My Life – Bill Clinton

I’ve been reading extracts from Bill Clinton’s new memoir, My Life.

I’ve always liked Clinton and remember the great sense of change in 1992 when he won the Presidency. He’s an interesting man with obvious talents and flaws.

I’ve never met him but I remember seeing his presidential helicopter buzzing over Birmingham at the ’98 G7 summit.

What struck me about the book is just how much of an instinctive politician he is. From his very early days, he was dining with senators and campaigning. Politics is in his blood.

Clinton is famously titled, the great communicator. Apparently, no one could work a room with the skill or style of Clinton.

His book adopts a folksy, conversational style, but doesn’t really contain any new revelations. Worth a read though.
