" A remarkably revealing portrait. "
- Byron York, The Wall Street Journal
" Carl Bernstein presents a . . . balanced and convincing picture
of Mrs. Clinton . . . He also poses the essential concerns voters
will need to confront in deciding whether they will support Mrs.
Clinton ' s 2008 candidacy. " - Robert Dallek, The New York
Times
" [Carl Bernstein] has not lost his reporter ' s touch, and A Woman
inCharge has already refocused serious questions - and supplied new
information - about Hillary and Bill Clinton, their past behavior
and their current ambitions to regain the White House. "
- Kevin Phillips, The Washington Post Book World
" You could say Bernstein has written the definitive book on
Hillary. "
- Lynn Bronikowski, Rocky Mountain News
" Bernstein ' s A Woman in Charge is sprightly written, often
insightful in its judgments, and studded with factual nuggets that
enhance the Hillary saga. "
- Walter Shapiro, Salon.com
" This book is really a considerable achievement. "
- Peter Grier, Christian Science Monitor
" Those who adore Clinton (and those who despise her) will find
anecdotes to savor in Bernstein ' s account. But the book aims
higher, trying to illuminate a person who remains a mystery to
millions. To pry open that truth, the author tracked down sources
who might shed light on Clinton ' s character. He spoke to friends,
mentors and staffers; he gained access to the papers of the late
attorney Diane Blair, one of Clinton ' s closest friends. The work
paid off. " - Josh Getlin, Los Angeles Times
" A Woman in Charge revisits in revealing and compelling detail
thespiritual and fleshly perils that shaped the [Clintons ' ]
journey. " - Chris Lehmann-Haupt, New York Observer
" A layered, thoughtful, critical biography of the woman who, at
this writing, seems poised to become the 44th president of the
United States ... [a] revealing, admiring, often surprising book. "
- Kirkus Reviews (starred)
" Eight years in the making, Bernstein ' s thorough look at Hillary
Clinton is both fair and fascinating ... the quotes make the book
... Through [his] interviews, Bernstein moves the Hillary story to
a deeper place. " - Ilene Cooper, Booklist
