About this listen
With dozens of fresh revelations about both Bill and Hillary Clinton, Tyrrell sheds important new light on their activities in Arkansas and Washington. Tyrrell also draws together the overwhelming evidence - enough to convict any lesser citizen - that the Clintons are guilty of tax fraud, obstruction of justice, and lying to government agencies.

Best-selling author, former White House speechwriter, and Atlantic columnist and media commentator David Frum explains why President Trump has undermined our most important institutions in ways even the most critical media has missed, in this thoughtful and hard-hitting book that is a warning for democracy and America's future. Quietly, steadily, Trump and his administration are damaging the tenets and accepted practices of American democracy, perhaps irrevocably.

In January of 1973 Richard Nixon announced the end of the Vietnam War and prepared for a triumphant second term - until televised Watergate hearings revealed his White House as little better than a mafia den. The next president declared upon Nixon’s resignation “our long national nightmare is over” - but then congressional investigators exposed the CIA for assassinating foreign leaders. The collapse of the South Vietnamese government rendered moot the sacrifice of some 58,000 American lives.

Story
In his memoir, Barack Obama omits the full name of his mentor, simply calling him "Frank." Now, the truth is out: Never has a figure as deeply troubling and controversial as Frank Marshall Davis had such an impact on the development of an American president. Although other radical influences on Obama - from Jeremiah Wright to Bill Ayers-have been scrutinized, the public knows little about Davis, a card-carrying member of the Communist Party USA, cited by the Associated Press as an "important influence" on Obama....

Story
Acclaimed historian Rick Perlstein chronicles the rise of the conservative movement in the liberal 1960s. At the heart of the story is Barry Goldwater, the renegade Republican from Arizona who loathed federal government, despised liberals, and mocked "peaceful coexistence" with the USSR. Perlstein's narrative shines a light on a whole world of conservatives and their antagonists, including William F. Buckley, Nelson Rockefeller, and Bill Moyers. Vividly written, Before the Storm is an essential book about the 1960s.

Story
For decades, the specter of homosexuality haunted Washington. The mere suggestion that a person might be gay destroyed reputations, ended careers, and ruined lives. At the height of the Cold War, fear of homosexuality became intertwined with the growing threat of international communism, leading to a purge of gay men and lesbians from the federal government. In the fevered atmosphere of political Washington, the secret “too loathsome to mention” held enormous, terrifying power.

Critic reviews
"The record Mr. Tyrrell offers in Boy Clinton - assembled with insight, wit, and literary flair - gives a picture of two people intent of penetrating the checks and balances of the Constitution and impose their cronies on Washington and the vision of their 1960s gurus on the nation...." (Wall Street Journal)
This is an entertaining book, if for no other reason than it is always entertaining to hear the truth about how horrible Bill and Hillary Clinton were/are. Clinton is portrayed as ineffective, unfocused, and a failure up until the point the book was written. This is a whitewash of course, since Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar and obviously groomed for the position. His crimes are mentioned but the most egregious ones, such as the murder of Branch Davidians at Waco, are barely touched upon. Whitewater and the murder of Vince Foster don't get much attention either. The drug running through Mena show up early and then disappear. It's a shame because much of this book is excellent. I only wish it was a little harder on Clinton, and not try to portray him as so naive and ineffective. It was always Clinton's rope-a-dope strategy.
Tyrrell is a very smart man, but this hinders the narrative at times because he does have a tendency to show off how smart he is, and talk down to the reader. Too many large words and tangents into psychology and side narratives, but all in all a worthwhile read.
I miss the days of the "Vast right wing conspiracy" when we could at least pretend there was any difference in the 2 parties, instead of their unanimous support of war, central banking and, of course, the genocide committed by Israel.
