton prove the point." -- Jonathan Yardley * Washington Post *
"Riveting. . . . Chafe sees clearly what we who were there, chronicling the Clintons in real time, missed." -- David M. Shribman * Boston Globe *
