By: Branch, TaylorMaterial type: TextTextPublication details: London Pocket Books 2009Description: x; 707 pISBN: 9781847391827Subject(s): United States | Politics and government | Clinton, Bill, 1946- | PresidentsDDC classification: 973.9290926 Summary: THE CLINTON TAPES was a secret project, initiated by Clinton, to preserve for future historians an unfiltered record of presidential experience. During his eight years in office, Clinton met with Taylor Branch in the White House, usually late at night, to answer questions and tell stories. Branch recorded seventy-nine of their dialogues to compile a trove of raw information in Clinton's own words about a presidency as it happened. Branch then recorded his own detailed recollections immediately after each session, covering not only the subjects discussed but also the look and feel of each evening with the president. Their discussions were unpredictable, intense, and candid. At any given moment the president could leap from memories to a current crisis or problems with his daughter's homework. The resultant text captures Clinton from many angles.
