Bill Clinton: Building a Bridge to the New Millennium: Routledge Historical Americans

Autor David Harry Bennett
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 dec 2013
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, Clinton's political and personal actions ensured his lasting status as a controversial figure. In Bill Clinton: Building a Bridge to the New Millennium, David Bennett traces Clinton's 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 Clinton's achievements, failures, and legacy in historical context.
Situating the former president in the trajectory of 20th century liberalism, Bennett draws on Clinton's 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.
