"Man of the World, by Joe Conason, is so valuable…[The
book] offers a great deal of interesting detail and, just
underneath the surface, a rich, believable portrait of a master
politician out of office: needy, rivalrous, thin-skinned, proud,
hot-tempered."
*The New York Review of Books*
“The author's often absorbing chronicle captures the energy and
charisma of the former president as he turns to the admiring global
community, launching a “frantic, peripatetic career as the world's
best-paid public speaker” and finding a mission in his
philanthropic work in Africa, Asia, and elsewhere. . . . the book
offers sharp insights . . . The author offers many telling
details.”
*Kirkus Reviews*
“Conason shows his writing and research chops to full advantage in
this engrossing look at former president Bill Clinton in his
post-presidency years. From the book's first page—a detailed
January 2001 snapshot of Clinton's first morning as a private
citizen—the book grabs the reader's attention and holds on tight. .
. . detailed and intimate . . . . Coming in the midst of a
particularly fierce election season, this look at Clinton and his
extraordinary work ethic may strike readers as almost
poignant.”
*Publishers Weekly*
“This deeply researched narrative about the 16 years since Bill
Clinton left office sheds light on his strengths and
weaknesses.”
*The New York Times Book Review*
“A compelling portrait”
*Pittsburgh Post-Gazette*
