Lloyd James
It is the story of how ambitious men and women climbed out of rural obscurity and "how friendships break down and lives are ruined". Anecdotes fall like bright coins from a raconteur's rich purse.
"Whitewater" is shown for what it was, a venture in land speculation that fell victim to mismanagement and high interest rates. Lies and cover-ups were the inevitable result.
Vintage political history, Arkansas Mischief is a southern tragedy with lessons for us all.

Critic reviews

"His book shows more than anything yet written about Whitewater that the human drama of this scandal may outlast even its political effects." (Wall Street Journal)

You get no real understanding of why this was a "national scandal". It is so apologetic to the Clintons it was at times nauseating. But...what do you expect from someone who grew up worshipping tyrants such as FDR?
I zoomed through this book waiting for it to get good, and it really never did. In the end, to paraphrase another southern gentleman....it was full of not much fury, and signified very little.
Fair to middlin'
